Increased presence of God in our life –
Dreams and Visions
We felt increased presence of God in our life when in addition to
the daytime miraculous incidents Dolly started having holy dreams and
other dreams, which had surroundings and settings of the places from out
of this world. Some of the dreams we discarded as usual dream stuff, but
many dreams felt significant, few revealed Dolly's past lives, few were
from her future as she was told. Over a period of time many of these
dreams were interpreted by Sathya Sai Baba during Dolly's meditation
(read section "messages received in the meditation"). For detailed
explanation of some dream contents she was led to Vedic scriptures where
she found general reference to her dream contents. The information
revealed through these dreams seemed personal on the surface but deeply
it was revelation of selected concepts already existing in the Vedas, and
Vedanta (Upanishads). We can't speak for everyone but for us I can say
that if we tried to understand the same concepts straight from those books
by simply reading them, it would have been rather difficult to
comprehend. Having the dreams as examples it became relatively easy to
grasp the detail and complexities of scriptures. The three stages wakeful,
dream and deep sleep are a common experience to all of us, though the
amount of time in each stage varies from individual to individual. Dolly's
normal sleep pattern was deep sound sleep. She did have dreams but not
too often. During this period of her inner experiences the intensity of
dreams increased. Some dreams she discarded as trivial and meaningless
and unfortunately did not write those down or recorded them. Later when
she started receiving interpretation of many of these dreams during her
meditation then she understood the importance and started talking about
her dreams and tried hard to recall the past dreams.
Along the way in the meditations, Baba explained to her that
supreme consciousness is the basis for creation of dream appearances.
Brahma is the deity that creates. So, the dream state is the Brahma-phase
of the consciousness. The deep sleep stage is associated with Shiva, the
deity into whom the cosmos ultimately merges. In the deep sleep stage the
