Dream …this word has multiple meanings/ and so has multiple
implications
1 dream is one of the 4 states of consciousness. wake, dream,
sleep, turia
2 dream also means to imagine / formulate a target, a plan a course
of action, to actualize, some times unrealistic or impossible , a futuristic
extrapolation, overcoming the limitations of the waking state

vehicle, may cause accident in while in day dreaming
4 dream also a synonym for unreal, mithya ,
5 dream can be a creative design exercise for a engg solution,
designers see a problem and perceive different solutions , brain storm, without
limitations, and select a possible earthly solution, thus invent some zig
fixture tool
6 dream is a canvas for the artist to create the best of beauty /
patterns / colours without really using the paper and pencils brushes, prior to
actual creation
7 dream is a process to create shapes out of the mind, that serving
as a universal molding material,
8 dream's closest meaning is that happens when we sleep , itis
essentially a biological purification process that clears the debris in the
mind, while that sweeping is taking place, all the components of the dirt
assume different patterns/shape/ get connected as a sequence of events linking
them to gether at random, with meaning/ without meaning , even absurd/ foolish/
holy/unholy, not having a time frame nor a fixed geo identity ,
9 dream is a reality at its own level, abstract , unclear,
changing, melting, vanishing, all ripples of mind in the ocean of
consciousness, it is a changing feeble unstable reality , now existing now
disappearing
10 dream is like, factory owner , arranging for a cleaning.
clearing/ scrapping task, on a holiday when staff is not there,
11 sleep is like , the closing down the factory on holiday , only
watch man being there
12 waking is like the
factory is full of activity , staff busy in their duty
13 death is like the
factory is closed for ever, the owner absconding
14 turia is like the factory totally non existing for a few
minutes, only the owner standing alone
15 uses and applications of dream in its multiple meanings,
multiple roles are countless, most useful to most useless
16 realized man dreams?sleeps?
yes, but he witnesses the dream and sleep , and can at will
continue / stop that process, and wake up if wants
17 dream is a natures gift , so all is welcome what ever happens in
the dream, , since it is essentially a cleaning process we need not bother on
pure /impure dreams , we do not care to see each particle/ of dust while
cleaning , one gets up refreshed after dream
18, sleep is darkness, nothing exists, not even the sense of
darkness, it's just not perceivable as long as one is asleep ..however it is a
reality of it's own ,it is also a nature's gift , and body requires it as much
as the hunger is felt for food, food is nourishing, sleep too is nourishing,
one gets recharged. but sleep is known as sleep only when one comes out of it,
19 dream also a is a reality ,it is a loka, swapna loka, with all
its inhabitants, man moving conversing interacting , reacting with them,
involved in the processes that are happening in that loka, never he feels it is
a dream , dream is known as dream only when one comes out of it
20, wake is a reality , it is a loka, bhooloka, all life processes
done in wake, but dream and sleep supplementing it , man is 100 percent in
trust in its existence, strives hard every moment to earn money, name fame,
wants to win, wants to do a lot , never he doubts its existence , wake is known
as wake only when one comes out of it
21 turia is a reality, it's the other world, paramdham, unmanifest
, one exists as no body , but as pure awareness, nothing other than himself ,
fully alert , much more alert than the wake, he comes to know that this is the
truth of existence , his existence in reality is just awareness nothing less
nothing more.
after this experience is gained, his three states gain the needed
refinement , he knowing that he is only an actor in the drama of the universe,
and he does his role all the more perfectly , though knowing it a mithya, he is
untouched unmoved by the success failure , joy sorrow, yet doing his best, he
is now established in the reality firmly , and makes his journey masterfully ,
knowledgeably , every step guided by the light of the turia , here his wake
dream sleep all will be rewarding , blissful, a rich life free from any lacks
22 it may be noted that whether sleep dream wake, nothing can be
discounted nor discarded as mithya or useless, each has its role , but fullest
significance of every moment can be known only with the experience of turia ,
hence all wise teachers have emphasized the utter need of turia experience,
turia being the unmanifest basis for all the manifest universe, once this is
mastered one rises to be the master of the universe, and its all lokas
23 for some few dream is a divinity. it's an ideal, probably
unreachable, such a dream may take the shape of one's ista, may even come alive
, either in dream while sleeping, or actually on earth plane, like vittal
standing at the door of the devotee
24, for some few dream is love affair, with one glimpse of the
beloved , with just a casual encounter, one's beloved having entered the heart
of the lover, yet playing hide and seek, , while on earth plane both remaining
away at far distant places,
it's a way of conquering time and space, and seeking the union
rather attaining the ''virtual'' union with the ''dream girl '' [or ''dream boy
'',]] all filled with sweetness and joy
25 dream is one's privilege, it is one's own '' reality '', beyond
the belief / unbelief of others, some discarding as an absurd, since not all
can comprehend. the life it self is a surd ,which can not be deciphered by the
best brains .
for saints it's a wall- less existence , they reach the right souls
in so many ways, dream is one way
26 saint poet potana .. ala vaikunta purambulo---and he could not
write further , left ....
and god came probably in dream or in real plane, when he came back,
he found the poem completed with precision and beauty ...in dream mind is able
to further explore the creativity, and can write what could not be written in
the wake
27, tightness/ compactly mind of the waking state gets loosened and
space is created, new discoveries will be possible, those discoveries may/ may
not be valid in the wake , like suddenly one gets a dream that says at one
location gold deposits exists, and the whole govt machinery starts digging and
finds no gold but public criticism
28 but the adventure of '' the alchemist '' dreaming for gold leads
him in to the inner world, where he becomes the richest alchemist , seeing
richness every where . he did pursue a dream / a desire and reached an entirely
different world
29 dream can be a vision, for future , company ceo s, they create a
vision document , and it becomes the mission for the whole unit , and drives
the aspirations and ambitions of every employee from top to bottom , they
meticulously plan the detail strategy and implement all the practical steps
needed , on the earth plane and achieve unimaginable heights
30 pioneers are dreamers, they are visionaries, they go to any
extent risking/ sacrificing their life , till they reach the success , their
efforts benefit man kind immensely
31 Lyrical ballads were written by coloridge in
dream it seems...........while one is immersed in a theme, in a task, in a
trade, in a profession, unknowingly one slips into a reverie
32 reverie is a state of being pleasantly lost in one's
thoughts; a daydream... this happens since the task is now becoming automatic,
as if done by the subconscious, requiring not much attention or care , and one
enjoys the luxury of unspent/reserve attention to do its own chosen spinning,
that is how the folk songs originate, even some times the construction labour
start sing- song talks, flirting with each other, ......result is just
increased joy
and language loses its rigidity of grammar / syntax, becomes
colloquial, vernacular, with local idioms and slang and musical tones set in
33 it is worth
noting that Coleridge and words worth valued more their natural flow than the
conventional rigidity of poetry rules , and their works stood the test of times
, it all proves the mind going into a dream state, has its peculiarity and
associated benefit of a sort of ‘’release’’
34 ''Wordsworth and Coleridge set out to
overturn what they considered the priggish, learned and highly sculpted forms
of 18th century English poetry and bring poetry within the reach of the average
person by writing the verses using normal, everyday language. They place an
emphasis on the vitality of the living voice that the poor use to express their
reality. Using this language also helps assert the universality of human
emotions. Even the title of the collection recalls rustic forms of art – the
word "lyrical" links the poems with the ancient rustic bards and
lends an air of spontaneity, while "ballads" are an oral mode of
storytelling used by the common people.''...wikipedia
35 dream experiences range from earthly to
heavenly, encountering higher beings , visions seen, voices heard, presence
felt....all are one's personal, nothing to do with others approval , these are
true to oneself , and oneself interpretes understands by his own ability/
limitations rightly / wrongly .only thing is that such things happen , atheist
theist agnostic sees it differently , scientist sees it with logic ,
36 one's ''self referral'' existence is unconditional,
undependent on any object or person, it's most valuable unmatha state , ''that
limitless state''
love marriages some times fail, since the
lover does not find ''the beloved'' in the spouse, one sees the earthly and
become disappointed / disgusted
dream is a dream , and ground reality is
different
37 good movies takes one into a dream , the
viewer identifying himself with the hero/heroine and living the theme of the
movie , forgetting his presence in the theater in that 3 hours, comes out
exhilarated, .. so are good novels ,/ prabhanda kaavyaas , paintings,
sculpture, music , dance
38 dream while asleep, , or day dream or
virtual dream created by the kavi, like the episode of ''varudhini
pravaraakhya''has connection with navarasas, funny enjoyable dreams with hasya,
srungara, remorseful karuna, nightmarish bheebhatsa, dreadful bhayanak,,
39 where the waking state does not permit , or
does not approve, the system finds an escape route , ie dream where exist no
bars, it can be like a private rave party, or wild circus, or like a penance in
a cave in the mountain, or a jungle, where individual is free, even to do a
puja or tapasya or sport with gods, which is not possible in the waking state,
yet desire persisting, hence , in dream all is permitted , promethian unbounded
40 quality of dream depends on the purity of
the body mind nervous system, if one is pure, beautiful divine dreams of
devalok are possible, good persons would like to be good in dream also, like
pravara, they swear not to commit sin even in dream , this firm resolve
persists in dream also, and acts as a shield against all attractions . however
till all the impurities are cleared , some impure dreams may persist,
indicative of the cleaning that is happening , so nothing to worry on impure
dreams
41 when one had the glimpse of
Truth, it makes him to express the ''chunks of that truth'' , ie darshanas, /
cognitions,/ insights,/ richas, in a number of ways , in a number of
communication mediums, hence ekam sath vipra bahudaa vadanthi, in their lang or
slang , as per their feel , they create and create, each a unique product , yet
with a sheen of unity
42 even when one is fed up with
dreams'..........yet god continues the cleaning operation , sleep is his
anesthesia, let the process happen ,but to accelerate the cleaning intensive
practice of meditation helps
43 nidra bhangam, should not
happen,, one should not ''walk miles and miles before i sleep,'', .sleep
deprivation is to be avoided ...a sleeping individual should not be disturbed ,
....adequate sleep and in the process adequate dreaming is to be allowed
.....yukthaahaara vihaarasya
44 i had a funniest dream,
.......in this dream ..i was enlightened in a different way ...a funny
revelation occurred .''.ie, in temple do not stand in front of god, , since if
you stand in front , god and you , duality exists ...instead, enter the garbha
gudi, and stand behind the statue, where you see only the black, blank, back
side without the roopa , and i stood for a while accordingly and i found merged
with the statue, ..i disappeared..''........this is blasphemy in the waking
state, but dream is a dream
45 ‘’i dont dream,
i cant dream’’ …one cannot .at will , since ‘’will’’ is asleep , dream happens
or does not happen as per the system requirement, duration of dream too …
stomach upset or any such signals indicate that either system is getting
strained beyond elastic limit, crossing/violating swadharma, so some regulatory
action may be required….or… nature is carrying repair/rejuvenation, ….best to
allow
It to happen.
A dreamless deep sleep indicates good health
and purity
More profound is the ability of Witnessing
the sleep and dream, ie when one is deep asleep or in a dream, one comes to
know that he is sleeping, or dreaming, he can hear his snoring/ watch his
breath , he can continue /discontinue the dream/sleep and wake up as per will ,
here will is not asleep
That means he has conquered sleep, ie he has
attained mastery over one of the 4 survival instincts of nature , …nidra, aahara,
bhaya maithuna
While On earth plane , Even in waking state,
one unconsciously enters in a reverie, even ethereal , mind in silent dialog
with internal ista devatha or with one’s beloved
Creative individuals writers/ poets
/artists create their dream consciously
and wantedly driven by the inclination of imagination/ and dwell in that
virtual world like kalidas, and give expression to their visit and visions
46
dream experiences may be similar with different individuals, but may /
may not be for the same reasons/ causes, comparing may not be advisable. Analysis of dreams may be /may not be
precise. One’s own feel / conclusion is
authentic , and valid for oneself, since dream is a very very personal matter ,
it is in fact an affair with god, in surrenderful-ness
