Dreams of the Real kind.
--
This morning I had a dream.
A vivacious girl of about 25 years was talking to me. She hinted that she was going to sacrifice me. Though she didn’t use this word to say that she would kill me, I was just told about this without her saying a word.
The next moment the stage was set.
In a small room of about 6’ by 8’ where there was a single bed and a chair where I was sitting before her, she looked into my eyes. She and the whole room were glowing with a kind of milky silvery light. She had before her a plate, that too was looked like made of silver, upon it there was a scimitar, a straight one knife, with a single blade on one edge while the other was quite thick. The handle of the knife was like of a decorated sword.
She looked in my eyes. Our eyes met for a second as if mute conversation was taking place between them. Verbally, she might have uttered :
“Ready?”
To which I nodded, saying:
“Yes!”
The next moment I was awake.
A bit thoughtful of the meaning of the dream,
I got up, As the room was hot and the dawn (5:00 a.m.) was at the door, I opened the door and sat on the parapet of the stairs with 2-steps that leads to the terrace.
Behind was the Great Hill of Devi. With eyes closed, I sat there for a few seconds, turned back and wished ‘Hello’ to Devi.(As usually, as I often do).
Then suddenly I was told the meaning of my dream.
She uttered:
“I sacrificed the animal in you!”
Sigh! What a great relief.
And then at once I remembered a passage about Ma Anandamayi, Who while performing ‘Kali-puja’ had remarked : ‘Sacrificing an animal is symbolic of killing the animal in man.”
Here this needs to be mentioned, as the passage tells:
She had only ‘reluctantly’ agreed to perform this ritual at the behest of some devotees of Her.
I had no slightest imagination or fear of death in dream when I was ‘informed’ that this ritual was going to be performed upon me.
When we looked into each-other’s eyes for a second, even then I was just waiting for Her orders.
Again a short conversation happened in that moment, when I questioned Her if She knew how to ‘use’ the weapon? To which She showed me my neck and the exact point on the spine, just above the throat.
This was quite simple.
-I agreed.
