AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Why am I becoming more conscious in dreams?🌙☁️💤🫧

2 years ago I moved from India to Canada for my husband. Since then I’ve started experiencing sleep paralysis like situations, where I’m in a loop, trying to get out of bed, only to realize I’m still lying down. Sometimes I walk outside, with limited consciousness. It does not scare me. But I avoid to do it with all my will, as mother it can be dangerous. Yesterday in such a situation I saw two very annoying chattering people, they kept talking and I thought in my mind “Ma who are they? Please give them Mukti” and they vanished with a flash and a blink, like how the Tv turns off. Sometimes in dreams I see places where will power > gravity, I can fly, jump, and where blood and human bodies are rather mushy than solid. There, I am able to map the area, correlate it with real world places. I feel every night I learn something!

I have been remembering dreams since childhood but recently as. I realize my habits, patterns and influences that shaped my decisions, my physical life feels full of uncertainty. I grew up in a dysfunctional traumatic family, faced skinny shaming, depression, married life is also equally stressful and painful. Unemployed since over 2 years, but I find myself increasingly aware in dreams despite feeling stuck in real life situations, where I don’t know how I should progress. What is happening to me?

It is a capacity to come out of the body which is now awakening in you. It is generally not advisable to do it without the guide being available near you. The dream of flying in air and the experiences you describe are of the vital world. Strolling there is likely to open you to all kinds of influences, generally of a mixed kind. It is best to pray to Her call for Peace and Protection before you sleep. These experiences, though genuine, bring their own dangers and are best refrained from. 

Affectionately,

Dear Alok Ji, can you please tell me how I can get rid of my anger at Sri Aurobindo and also how to regain trust in him? 🙏🏻💗

Trust is a very precious, priceless gift. Even among human beings it is special. But when it is towards the Divine then it should be doubly carefully guarded.  

Again anger is an extremely harmful emotion towards anyone. It hurts and harms both, the one who harbours it and the one towards whom it is directed. But since one cannot harm or hurt the Divine Beings, it falls back upon oneself creating a terrible karma. By all means desist it. It is the straight road to fall…

At one end, aspiration for the Divine and to unite with Him and to have a change of consciousness; to do The Mother’s work; at the other end, need for a proper awareness in the very ordinary and externalised human nature about the deep meaning and implication of what is happening in life and also what the Divine Destiny is. 🌱🙏🏻[…]

It is much better to catch the knot of life at the other end from where it all begins. The riddle of life cannot be understood on the surface. Focus on the one thing needful, the Divine, and all the rest will begin to fall in its place. This has been the experience of all who have gone on the path.

I am reading the Synthesis of Yoga and Sri Aurobindo is speaking about the union having a threefold character (pg. 131). I wanted to understand whether this is a skilful parallel to draw: a union by identity = Atman = Brahman 📖🌟🙏🏻 […]

Here is the passage from the Synthesis of Yoga to which you are referring.

‘That which is thus made manifest to our vision and experience, and the union has a threefold character. There is a union in spiritual essence, by identity; there is a union by the indwelling of our soul in this highest Being and Consciousness; there is a
