In the dreams, she never speaks in words....she is always smiling...the

colors

are very lucid....they fill me with joy for the entire day to the point

where I am

sometimes at the verge of tears from the joy....and they create a tremendous

sense of longing but also of immense hope, as if the world is full of magic

and

anything is possible.

 

 

 

Dear Michelle ~ I have had a number of dreams of Amma, but the one I recall

the most vividly happened when I was attending the Rhode Island retreat a

number of years ago. Because I am sick, and was then, I have to rest

periodically, so, after being at the Hall most of the day, I had to go take a

nap. I was

worried I would miss Devi Bhava, but then I fell into a deep sleep. In my

sleep (though at the time it felt like I was awake, and I didn't realize it was

a dream until I really woke up), I could hear the singing at the Hall (which

was impossible because my dorm was too far away for me to really hear the

singing). Then I heard Amma calling me. I woke with a start, realizing I had

just had a dream but that Amma was calling me so I wouldn't miss Devi Bhava. I

schooched over to the hall as quickly as I could and got there just in time

for Devi Bhava. I was so grateful that Amma called me so I didn't miss this ~

it goes beyond words.

 

By the way, your accounts of Amma "speaking" to you without words, reminds

me of the English Bhajan, "Teach me the Language." If you don't know it, it

goes through the language of your heart, of your smile, of your eyes, of your

light, etc. It does mention the language of "your voice," but I don't think the

song is referring to ordinary speech. Thank you for sharing your wonderful

accounts of your dreams with Amma. I will be interested to see what others

write about this. Jai Maa ~ Linda
