[QUOTE="vsgrewal48895, post: 97165, member: 8024"] Dear Tony & Kiram Ji, Dreaming of a Guru may be nothing or may be able to resolve some anxiety and uplift a person despite my points in the following post. Enjoy my own contradictions; [CENTER][B]DREAMS/ ਸੁਪਨੈ[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][B]ABSTRACT[/B] [/CENTER] Dreams usually are manifestations of repressed memories. They are brought forward into our consciousness when our defenses are down during sleep. Most religions locate the mystery of consciousness in the subtle energy that survives the body’s death. Individual consciousness then melds into the Universal Consciousness through a process of spiritual enlightenment. Philosophers maintain that the problem of consciousness is beyond the reach of human intelligence. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scientifically, consciousness does not reside in the ethereal soul but is a bye product of the activity of about one trillion cells in one’s brain. It is a maelstrom of events distributed across the brain. Some 6,000 human genes out of a total of about 30,000 in human body participate in this evolutionary process of physiologic activity. When this physiological activity of the brain stops, consciousness does not exist any more. The biology of consciousness offers a sounder basis for morality than the un-provable dogma about an immortal soul. Ultimately it is the understanding of the physiology of consciousness which may reduce human suffering. It should also explain the core ideas of morality.

Hence, Guru Arjan in Raag Sorth and Raag Jaitsari advises not to attach much importance to dream objects: ਮ੍ਰਿਗ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਅਰੁ ਸੁਪਨ ਮਨੋਰਥ ਤਾ ਕੀ ਕਛੁ ਨ ਵਡਾਈ ॥ ਰਾਮ ਭਜਨ ਬਿਨੁ ਕਾਮਿ ਨ ਆਵਸਿ ਸੰਗਿ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਜਾਈ ॥ [I]marig tarisnaa ar supan manorath taa kee kachh na vadaa-ee. Rām bẖajan bin kām na āvas sang na kāhū jā­ī.[/I] Illusions and dream-objects possess nothing of greatness. Without meditating on the Akal Purkh, nothing succeeds, and nothing will go along with you.-----Guru Arjan, Raag Sorath, AGGS, Page, 615-2 ਸੁਪਨੇ ਸੇਤੀ ਚਿਤੁ ਮੂਰਖਿ ਲਾਇਆ ॥ ਬਿਸਰੇ ਰਾਜ ਰਸ ਭੋਗ ਜਾਗਤ ਭਖਲਾਇਆ ॥ [I]supnay saytee chit Moorakh laa-i-aa. Bisrė rāj ras bẖog jāgaṯ bẖakẖlā­i­ā.[/I] The fool attaches his consciousness to the dream. When he awakes, he forgets the power, pleasures and enjoyments, and he is sad. -----Guru Arjan, Raag Jaitsari, AGGS, Page, 707-15 On the other hand Guru Arjan in his fantasy about God’s love wants to hold on to the robe of the Akal Purkh and wants to sacrifice himself for the It in Raag Maru and Funhay in dreams: ਸਜਣ ਮੁਖੁ ਅਨੂਪੁ ਅਠੇ ਪਹਰ ਨਿਹਾਲਸਾ ॥ ਸੁਤੜੀ ਸੋ ਸਹੁ ਡਿਠੁ ਤੈ ਸੁਪਨੇ ਹਉ ਖੰਨੀਐ ॥ [I]Sajaṇ mukẖ anūp aṯẖė pahar nihālsā. sut-rhee so saho dith tai supnay ha-o khannee-ai.[/I] The face of my friend, the Akal Purkh, is incomparably beautiful; I would watch It, twenty-four hours a day. In sleep, I saw my Husband Akal Purkh in the dream and I am a sacrifice to It. -----Guru Arjan, Raag Maru, AGGS, Page, 1100-7 ਸੁਪਨੈ ਊਭੀ ਭਈ ਗਹਿਓ ਕੀ ਨ ਅੰਚਲਾ ॥ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਪੁਰਖ ਬਿਰਾਜਿਤ ਪੇਖਿ ਮਨੁ ਬੰਚਲਾ ॥ [I]supnai oobhee bha-ee gahi-o kee na anchlaa. Sunḏar purakẖ birājiṯ pėkẖ man bancẖlā.[/I] In a dream, I was lifted up; why didn't I grasp the hem of Akal Purkh’s Robe? Gazing upon the Beautiful Akal Purkh relaxing there, my mind was charmed and fascinated.-----Guru Arjan, Funhay, AGGS, Page, 1362-15 [B]Conclusion:[/B] One does not become better or more virtuous during sleep. Conscience appears to be silent during one’s dreams with out any compassion. He may thus commit the worst crimes -- theft, murder, and homicide in that dream-all with perfect indifference and without any subsequent remorse! It is left to the individual to attach whatever importance or meaning he deems appropriate to dreams. Despite my above post dreams some times dreams can be valuable to put a person on the right path as was in my case. Cordially, Virinder S. Grewal Williamston, MI [/QUOTE]
