Purpose of Dream
(dreaming - dream interpretation)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Dreams primarily serve two purposes in life. Dreams through our subconscious self makes us aware of the path we should follow in this ephemeral world. Whenever dictated by ego... we follow a path... different from one desired by our soul atman within... it is through the medium of dreams God Almighty shows us the truth!

On the contrary in this ephemeral world whenever the stresses and tensions of the mortal world increase beyond our tolerance... dreams follow! In this case dreams serve as pressure release valves so that human beings do not succumb to brain haemorrhage or heart failure prematurely! Dreams not only release the excessive pressure... they also show us the correct path!

If dreams did not exist... most human beings would not reach the age of 35! Most would die premature death. Dreams truly act as symbols and signs in our ephemeral world. Whenever things tend to go wrong... it is only through the reflections in dreams one can take remedial measures in real life.

In the cosmic system it is our soul atman that is dominating. It is our soul atman that has manifested the body and not vice versa. It is our soul atman within that is the master and controller of the body. The sweet small voice of our soul atman that seems to come from within our heart always guides us on the right path.

Only when we follow the path of absolute truthfulness... the voice of our soul atman can be distinctly heard by one... never otherwise! Bogged down by wanton desires and greed for materialistic riches most human beings never hear the voice of our soul atman. Devoid of this voice... it is only the medium of dreams that comes to our rescue.

In the ephemeral world we gloat over our achievements... what when in our dreams we find our achievements a miserable failure! The cosmic journey of life by our soul atman demands absolute purity in all affairs of the ephemeral world. Prompted by the ego within... most human beings neither care for the voice of the soul atman within nor the dreams.

In such circumstances... falling prey to sudden death through brain haemorrhage or heart failure cannot be ruled out! Interpreting the dreams correctly is the gist of life human beings must always take care of! Only when one reaches the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi just before gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)... we do not dream altogether!

One who has gained absolute purity need not dream further. For the enlightened one... devoid of all impurities within... the world of dreams vanishes forever. No dross within... the dreams are not further necessary!
