Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 SAI Ram Dear Brothers and Sisters, In this context, wanted to recapitulate and share with you Bhagawan Baba`s messages about dreams. Swamy says entire life is a dream. We experience joy and sorrow in dreams. they last only till we wake up. Dreams are unreal. In the waking state the dream world has no existence and in the dream state the waking world does not exist. Swamy says," We have a day dream and a night dream distinct from each other. But you are present in both states. Hence you are Omnipresent. When both the waking and sleeping states are experienced as dreams, life itself becomes a dream." Thus we must realise the true nature of these states. In the dream state, the mind creates its own world. In dream state time,action and result are at the level of the mind alone. The five sense perceptions are not functioning in dream state. Physical body remains where it was before entering into dream and remains mostly unaffected. All that happens in the dream state, the experiences and events, occurs in fleeting moments. What is experienced in a life span of 40to 50 years is covered in two minutes in dream. What we experience in the dream vanishes in a few moments in the waking state. Swamy says,"What is active in the dream is the Super Mind." It is more powerful than the ordinary mind, because it encompasses in a brief moment all that happens in space and time over long distances and periods. While the ordinary mind triggers action in the waking state, it is the Super Mind which activates the dream state. The Self or Atma is present in all the three states, viz., waking, dream and deep sleep. That alone is the Reality. That alone exists and nothing else exists. Neither the waking state nor the dream state are true. Hence dreams which are only creations of the ordinary mind are not true. There are scientific theories and conceptions about Dreams. We will not go into those in this submission. Enough to understand that life itself is a dream.
