Kindly enlighten me about the significance of my dream if it holds any importance

[Smt. Suchandra Chatterjee asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, I had a dream where I found myself working as a servant in the palace of a king, who was likely Lord Vishnu. My main task was to serve the Queen, possibly Mata Lakshmi, by assisting her with personal activities such as hairdressing. In the dream, the king assigned me the responsibility of collecting a specific medicinal plant from his garden for a particular medicine. Unfortunately, I did not complete the task.

I was extremely fearful of the king's reaction, anticipating severe scolding. However, the Queen consoled me and assured me not to worry, promising to handle the situation. Later, the king entered the room where the Queen and I were engaged in household work, intending to invite the Queen for an evening ride across different realms in the universe. He noticed me and inquired about the completion of the assigned job. Before I could respond, the Queen promptly provided an excuse on my behalf, explaining that I was unable to fulfill the task due to certain circumstances.

As they were preparing to leave, I expressed my desire to join them for the ride. Initially, the Lord was not pleased with the idea, mentioning that his vehicle, a bird, only had two seats and there was no space for me. In response, I suggested that I could tightly hold onto the bird's legs. Despite the Lord's repeated warnings and inquiries about my ability to hold on tightly without falling, I persisted, and the Queen supported me, urging the Lord to let me come along. Eventually, they both settled atop the bird while I clung onto its legs, and together we travelled through different realms in the universe. I enjoyed the breath taking sights, and then suddenly, the dream ended.

Swami, I am unable to recall the name of the medicine or medicinal plant that the Lord mentioned specifically, and I am also perplexed by the abrupt ending of the dream. I kindly request you to enlighten me about the significance of this dream if it holds any importance. Otherwise, please forgive me if the dream carries no particular meaning. I bow down at your divine lotus feet.]

Swami replied:- The name of that medicinal plant is divine attraction and the medicine is divine love. The king was Lord Vishnu and the queen was Goddess Lakshmi. I hope you have understood this divine dream.
