What is a vision & what is a dream

[Guest guest]

sairam, i need some advice regarding the difference between a vision & a dream. This happened 2 years back when i had to make a quick trip to my parents place because my mother was not well. after a few days of my going there, a devi pooja was conducted in my mothers ancestral home, a trikaala pooja, which proceeds till late night, i & my mother usually attend it if i am there, but since that day my mother was not able to go i too did not attend it. all of us had an early night that day because of stress & in the middle of the night, i saw a wonderful image of my beloved durga. i was shocked by the image . it is as follows. First i saw our small temple where a trident was kept & worshipped as devi. i saw the temple first then a round ball of fire coming from outside entering the closed

door of the temple, then after a few seconds i heard powerful jingling sound of bells inside the temple , then suddenly i saw the trident on the left side wall near the door & before long i saw my beloved mother durga who was standing facing the temple her hair was long with a crown & she just looked sideways at me, the eyes of my mother was so huge & the intensity of her look was so powerful that i couldnt breath, & i stood staring at her for so long, since she stared at me looking at me sideways, i couldnt breath , i was mesmerised, there was no sound coming out from my mouth & my body couldnt move for shock it was so near & so wonderful but unfortunately for me i couldnt withstand her stare for long since her eyes were so huge in her beautiful face, so i just closed my eyes for a second & when i opened them she was not to be seen. i was unable to react or speak

immediately , my body was vibrating, then finally when i got my sound back i called my beloved mother to show me her face once again but couldnt see that face again.many times i have prayed to her to show me her face again but i was not able to see it. i was overfilled with happiness and peace that i thought about this with wonder for the whole night, i was not matured enough then and just dismissed it as a wonderful, dream, but now i am having a very big doubt whether this was a vision, how can we differentiate between a dream & a vision, what is a vision, how can we know it, i dream of swami but have never felt it this way so far, please help me find out whether this is a dream or not, what should i do to live upto it. pl send me your opinion & advice. i really want to know. thanking you, with regards , vidyasatish.
