"Dreams Are Created by the Lord
---------------------------------

The dream objects are created by the Lord as fruition of the minor
works of the Jiva. In order to reward the soul for very minor Karmas,
the Lord creates the dreams.

The Universal Soul is the creator of dreams and not the individual
soul; for, had it been possible for the latter to shape his dreams, he
would never have dreamt a bad dream, but would always have dreamt only
propitious ones.

Prophetic Dreams
-------------------

Many riddles of life are solved through hints from dreams. Through
dreams one may receive proper advice for self-correction. Through
dreams one may know how to act in a particular situation. Saints and
sages appear in dreams during times of difficulty and point out the
way.

Works of genius like poems, etc., are found in dreams. Remedies for
diseases are prescribed in dreams. Some times the exact object seen in
dreams is seen afterwards in the waking state."
