Guru Nanak in My Dreams?

Sat shri akal,

Almost three or four months back some "ragi jatthas" had come all the way from Amritsar to our city and so i had gone to Gurudwara and returned almost at midnight:p after doing simran for almost two minutes i went to bed.I had a dream that night which was almost unexpected. i was walking toward a bright light and suddenly i stopped Guru Granth sahib was place before me and i bowed to it and after doing so i observed that the light and Guru Granth almost disappeared from my eyes.~end of dream~. I didn't took it that seriously at that time but recently when i was listening to a recorded katha of sant maskeen singh ji he mentioned different type of "Gurudarshans" and one of them was "swapan darshan"im confused although i saw the Granth but still it is a swaroop of Guru Nanak.

swapandarshan occurs when you think about something too much.

Sainty ji,

It's good to remember and write down your dreams. Keep a dream journal whose sole purpose is to awaken yourself to the other side. This the beginning step. As you write more and impress your memory cells more with the dream world, you will begin to balance the scales of your inner and outer life. First encounters are almost always the most talked about because your senses get excited over the 'new discovery'.
You may exclaim, "Eureka", yes congratulations. So you have come to the threshold to the doorway into the inner worlds. I'm happy for you.

In a dream, He came, and went away again; I cried so many tears.

I can't come to You, O my Beloved, and I can't send anyone to You.

Sat shri akal,
sardar namjap ji,
thank you for sharing your profound knowledge.
what is you opinion about my having Gurudarshanas was it natural or a call from Guru ji?

Sainty Ji,

Our ultimate goal is always Guru Ji's darshan and sewa as explained in this guruvak:

namjap ji,
yes it is but plz explain if i already had that privilege of Gurudarshanas or IL have to spend some more time waiting for it?

You have a Guru darshan when you see God in all, when you can never forget God, when you help the needy and do selfless service, when you are honest and earn honestly, and when your emotions are in check.
Gurudarshan is not about dreaming, it about living a darn good life! Gurudarshan isn't a dream but a state of mind obtained from following the what are simply called the "Golden principles".

Fateh!

Your dream - It is an initiation into the first level out of 4 levels. Refer to the 4 Laavans:-

ਸੂਹੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥
सूही महला ४ ॥
Sūhī mėhlā 4.
