One of the first things I do if I have a dream and I want to know if it has a meaning is determining if the dream is of the world only to haunt me or a spiritual dream, I like spiritual dreams, the others are just dreams.
Please allow me to refer to AY for a remedy. ....... I'm out of the office at this time, from memory I suggest what the great Lahiri Mahasaya might say, whatever the problem, Kriya is the solution. I should tell myself this one, I better hurry up and qualify for Kriya.
I hope my input helps Steve.
Thanks Goldwolf i also have dreams that show my fears. i do not think these help us if we already know them. So i will remember what you said about Kriya and pray that these thoughts do not haunt me. i wonder why you thought that the person saying this is from a past life?
It seems as though the light under the bed represents you or your soul in a past life. Someone telling you the light is under your bed is your past rememberance of this person and therefore not someone actually telling you a light is there but your remembering this person represented in a dream. The light is reminding you though you may not have seen the light you do know that it is there. The light is the light of God as well as the light of a past life that cannot be extinguished. You didn't even need someone to tell you about this light because deep down you know it is there, then again maybe you needed to tell yourself in a dream about the light. Your own spirituality as well as indestructible fragments of the structure of thinking patterns of a past life reflected off of the infinite (God's Love) allowed you to create this dream. In other words, God was so gracious as to hold a mirror up to your various states of consciousness while you were sleeping and the dream you described is the result.
