Indeed suffering comes to open an inner door for us and if we use the moment and the opportunity then we can discover the permanent Source and Joy within us.

This was the second time this happened. I had a dream at night that my scooty had stopped because it was out of fuel; this was the dream. Now real thing that happened the next day was that the same thing happened, but because I was aware, I went to the petrol pump and the scooty stopped right there only. 🌙🔮[…]

These are dream signals given by certain benevolent vital forces that are in contact with you. Of course these will pass off as premonitory dreams.
