Suddenly, I became frightened that the lions might notice me and attack. I jumped out of bed and ran outside with my mother, who had been sitting nearby talking to my late grandmother. We went to another house, where I locked the main door, still trembling with fear of the lions.
I then checked my refrigerator. It contained some fruit jellies and sweet candies, which I consumed. After that, I began cleaning it. There were a few rotten vegetables and peels, which I swept onto a plate. The more I swept, the more waste appeared. Eventually, a large pile of greyish-green vegetable waste accumulated. The dream ended.
The lions are the protective power of the Divine. They attack and devour if we are afraid or harboring lower animal impulses. They would generally not attack human beings, as they are sensitive to the psychic being within us.
Cleaning the refrigerator means cleansing oneself of things from the past that were preserved in memory. Good that the cleaning has been done.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
