Kinds of dreams
-
here's a note(forgot if i got post before):
Kinds of dreams:
1) se yin chan meng (form-based dreams) - what we see in color can become dream. Example you see a base-ball tournament, then when you come back you dream about it.
2) shou yin chan meng (feeling-based dreams) - you go to a place and there's feelings, example when people insult you or praise you. They can cause one to dream about it.
3) xiang yin chan meng (perception-based dreams) - think of it now and everyday, like thinking of fishing, then one day, you really will go fishing.
4) xing yin chan meng (mental fabrication-based dreams) - example when you come back from fishing, and you feel happy about it, then when you dream, you'll still dream of fishing.
5) si yin chan meng (consciousness-based dreams) - 'si' or consciousness is dualism. Thinking of how in the past people used to fish and how people use to fish now, then when you see documentary on fishing and you knew the know how. Our dualistic views can cause dreams too.
All the 5 aggregates can cause dreams. Another form of dreaming is condition by the weather or in other word the 4 elements. Due to sickness, our 4 elements are in balance. Example when dream of flying, the wind element is in balanced. For people who always get angry easily, they are bound to dream a lot. If one imagine of flying, one can also dream of flying. Like for children who watch Superman, at night they too can dream of flying. All are projection from the karmic seeds of Alaya (store consciousness).

That means you have dreams, but you are unable to remember them.Originally posted by knightlll:I rarely have dreams. What does that mean ?
All of us have dreams (Bodhisattvas may be exceptions) and goes through various R.E.M. sleep phases.

I think i am tired so i let everything go and sleep. Unless , there is someting which require my attention and keep me pondering.

maybe got dream by cannot remember only. try maybe onenight, if u can suddenly wake up in the middle of the night/sleep, i think the dream will still be fresh for few minutes. i tried before, but must really wake up suddenly. can use alarm or someone to wake u up. after a while it gets forgotten easily.

but Serious? i tink unless u got spiritural powers already, to see the future in your dream, could be the intervention of spirits or gods or bodhisattvas. they let u see, rather than u see urselve.

Then if we stop seeing things, it would therefore mean we have lost the god's favour, isn't it?Originally posted by sinweiy:this i ponder still. i sometimes have a glitch of event that i tot it happen before.
