The Secret Speech of True Buddha by living Buddha Lian-Sheng
DREAMS (page : 74 -75)
Lately I received a lot of letters from my disciples. They described in detail what happened in their dreams and wanted me to interpret them. The dreams are lengthy, complicated and the description trivia. Some of these dreams were not necessary to bring to the attention of the grandmaster.
As a Tantric cultivator, you must know when to ask your grandmaster to interpret your dream and when to ignore your dream. You must pay attention to dreams that concern you, your cultivation, or prophesies your future; and ignore those dreams that are not instrumental or without a theme. How do you discern your dreams?
The first type of dream leaves a deep and lasting impression. You must be careful since most people cannot recall their dreams clearly. If your dream is deep and you can recall it very vividly, the dream may be very important, you can ask a guru or the grandmaster to interpret the dream.
The second type of dream occurs between four and six o’clock in the morning. The dream will be more accurate. If your dream starts once you went to bed and lasts as long as eight hours, the frightening details will be long enough to be written into a book. Most cultivators will only have dreams between four and six o’clock in the morning.
Some of these dreams are very logical and connected. You don’t have to bother about dreams like suddenly knocking into other person, bitten by a dog, falling into a drain, and eating all kinds of rubbish. Suggestive dreams are mostly simple and logical; you must take heed of them. If you dream about such chores as brushing teeth, washing face, going to toilet, reporting to work, having lunch, you can ignore them.
Some dreams are extraordinary. Since you do not have such experience if your dream that you are flying in outer space, it can be considered unusual. So are meeting the Buddha, and Bodhisattva in your dreams, since you can never see them in broad day-light; such incidence can only occur in your dream at night. Other dreams like being robbed, climbing mountain, and taking a ship are not so common; you may record down the main points. It is considered most peculiar if you could hear the voice of Buddha and Bodhisattva or see them touching your head.
The following dreams are the ones you must tell your guru or your grandmaster. You dream that you have become a monk, you see rays of radiation, and you sit together with Buddha and Bodhisattvas at the altar table. Since these dreams are uncommon, indicative of renouncing the material world and concern your cultivation, you may tell your guru and grandmaster and ask them to help you interpret the dreams.
After the publication of the book entitled “True Buddha dream of dreams”, many disciples wrote in to tell me their dreams. Unless you have attained Bodhisattvahood, most people will have dreams, all kinds of dreams. While dreaming, we actually enter into another Dharma realm, when we are awakened, we are in a different Dharma realm. Although dreams are not tangible, we have carried out any mental activities while dreaming. In this Samsara world, although nothing can be considered real, anything that has certain form is mistakenly considered a truth. On the other hand, since there is nothing concrete in our dream, it is always considered untrue. The fact remains: there are many different Dharma realms.
When a cultivator has attained a high level of achievement in his cultivation, he is able to enter into other people’s dreams and give them assistance. This is the case for Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas. Moreover, regardless of day or night, they are able to enter the Samsara world and the Dharma realm you exist to guide you.
You need to tell me or other gurus and seek our explanation on dreams that are unique, deep, logical and full of renouncement of this material world. You need not write in to me for other types of dreams. That is all for today.
