DREAMS There is a difference between dreams and vision. The one narrated by you was a vision when you were blessed with the manifestation of Master's Form in sleep. One remains vividly conscious in visions whereas in dream state you have only hazy impression on awakening. It does happen that the dear ones who cannot rise above body consciousness completely during meditations and have intense longing to meet the Master are blessed with similar gestures of divine grace. This shows His rare loving protection to you. Dreams
are the results of sub-conscious thinking which manifest during sleep. A
rarified mind is often led to correct revelations otherwise these are mainly
distorted versions of past, present or future based on one's thought pattern. Masters
do not attach much importance to dreams, owning to the fact that it is a state
where inner consciousness is rather dulled, whereas they exclaim that inner
consciousness should be developed by contact with the God-into-Expression
Power, the Holy Naam, which is All Consciousness. Dreams
are the result of past thinking, hearing, seeing, etc., which result in
distorted visions during sleep state. Howsoever, at times the gracious Master
Power blesses the child disciple with visions in sleep which are distinct
than the dreams and you remain
consciously aware of the events which
are usually blessed with the Form of the Master. You may refer to
