I had a very vivid dream today, in which I was first watching viewing a crime incident completely like in movies but I wasn’t in it, was just the observer. Then the dream shifted where I was studying in group but weird sexual things started happening, and I was attracted in getting involved but saved by another person.

I visited India in 2023 and went to Haridwar, Rishikesh, Nainital for a little break from Delhi… and found that the place was full of rubbish, the facilities were not up to standard, the general consciousness of people is not at a level where they can keep these places sacred and pure.
