dreams

[Guest guest]

So far your dreams are concerned, it is very nice that you are thinking

about Krsna Consciousness even while sleeping. Krsna is so nice that we want

to remember Him even more than twenty-four hours daily. Regarding

instructions from the Spiritual Master, there is no need of taking

instructions spoken in dream while the Spiritual Master is still present.

Lord Jagannatha is very kind, and He can also appear in mind in His own

form, so why not in your dream.

So far dreaming is concerned, we regard dreaming condition as another form

of illusion or maya, only more subtle, that's all. But just like we may be

serving Krsna in our waking state and thinking about Him then, so also it is

possible to dream about Krsna and the Spiritual Master and so many things.

But generally we should not take such dreaming very seriously, these are not

very important matters. But if we occasionally dream of Krsna, that is nice,

that means you are making advancement in Krsna Consciousness. But do not

take such things very seriously, important business is to become conscious

of Krsna all the time by absorbing the mind, body, and words in pleasing

Krsna, and that means following strictly the regulative principles and

practices of devotional service, such as chanting, reading, attending arati,

going for street sankirtana, like that, and engaging oneself full time in

some work for Krsna. In this way, you will become too much busy serving

Krsna and there will be not time for feeling emoions or dreaming, that is

advanced stage of spiritual perfection.
