Home » Dreams » First Dream: In the first dream, I am in a village, and a tiger appears, attacking people😫. Everyone runs away to escape the tiger. While running, we hide near the water tank’s outlet. Some people hide elsewhere. Then I look back and see a locked house and an empty temple nearby with no idol but with items for worship. I suggest to everyone that we should go into the house to be safe from the tiger. As soon as we enter the temple, instead of the tiger, a woman’s spirit (a witch) appears, flying in the air and killing everyone with her nails. We go inside the temple, but the witch follows us because there is no idol. I say we need to place an idol of Lord Ganesh there and perform the ritual. We leave the temple, find an idol, perform the ritual, and then the witch cannot enter the temple. But she stays outside, attacking those who remain there. The entire village comes to the temple for safety. I tell everyone to apply vermillion (sindoor) on their bodies, so the witch will not harm them. We should hide in the nearby house and sprinkle vermillion outside, so the witch cannot enter. Some of us will go and kill her. Can you please explain this?

The first dream indicates being chased by adverse vital forces which are probably moving around in the village environment. The solution is to grow in inner discernment and knowledge (Ganesh ji) as well as keeping the Divine in your heart. A place dedicated to Hanuman ji might also help.

Second Dream: I am sitting in a white car with the person I love. In the front and back seats, his sister and his ex-wife are sitting. We are going somewhere, but by mistake, we end up in my neighborhood. We get out and walk a short distance, and I say my sister will see us, so we should leave quickly. This time, his ex-wife sits in the front seat with him. After a short distance, she tells me that I can sit in the front now, and I say I will sit in the front after we leave the village.

The second dream seems more like a wish fulfilment dream. Not of much significance.

Affectionately,

Are the processes of Purification and Transformation the same thing? I have a little confusion. In the process of Purification, we face some adverse forces that are mentioned by Sri Aurobindo in the chapter ‘The difficulties of Transformation’. Are they the same? 🔥🌄[…]

Purification is the indispensable basis for liberation. It means removing the covering and coating of ignorance and falsehood that veils the true self. In the yoga seeking for mukti, the purification has to be less thorough. It is enough to bring some sattwic rectitude in nature, satwasanshuddhi. Transformation proper..

Can we understand Sri Aurobindo and His yoga with the physical mind, as you say physical mind never grasps the Truth in its highest sense. So if we feel good by reading Sri Aurobindo or The Mother, even that is from the physical plane, wanting a good, perfect physical life. 😅❤️‍🔥🦋 […]

Yes, it is difficult for the physical mind to shift its fixed position and comfort zones..It feels lost and insecure. But once it accepts the New Idea then it gets firmly established there. It is somewhat like…

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
