Teaching through dreams? This is going to be a long story, so sit back, relax and read. This past weekend I had a dream with Swamiji in it. Let me back up, to say something. Many people ask Swamiji if he comes in people's dreams and if so is it really him ect. I have heard him answer this question so many time with the words
"If I am in full color in the dream, it is really me." He is in the dream if HE is in full color. OK continuing on
Night before last I had a dream of Swamiji I have had up to date five I think, and all of them where strange in a sense, but this one topped them all. The dream had many parts but the one I remember most vividly was I was sitting with Swamiji and asked him to fix my hair, and he did! (if you care to know he started to french braid it) anyhow I was telling my mom about the dream. I couldn't get it out of my head and kept replaying it over and over in my mind, I mean who did I think I was asking him to do my hair?! I was telling her that everyone seems to get these dreams where Swamiji instructs them, and I on the other hand just get nice, but all the same really strange dreams of him. Then we changed the subject, but I thought about what I had just told her. Was that really true? Did I just have weird dreams? And the answer was no. Thinking over the past two years I realized every dream I have had of Swamiji he taught me something. I realized every dream was quite odd nothing like my regular dreams and I spent days pondering it. If my dreams where just sitting with Swamiji in some room and him teaching me, I probably wouldn't totally digest the teaching, but by appearing to me in very strange dreams or doing unique things with me I really took in and digested whatever teaching he was trying to convey to me. It's like if I cannot come physically to Swamiji he will come in dreamland to me.
All of the dreams I am talking about where in full color so I know it WAS him. OK so the last dream I had, I don't want to go into detail about, but after the whole hair thing, where he fussed over me and started to french braid my hair, but I told him it was OK because it took to long ... anyway in the dream after that Swamiji was in "his room" (in my dream) and I was skyping with him. He told me to learn his words, I think he meant teachings, and later on indirectly told me to listen to his words. That was my last dream 2 days ago.
The previous one a couple months back was much shorter. There is a trampoline a good sized one, behind my house. In the dream Swamiji and I where jumping on it together. My mom came out of the house and saw us jumping and got this really shocked expression of her face. (either cause I was jumping on a trampoline with Swamiji or cause he was at our house I don't know) but I clearly remember he had full bright orange kavi on. After a while we flopped down of the trampoline and he told me that every time I was not in school I should go to India. I interpreted that to mean I should be at the temple, cause it's like a little piece of India That was it. I have had quite a few more of these kinds of dreams but these two are good to show what I mean. Swamiji said write a blog of my experiences, and I think this is a pretty big experience. At first I didn't want to write it at all thinking what will people say?! But then I decided to share. Hope you enjoyed!!
