Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Dear Carolin, Jai Guru Datta, I just returned from seeing Sri Swamiji in Trinidad. While there he spoke a bit about the subject of dreams. He told the devotees not to try to interpret or take messages from the dreams they had about Sri Swamiji, but just to be grateful for the dream and see it like a movie... Hope that helps.
