DREAMS AND THEIR IMPLICATION
Dream follows a man like his own shadow. It is closely interlinked with his mind and heart. Dreams are caused even by an unbalanced diet; but these may occur even to warn us by good or evil events awaiting us in future.
Being a part of the almighty our soul is foresighted. It is most probably true that our soul itself foresees the events likely to happen in the future and warn us by the symbols of its choice. The process of dreaming is possible during sleep, although a man who is walking may also be a victim of sleep and vice versa. Dream is in fact, related to memory-consciousness. Here we shall discuss the nature of dreams as they are symbolized.
Time of Dream and its Fruition
If the dream occurs in the first quarter of the night, it may bear the result in a year; if the dream occurs in the second quarter of the night then the result will come in eight months; and if in the third then the result will come in a month. But if it happens to be around dawn, the result may be expected in ten days; and if at day-break, the result will be out on the same day. However, it must be noted that only that dream is recognizable or fruit-bearing which is vividly remembered; others which are partly or disjointedly remembered need not be taken into an account.
Nature of Dream
There are various sorts of dreams pertaining to land, bird, food, disease, journey, tears and laughter. These are the different symbols indicative of different results.
Land-Symbols
Making land-gifts in dreams is indicative of some positive gain from one’s wife. If, one dreams of landed property, he may expect bags of money. Similarly, a vision of black land forewarns, one of the possible trouble or calamity. Shaking of land shows failure in one’s project, an earthquake shows total destruction, missing your way on earth, means a trouble comes from the state, chain of high mountain is for dishonour or disgrace, green land for cultivation, paddy fields is for emerging out of a cave, finding a new direction on a map land foe progress, crematorium or grave yard is for growth, dismantled house is for robbery, construction of house for success in project, hunting in forest means gain or pleasures, wandering in forest means sufferings, staying in inn or hotel means poverty or imprisonment, climbing a wall stands for progress in industry, seeing someone falling down from above means benevolence to others, climbing a mountain stands for hardship, a fall from a all or a mountain while climbing upon them means downfall.
