Question asked by Lai
Dear Rinpoche,i am Lai (age:32). Is nightmare a kind of warning?or a message?or a symbol of representation of what our deepest fear is?i have the same nightmare since i was a kid. i was chased by a group of snakes. In my dreams, I always desperate to escape, and my heart is full of panic. It repeated occasionally with just the background changed but most of the time it was happen in a jungle. In fact, i scared of snake.
Dear Lai, Dreams sometimes can be from fear, a warning or a message or nothing. It depends on many circumstances. It varies.
If you wish to stop your negative dreams so you can have a peaceful sleep, you can engage in the practice of Trakpo Sumtril (a form of Vajrapani) or Black Manjushri. These two practices will help you very much. I wish you peace and good rest and spiritual growth. TR
