Interpretation of dreams: I dreamed of Buddha or Bodhisattva last night. He came for me, so I kept running. He also called me "Don't run, disciple".

From the perspective of Buddhism, dreams can be divided into three types. The first one comes from worry and imagination. For example, fears in daily life may appear in the form of nightmares. The second comes from close people, perhaps family members. When something happens to them, you will learn something through dreams. The third kind includes dreams given to you by ghosts, gods, bodhisattvas and buddhas. People who have developed some magical powers can also make people dream special dreams.

Zen believes that all dreams are illusory-whether they are short dreams, long dreams, true dreams, false dreams, and dreams of life and death. Dreams in our daily life are also called intermediate dreams. We should treat all our dreams as hallucinations, otherwise we will attach too much importance to them and produce emotions such as fear and expectation, which may hinder our practice.

When people dream, they are usually in two stages of sleep. One is that when I just fell asleep, my heart has gradually calmed down, but I haven't completely rested. At this time, almost all dreams are the first kind, that is, dreams revealed by daytime troubles. The other is that after a long sleep, my heart has completely rested. The dream at this time may be highly consistent with the real situation, but it is not always the case. For example, people with shallow sleep or uncertainty can't be calm enough to have such dreams.

Generally speaking, dreams are manifestations of delusion and confusion. So there is a word in Buddhism called "anti-dream". From the Buddhist point of view, our whole life is a dream, not just dreaming in our sleep. As for dreams, they have a lot to do with conscious activities. In addition, it may be influenced by many factors: sometimes some ghosts and gods enter a dream state; Sometimes I can feel the appearance of Buddha and Bodhisattva in my dreams; Sometimes when you practice to a certain level, there will be a corresponding level in your dream; Sometimes it is the perception of higher consciousness, which will predict some things that will happen in dreams; Sometimes it is a particularly strong impression left by previous lives. This impression will continue to appear in dreams of this life and even many lifetimes, and so on.

Dreams are true and false. Say it's true, because it's a state in which your thoughts are moving and responding, and your inner feelings are real. It is not true because it is only a mirror image of the heart, which is reflected by what the outside world sees and feels during the day and magnified by dreams at night.

Dreams are another us. Dreams, or the touch of the heart. A deep man of practice does not dream or even sleep. They are in compassionate meditation, everywhere, without rest or observation.
