once a lady asks her husband, “ Mein aapke sapneme ati hu kya??? ” :p
Husband says “Bilkul nahi!” haha
Wife says “QQQQQQQ”
Husband, “nahi nahi me ratme hanuman chalisa jap karke sota hu.”
Wife, “To kya hua??”
To husband bola, “Bhoot pishach nikat nahi ave, Mahavir jab naam sunave” haha
Husband is so much haunted by her wife ghost hehe.. Some people are so fond of horror movies that even they are scared of them they will go and watch in the theater in the company of their friends and while sleeping they will say mere bagal me aake soja please!! darr lagta hai to dekhne kisne bola :p
I also used to watch lot of scary stuffs in my childhood. Because I had assumption that bhoots are imaginary, you know they are real!! And I would get all horrible dreams. Abi bhutka picture dekhke bhagwan thodi ayenge sapneme! Well no worries I have a solution for this too. But first of all let me explain what is a dream. The prerequisite to understand it better is to know we are not this body we are spirit souls. And this body has two divisions 1) Gross body made up of panch mahabhuta earth, air, water, fire, ether. 2) Subtle body made up of Mind, Intelligence and False ego. The Consciousness is the characteristic of a living being which distinguishes us from nonliving matter. Soul and consciousness are inseparable entities. Now this consciousness has 4 levels as Srila Baldev Vidyabhushan explains:
Jagruti: When we are perceiving the external world through our senses its called as jagruti state. Consciousness comes out of the soul and then through the subtle body and then through the gross body into the external world.
Swapn: This is the dream stage where consciousness reaches from soul to the subtle body only.
Shushupti: It is the state of deep sleep. The soul’s consciousness is completely withdrawn from both gross and subtle body.
Turya/ Samadhi: The state of complete trance. Where consciousness through the soul is directed to the spiritual level of reality.
Srila Baldev Vidyabhushan says, in dreams we are present either as a participant or observers. And we really don’t have the control over what events happen the next. As the supreme controller, God has created this gross world for the fulfilling our desires performing our karmas through the gross objects of this world he has created the dream world too which is made up of subtle objects. The desires which we don’t express on gross level but those we keep limited to our mental platform or you better say subtle platform are executed in this dream world they say na “Mani vase te swapni dise”.
In this gross world, material world we get the reactions for our major karmas. And in the dream world we get the reactions for our minor karmas. That is why not all the people will get nightmares. And some will never get a nightmare at all they will get the bad dreams but not severely bad dreams. And sometimes it’s the kindness of Lord, krsna who gives the reactions to our major karma though the subtle platform of the dreamworld. So we have to be thankful for it.
Two things are responsible for bad dreams
Direct indulgence. We are involved in those activities or we are voluntarily or involuntarily surrounded by such activities.
Past lives impressions
In the first case you have full control, your free will “What to choose” so the bad dreams can be prevented.
In second case you don’t have much control but There is no need to get carried away what bad we see in the dreams until you can forget it and if it doesn’t have any psychophysical effect on you. Just leave it just forget it. And in case if your bad dreams are troubling you so much you must understand simply taking drugs or mere psychiatrist meetings can never give you the solution because the problem itself is on subtle platform. So do you remember the joke that I said in the starting?? :D One of the attribute of lord Vishnu is ‘Duswapnanashanam’ The one who destroys the bad dreams. In seventh canto of bhagvatam it is said you can also chant nrisimha pranam before going to sleep, for preventing bad dreams.
In childhood I liked to watch horror movies but when bhoot started giving me their darshan in the dreams I was disturbed that I believed they are false but why they are coming in my dreams, I talked about this with my friend requesting her to give me a solution, my friend said, hmmm do 1 thing before sleeping pay obeisance’s to devi, the goddess and sleep. That night only I went in front of our altar.I got confused which devi?? I saw sarswati devi, laxmi devi, parvati devi & durga devi I paid obeisance’s to all haha.. went to sleep and literally that night I had no ghost :D
I was happy I did it daily.. and meanwhile I had stopped watching scary movies too..
After some years I came into krsna consciousness.. I was away from all scary stuffs. One night I was preparing for my exam. I was getting bored of revisions. I came out my cousin was watching a horror movie and it was last scene I don’t want to describe it but I got scared you know haha but at the end Hanumanji saves the hero and heroine. But I got scared uska kya?? I recalled whenever I used to watch something horrible I used to see them in dream too.. I prayed oh krsna today will be the real test. If I am practicing sincerely I will not have their beautiful darshan else I will be so discouraged plz help me.. I told one of my friend I was adviced to chant before sleep.. I was chanting hare krsna mahamantra within mind and just like that went to sleep.. when I woke up I was so happy, enchanted and thankful krsna did reciprocated with me we have 1 balgopaljika photo.. that balgopalji came in my dream in the deity form.. I took the meaning that even if i(krsna) come in a baby form u need not have to worry ☺ and also I got darshan of hanumanji who was from that movie :D
Thank you very much
