Visions: Experiencing God Through Dreams
One way we can experience Paramatma is through our dreams. Many wonder if their dreams of God is just their imagination like other dreams. Basically, there are two types of dreams. The first type are the normal dreams we usually have that is arises from the memory of our daily waking experiences from our past and current situations. These are, in spiritual term, called subconscious dreams. Subconscious dreams are part of our mind’s cleansing process. When we wake up these dreams fade from our memory quickly. You will find that even if it has only been a minute after waking, you will be hard pressed to recollect the details of these dreams.
The second kind of dreams are the spiritual ones. These are dreams where we meet with God or our ancestors. We often receive instructions or blessings during these dreams. Dreams that are premonitions are also in this category. My guru had explained that such spiritual dreams are visions. These spiritual meetings are events that actually took place in the heavens while our physical body slept. One of the characteristics of visions that distinguish them from normal subconscious dreams is the way they impress our memory. We remember spiritual dreams vividly. They never fade from our memory with time. In fact each time you remember the dream, you will feel as if it had just happened.
