Dream 31: Wandering in villages

This dream is about five days old. In the dream, during a journey towards Āmī (Bihar), I get stuck around a village. I did not see any mode of transport, which probably means I was on foot. I noticed a hand-pump and I decided to wash my hands and feet in its water, before moving ahead. However, I noticed my ancestor's village home on reaching the hand-pump, and therefore I decided to take blessings from my village relatives.

No one replied to my door-knocks, after which I entered through the doors on my own. I noticed a bright and grand room, with lots of photos and small idols of Pārvatī decked up against the wall. I immediately took a bow. The floor was made of white marble. In another room to the left of Pārvatī temple, was a room of Lakṣmī decked up in a similar fashion. I noticed two more rooms before my dream ended. One room had many small idols and photos of Kṛṣṇa, and the last one had a somewhat large wooden idol of Gaṇeśa.

Dream 26: Healer Baby Gopal

This dream is from January 2008. I am somewhat late in posting it.

I was troubled by a nasty upper-back pain for about two three weeks, starting from the second week of December. I did some exercises, stretching, etc. to no avail. Later, I also took a week off from work and completely relaxed. The pain didn't go away.

During those troubled times, I had a dream of Baby Gopal. It was about early morning. I was sleeping on my bed with my back towards the ceiling. In my dream, I was sleeping in an identical fashion. He was standing next to me. In the dream, Gopal was gliding his palm over my back, from my neck to my waist. The dream itself was not long. I woke up and to my surprise, the pain was gone.

Dream 7a: Baby Kṛṣṇa

Like I said my memory is failing. A dream was missed in the previous list. About eight-months ago, I saw the cosmos and heavenly objects of all colors moving around in a celestial kaleidoscope. Amidst that, I saw Baby Kṛṣṇa with his mouth open and showing the cosmos inside His mouth to Mother Yaśodā. My viewpoint was behind the Mother so I don't remember any sight of Her. Kṛṣṇa was standing still all this while. The dream finished at that point.

Dream 10: The Most Handsome Kṛṣṇa

Every soldier of Dwarika was dressing for a parade. And standing in front of my eyes was Śyāmasundara Kṛṣṇa. Beautiful blue face, somewhat round, with two big and deep eyes. No decoration on the face, not even a ṭīkā, but still His face had a remarkable beauty. Curly tresses reached till His neck and wrapped He was in a yellow silken robe. Luckily, I did remember the dialogue this time.

I asked, ‘‘Should I decorate You (for everyone else was getting ready)?’’

With a gentle smile He replied, ‘‘No.’’

The beauty of Nandakumāra needs no decoration.
