AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

One night, I had a dream where some people were shooting at me, and the bullets were hitting me. I was crying a lot😭. Then a friend came, and I told him to take me to the hospital, but he was wasting time on the way. I was shouting to take me quickly. Then I called out to my Guru, asking him to take me into his refuge. From above, a voice came with his picture, saying that this is not the path of liberation but the path of transformation. Then my friend, while wasting time, took me to the hospital. The doctor said that there was no blood, only marks. Please explain this dream.

It means that though you were being attacked by the adverse forces trying to instill fear. Sri Aurobindo told you not to be afraid as it is a path that is opposed by these forces and one should be full of faith and courage. As the last bit showed you that even though you were hit, no damage was done. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

“There is no criterion, but one can easily distinguish if one is in the inward condition, not sleep, in which most visions take place, by the nature of the impression made. A vision in a dream is more difficult to distinguish from a vivid dream-experience but one gets to feel the difference”- from Letters of Yoga. Alok Da, can you please explain the last line written by Sri Aurobindo? 🌄

A vivid dream experience is generally of a symbolic nature that reveals a deeper truth through the sign language of dreams. A vision, on the other hand is an…
