Every night, as the world sleeps, another world awakens within us – the world of dreams.
Dreams have fascinated sages, psychologists, poets, and mystics for millennia. Are they random flickers of the brain, or do they carry profound meanings from deeper realms?
Let’s explore their origins, spiritual significance, and hidden messages.
๐ง Where Do Dreams Come From?
- The Overflowing Unconscious Mind
During the day, countless impressions enter our minds – unprocessed emotions, suppressed desires, fears, and sensory inputs.
Dreams often arise as the mind’s way to digest, release, or express these unprocessed impressions.
Dreams often arise as the mind’s way to digest, release, or express these unprocessed impressions.
For example:
- A student dreaming of exams reflects daily anxieties.
- A mother dreaming of her child’s safety reflects hidden worries.
- Recurring nightmares can indicate unresolved trauma needing attention.
- The Superconscious Mind
Not all dreams are mere reflections of the unconscious. Some dreams come from the superconscious – the higher Self.
These are dreams where:
โจ You receive guidance.
โจ You meet teachers or divine beings.
โจ You awaken with profound peace or clarity.

Yogic traditions consider these “Swapna Darshan”, glimpses of wisdom beyond ordinary perception.
- Messages from the Future
Time is not linear in the subtle realms.
Sometimes, dreams can carry pre-cognitive messages, showing us glimpses of future events.
These dreams usually feel vivid, charged, and remain in memory long after waking.

For example:
- Dreaming of an accident before it happens
- Seeing someone’s pregnancy before they announce it
- Receiving intuitive warnings or guidance for life decisions
In Vedic tradition, these are considered “Swapna Shastra” insights – dreams as a means of divine or karmic communication.
โจ The Spiritual Significance of Dreams
- Dreams as Mirrors
They show us hidden aspects of ourselves. Jealousy, fear, longing, anger, or love – dreams reveal what we often hide in waking life.
- Dreams as Purification
Many dreams are simply the mind’s way of clearing impressions.
Just as the body digests food, the mind digests experiences, ensuring they do not burden our deeper consciousness.

- Dreams as Divine Communication
Saints, yogis, and spiritual seekers often receive teachings or mantras in dreams. These are blessings from the higher Self or their Gurus, guiding them forward on their path.
โจ Dreams as Portals to Other Dimensions
Many ancient and modern healing traditions use the dream state as a mode of connection to other dimensions, including:

In Sat Nam Rasayan, the healer enters a deep meditative state, akin to dream consciousness, to:
- Sense and heal blockages in another person’s physical, emotional, or energetic body
- Access realms beyond ordinary awareness where true healing occurs
- Rest in shuniya (deep stillness), where all duality dissolves and the body-mind system naturally reorganizes towards health and harmony
This healing modality teaches that healing happens in the space beyond thought, the same space we access in deep dreaming or yogic sleep (Yoga Nidra).
๐ How to Understand Your Dreams
โ
Keep a dream journal. Write them immediately upon waking. Patterns will emerge over time.
โ Notice recurring symbols. What emotions or situations do they reflect in your life?
โ Meditate before sleep. Sleep with an intention to receive clarity or guidance.
โ Pray for discernment. Not every dream carries deep meaning, but with inner stillness, you will know which do.
