DREAM EXPLAINED

Dream is an experience that comes to a person in his dream. It is unique to the dreamer. Each dream is an experience by itself. One cannot start the stop watch and get ready for the dream to happen as it is not possible to create a dream at your own will. One does not have the freewill to dream, as it occurs by itself.

 

A dream is never understood as a dream, by the dreamer, in his dream. It is understood as a dream only when he wakes up. It means knowing what he was unaware of. Dream for a dreamer is a reality, but cannot be shared with other members of the family. It is a reality only for the dreamer. It is called subjective reality. In the same way, our life is also like a dream, which seems so real, but understood only when awakened (when we become aware). The moment one wakes up (awareness sets in), it becomes an objective reality. Ignorance of the objective reality is the cause of subjective reality called a dream. Being unaware of the surroundings is Dream.

 

Surroundings are objective reality. This objective reality is also called as another type of Swapna (Dream). This must be caused by another ignorance (another sleep). In the eyes of Vedanta we are all sleeping. This is called Paramarika sathyam (Absolute Reality).

 

The above explanation about dream is given in “Tathva Bodha” text which is a mental preparation of the Self before one makes an attempt to read the Holy Scripture “Bhagavad Gita”.

 

Be Blissful.
