A very different kind of subject I want to discuss today and from my past experience I can certainly say that it’s something we all must have felt sometime or the other. When we remain in bed and we are in sleep, all of a sudden we feel like we are waking up and we try to lift our body most often our hands to come out of the bed and we find ourselves unable to move. Today I felt it again it was looking very real… I could feel I had another two hands and I was having few keys in my right hand and those keys were having some good weight, so I could feel that my hands were going down when I was trying to lift my hands, and with in few seconds I could feel my hands were lying on the bed in tact and those were the real hands. Then I definetely felt the difference while my real hands were on bed, the other two hands were experiencing the pressue which I could not see then but only feel. And this happend only for those seconds when I could feel I was waking up. But why it so happens? I cannot call it a dream, because then I was awake, I could see the things around me… the light, the sound of the vehicles coming from the road which is adjacent to my flat, though no other person was there with me. Yes I could feel the life in my body after that stage I discussed. It was like my Praan Vaayu, or whatever we call it came out of my body when I was sleeping and remained there in another body (in some books I read that is the sukshma sharira that every body does have other than his real body.) till I did not wake up fully and even after my waking up it remained away and entered my body after a few second, I can not measure that, because even a very short span of time seems longer then. And peculiarity of all this is it does not take a long sound sleep for you to experience such thing. I was watching TV and then I put it off with the remote and lied on the bed, and hardly it was just a few minutes may be 10 minutes or so for I could have slept. Well this is what I experience and I shared these to many of my friends, and they too told me that they have also experienced such things in their lives some time. According to some people, it happens if we keep our hands folded on the chest while sleeping, some said if we sleep crossed legs, it’s the obstruction in the blood circulation in the body parts, that creates such a feeling while waking up, but I could not find any relation between the two. Well I hope my readers might have some better answers to this. Please share your observations on this.
When I am talking about the dreams, I would like to delve deeper in to this subject. I have read some articles, research works etc. that are published in the news papers, magazines from time to time. I would like to express my observations what I also felt some times. Some times we see some dreams particularly those that come to us repeatedly and are having some special circumstances. I can tell you my dreams what I see repeatedly, not very often but may be what I saw some ten years ago, I could see that again now after a long time, and that refreshes the same experience in the memory. I see a dream when I am on the roof with few more person and there is water everywhere around our building. It’s like a devastating flood. I am at the roof of the building that may be of many floors. And I am scared of the things. Some times I see I have come out of a long distance train when it has stopped at a lonely place and I walked for a few meters and I am left behind and the train started. I want to shout and run, but all in vain. Some times I see a poisonous snake is coming near me and is going to bite me. Some times I see that it is me and I am not the one exactly what I look like. In my dreams I may be looking like a completely different person. My parents, my siblings, my friends too are different. When I see these dreams, they never come to its end and before that my eyes get opened and I wake up. And the kind of fear, worries, tensions every thing we experience then seem real even if we are in dreams as after waking up we can feel those things we may feel headache, nervousness, fear etc. our nerves may be pulsating high and all. Once I read somewhere that dreams happen to be colourless that is black and white. But from my experience, I can certainly tell that I have seen and I have recognized colors in the dreams, once I complemented my friend on her wearing a particular colour dress telling her that this color suits her personality and she should wear that very often.
Now I would like to draw some inference from the things I discussed above. First dreams are so real, when we remain in dreams we never feel we are in dreams, it’s only when we wake up, the memories remain afresh in our minds, some times, for few minutes, and some times, for days, months or even years. The pain, sorrow, happiness or nervousness, ecstasy, hatred, love what we could feel in the real world, we feel these in the same manner even in the dreams. Even we can cheat others or tell a lie in the dreams as if we are doing that in real and our heart stops us to do bad things even then as it stops us in real. Now there are two things- One, why we see another face not at all resembling our real face in the dream some times, we can recognize this when we may be facing some mirror or watching our own photographs in the dreams as we do in the real world. Even our siblings, friends and parents, relatives look completely different some times. They may be the people to whom we never ever had seen in our lives. Some times, we read in the articles, that in the dreams we use to see what we actually want to be like or whatever hidden desires we have in our hearts and we are unable to get those fulfilled. But again I fail to understand how this can be true for such bitter circumstances like I discussed earlier, no body would like himself or herself to be in such a situation, where you feel like dying or abandoned.
Further, a complete different face altogether, not just we but our surroundings, our home, or neighborhood in the dreams make me feel like it’s something we watch in the dreams which may be from previous births what we have really undergone and in dreams probably we can recall the things older than this birth. Further as we know, the feelings of sorrow or joy all lie in our thought process what we call it how we perceive the things and those remain in mind or heart. There fore, if we could have controlled these things, we could have controlled our emotions, we might have stopped feeling sorrows and pain, fear or nervousness. And that is probably the stage of enlightenment that Lord Buddha got in to. But it’s not something an ordinary person can do.
I discussed about the past births. It may be a true thing. But those who oppose the theory of rebirth, they opine how can it be possible? If we are taking rebirths, how the population increases, it has increased manifold during last few decades. Well I would try to answer this from the very little knowledge I have with me. We don’t know the mysteries of universe. I won’t relate this to God but yes there is some Supreme Power no body can deny the existence of that which is controlling everything. Actually the process of evolution will keep on happening forever. Those who are born once, may they be reborn after their death. And it does not mean that the population should remain still. New people who are taking births for the first time will keep on adding the numbers. So, the theory of rebirth cannot be held untrue on this ground.
Well before coming to my second inference, let me tell you some thing more about these dreams. The people who have undergone in situations like coma or were subject to fatal accidents, but were saved later on shared their experience as if they were in some other world where they felt like they were not having any kind of pain or any thing like they were on hospital beds, rather they found themselves in a very enjoying journey, something they relished a lot then. I read some research that some persons who are about to die after a long disease or because of old age, they feel like those who have already left and are dead come to receive him/her and he talks some strange things like calling the names who are already dead with ecstasy and then he sleeps for ever. In many such circumstances they feel a bright divine light that calls them and they automatically get pulled towards that. Sometimes, when their lives get saved, they all of a sudden come out of that world to this world.
We all know that probably most of the religions talk about Heaven and Hell. After death we reach there. Many times we say that the hell is here on this earth. What we experience in our minds seems like hell or sometimes heaven. When we remain sleeping and in dreams we feel a deep pain or sorrow or fear or any such things and then we start screaming or shouting or trembling and we find ourselves helpless but then we wake up before the end of that instance and though we could feel the lines of tension on our heads, but we forget that and start our daily routine, may be the same goes without break after death. That may be true. The post death phase may be an endless dream, if we are in heaven, we would see endless spell of good dream and if we are in hell, very tragic or fearsome dream without any break the same way we see dreams at night that seems too real. Imagine what will happen if the same kind of dreams that do not come to a conclusion and so come out of that tragic experience when we wake up, continues for an endless period after death. There would be no one to hear our screams or shouts and help us. No one would be able to bring us out of that phase other than the Supreme Power. We reason ourselves that where is God, why should we pray? Why should we mediate? The answers are hidden deep inside these unsolved mysteries of the universe. As we are having very little understanding of this giant universe and its rules, we should try to follow at least the simple rules written in almost all religions to love the humanity. There fore, we should try to do good things, and refrain from the things that our heart initially stops us to do, I mean all those bad things, which hurt people around us. Love this universe. Love the people and animals around us. Don’t discriminate. Motivate others to leave bad things of this world. Be good to others and behave responsibly. Well, I just tried to bring some inferences from my own experience as well as what I read in books, magazines and newspapers.
A very different kind of subject I want to discuss today and from my past experience I can certainly say that it’s something we all must have felt sometime or the other. When we remain in bed and we are in sleep, all of a sudden we feel like we are waking up and we try to lift our body most often our hands to come out of the bed and we find ourselves unable to move.
