AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask 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?Β πŸŒ„

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 actual seeing of the reality on the particular plane on which the vision took place. It is an actual contact with something or someone and not simply a symbolic representation conveying something that is hidden.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
