[Smt. Padmaram asked: Swami Salutations to Your divine lotus feet. You said that dreams need not be given much importance. You also said that God gives divine message through dreams. So I am asking You for Your answers to the following three dreams that came to me.
1) Swami! You recently appeared to me in my dream and said that you have lost your energy. 2) I was reciting Gurucharitra. No matter how hard I tried to read it in the dream, I was unable to read it without any interruption. No matter how much did I remember You. 3) I went to an ashram with a devotee. There, she introduced me to the guru of the monastery. I bowed at His feet. He blessed me and pressed hard on my Bhrukuti with His finger. Then I took a basil plant and seeds of some other plant in the garden of the monastery. Please explain the meaning of these dreams.
Swami Replied:- The dream means that you have lost concentration, which is excess of interest. God tried to help you by pressing the point between two eyebrows, which is the spot of the concentration. The fruits collected by you indicate that if your concentration on God is enhanced, you will get divine fruits.
2) Radha and Krishna appeared in my dream some 3 years back. Both are in sandalwood color. Krishna slept on Radha's lap. As I was watching them, Radha shot an arrow with the bow in her hand towards me. I cried calling O Mother, when it touched me! I looked at her. She dropped the bow in her hand on my lap and she walked away from there. I told Swami that I will leave as it is late. Swami told me to go in the morning. I asked another devotee whether she would accompany me to my home, but she said her work was not yet completed. Meanwhile I slept on the same bed with Mother Kumari garu. In some distance, Swami appeared on a different bed. I realised that I didn't go home, then Mother told me that it was dark and so Swami asked you to stay back here. This is the dream, Swami! I thought of asking You about this dream but I could not ask You. You have given me many such dreams. Can You kindly explain the meaning of these dreams to me?
Swami Replied:- Sometimes, dreams appear, which are mixtures of our worldly thoughts and worldly experiences. You need not care about such dreams. Sometimes, God uses the dream to give a message and this point is told in the Brahmasuutrams. You have to care about such dreams only.
