Common Dream Meanings You Should NEVER Ignore! - YouTube's Favorite Rabbi

uh along with everything else in life has changed radically and continues to change along with the world changing and so when we look at the ancient writings we find that dreams used to mean different things way back in the days of the prophets the meanings changed the same dream the same scene and yet the meaning is different in the middle ages and then in the more recent past again they've changed so we'll try to get a picture of what the dreams have meant and what they possibly mean in our world in our life today let's start with the bible first dream that is described in great detail is the dream that pharaoh had a dream that joseph had pharaoh's dream is described as pharaoh sleeping and he had a dream and in his dream he saw seven cows and they were healthy fat cows coming out of the uh coming out of the nile i guess and then after them seven other cows came out of the nile and these were very emaciated unhealthy cows and the unhealthy cow swallowed the healthy cows and yet the unhealthy cow continued to look unhealthy as if they hadn't eaten anything at all and pharaoh woke up and his heart pounded something told him that this was not an ordinary dream so what did he do he went back to sleep and he had another dream and in the second dream he saw seven healthy stalks of wheat and then after that seven beaten stalks of wheat grew out of the ground and the seven beaten broken stalks swallowed up the seven healthy stalks and didn't change and that was the end of a dream and when he woke up he knew that he had to find out what this dream meant and so he called all of his advisors and his sorcerers and his magicians and so on and so forth and each one of them interpreted the dream for him but it didn't it didn't calm him it didn't satisfy him and then somebody mentioned that there was this man yosef was in was in a prison in a dungeon and they schlepped them out of the dungeon they cleaned them up and they brought him to pharaoh because he had interpreted the dreams of fellow prisoners he had interpreted them successfully and so pharaoh asks him to interpret his dream he tells him his dream and jose joseph says to him what god is about to do he lets pharaoh know and then he interpreted the dream as being seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine and that the famine will be so bad that the years of plenty will disappear and be swallowed up and not even be noticed and the reason that the dream is repeated because it's the same message in both dreams the reason that the dream is repeated is because god hastens to do this which means that it begins now the repetition implies urgency and therefore this is what pharaoh should do he should store up all the food during the seven years of plenty so that during the seven years of famine he'll have what to eat and pharaoh was very impressed and he appointed joseph viceroy of egypt that's what people did in those days when they were impressed if they liked you you became the viceroy what is the the significant teaching or the significant message that we can get from the story number one that pharaoh was impressed with joseph's interpretation more so than with everybody else's interpretation not because it was brilliant of him to figure out that there would be seven good years and seven bad years that seems to be rather obvious from the dreams me seven healthy cows seven unhealthy cows seven healthy stalks seven so the way the the way the commentary is interpreted the stalks obviously mean food i mean wheat is wheat and the cows are the animals with which you plow the fields to make the wheat grow so that it all goes back to food so when you have healthy cows it means good food a lot of food unhealthy cows lack of food so that couldn't have been the brilliant insight that so impressed pharaoh what did impress him was number one his statement that what god is about to do he tells pharaoh and number two that therefore pharaoh should store up food everybody else the other interpreters of dreams either predicted the future or described pharaoh's condition or caught a glimpse of pharaoh's subconscious and all of them were probably correct and yet pharaoh was not content with those interpretations because somehow he sensed that there was more to the dream than merely an observation there are times when a dream is clairvoyant in the sense that it anticipates a coming event you have a dream you wake up in the morning and sure enough that day what you saw in your dream happened that's a premonition we'll talk about why that happens in a moment but it is not a lesson it is not a message you dream that you're gonna see three green cars on the highway and sure enough you see three green cars on the highway no so it's interesting it's curious the phenomenon is a very interesting phenomenon but so pharaoh didn't like those kinds of interpretations because this dream felt like something more somebody told him that he would have seven daughters and they would die he would bury his he says nesso what should i do somehow there was something missing in the interpretation because the dream was more urgent than that why is a dream urgent is what pharaoh wanted to know and it was only when joseph came along and said god is trying to teach you how to prevent a disaster he says now you're talking now i hear a message now i'm now i'm being taught something now i'm learning something and so he made him the vice versa so the message that a dream carries if it is in fact a message dream is something you need to do your grandmother or grandfather appear in your dream and they say get out of the house now believe them and get out of the house when there's an urgency to do that kind of a dream is called a message dream as soon as we need interpretation as soon as we need to to read symbolism into it it is not a message dream that's why when yosef had his dreams he dreamt that he and his brothers were out in the fields gathering making bundles out of the out of the wheat or is that called making sheaves sheaving they were sheathing in the fields and each one of them had their sheaves standing and the sheaves belonging to the brothers all bowed down to the sheep belonging to yosef so yosef comes to his brothers and he tells them the dream and they got angry at him they said what do you think we're all going to bow to you yosef has a second dream where he sees the stars and the sun and the moon and they're all bowing to him so what does this do he runs and tells his brothers that he had such a dream so now they're even angrier at him and they say you mean your father and mother in addition to us are also going to bow to you and they hated him whatever that means and his father the torah says and his father waited to see not a very responsible thing to do the brothers hate each other they're fighting and the father's waiting to see there's more meaning to it than that why did joseph come with these dreams to his brother if he felt that the dream meant that they would bow to him so be patient and wait what if the tongue i mean he wasn't a child and after the first time when he saw that they got angry certainly a second time he should have known better and what does it mean that the father yaakov who was the choice the greatest of the patriarchs doesn't mean he waited to see didn't have anything more or more commit committal to do something a little more specific the reason joseph came to his brothers with the dream is because the dream didn't tell him anything it's not that he interpreted the dream to mean that his brothers will bow to him so what why is he being told this in a dream of what value is that information so he wasn't content he didn't have an interpretation of the dream he came to his brothers so that they would interpret it for him and to his shock they interpreted it to mean that they will bow to him never occurred to yosef that that's what the dream meant and even after they interpreted it that way he didn't buy it what's the message so what should i do there was no message so he dismissed it as an insignificant dream the second time that he had a dream again he came to them for them to interpret hoping that there would be some message in it and they again said it means that even your mother and father will bow to you so what kind of dream is this who needs this in fact there are fasts that are proclaimed when a person has these kinds of dreams and he doesn't want to have them because they're a nuisance they don't tell you anything and yet they disrupt your life so joseph came to his brothers for an interpretation because the dream did not directly tell him to do anything and that kind of a dream he wasn't happy with so dreams when they have a specific instruction might be a message either from a grandparent or from a parent who has already passed away or from some other saint ortik but if there is no specific message then the best thing to do is simply disregard the dream we know from experience from recorded experiences that if the dream is a message you will have it a second time like with pharaoh if the dream means to get you to do something it will get you to do that thing even if it has to happen three or four or five times so if you have a dream and you think it's telling you to do something do what pharaoh did go back to sleep if the dream is meant to get you to do something it will it will you don't have to worry about it in fact in some holistic medicine with this writings we find cures remedies for dreams that are clairvoyant which would mean that certain dreams that are predicting the future that anticipate the future which are annoying can be cured with medicine if it can be cured with medicine it is not a prophetic dream prophecies do not respond to medication in fact just as there is a mental state where people while awake imagine certain connections and certain similarities and symbols in what they see and they interpret that to be some kind of a message from above and there are voices speaking to them and there are symbols being shown to them and it's simply an irritation of the mind if that can happen when we're awake it can certainly happen while we're asleep so dreams that seem to have all sorts of associations and combinations may simply be a restless sleep because the mind doesn't doesn't rest doesn't sleep you look at the ancient writings and they've got pages and pages of symbolisms and dreams now some of these are very similar to freudian interpretation although they were written eight or nine hundred years before freud the head the kidneys in a dream represent the dreamer the person himself the shoulders represent the wife and the sisters the extremities represent children sons and daughters the arms specifically represent friends family servants the hand itself represents wisdom so that if you dream about your kidneys there's a whole thing on metals so you have a dream for example and you dream that you're going over a cliff in a car now here's where dream interpretation becomes complicated when you dream that you're about to die it says in the ancient writings that that's a very good sign it's a good sign it's a sign of long life in fact we're also told that if a rumor somehow gets started that a certain person died then you know that that person will live long so on the one hand there's there's the connotation of long life because you're seeing yourself die and in a dream it's reversed if you see yourself die that means that it's taken care of in the dream and in real life you'll live same thing with if you see yourself being pursued by an animal it's a good sign if you see yourself sick it's a good sign because it's taken care of in the dream and that you don't have to experience it in real life in fact the commentaries say that good people always have bad dreams bad people always have good dreams and that's why there's a custom that if someone tells you their dream you're supposed to say to them a good dream you saw and that's for two reasons first of all as with yosef a dream that doesn't have a specific message means what you interpret it to me and so if you interpret it as a good dream it'll be a good dream you interpret as a bad dream it'll be a bad dream that's one reason the other reason is it doesn't mean you saw a good dream it means you saw the dream of a good person and the dream of a good person is always bad so if it was a bad dream somebody comes to had a terrible dream last night you say well that's the dream of a good person because good people have bad dreams and the reason for that is because in the dream things are reversed what happens in the dream need not happen in real life in fact psychology tells us the same thing that when you sleep you can experience in your dream those things that you're afraid to experience while you're awake and so you get it out of your system you take care of it in the dream and then you don't have to worry about it in real life while awake the same thing with a bad dream the good person who has a bad dream and he worries about it that worry already makes up for whatever else had to happen for the worry itself he's already forgiven and his slate is cleaned and that's it a bad person wakes up he had a good dream he feels good about himself he's in trouble so there's the inversion of the dream but like i started saying you see a car going over a cliff so on the one hand you see yourself about to die you never actually see yourself die but about to die and that's a good sign but then you have to take into consideration the metal the car is made out of metal and then there's a whole list of what kind of metals and what they mean in your dream then if the car falls into water well that's a whole other subject now because water is very symbolic in dreams and there's a whole chapter on water if you fall into the water you come out of the water you go down uh you go down and don't come up you go down and come up you see yourself drowning you're afraid of drowning the water is cold all of these things have a meaning so if somebody comes along and says i dreamt that i fell over a cliff in my car into cold water it's a very complicated interpretation you got to figure out what the metal means you got to figure out the water means you got to figure out what the death means what is it about dreams in the first place that makes them so fanta fantastic and so fascinating the soul that keeps us alive and with which we behave during the day is made up of five parts there are five levels to the soul there's one part of the soul with which we are in contact all the time that's called nephesh without that we simply are not alive nephesh there's another part of the soul with which we function a person who can't function but is still alive his nephesh is active within him but the other parts of his soul are blocked they can't get through because the body is not receptive because the limbs are damaged the nerves whatever god forbid these things happen and then higher and higher the different parts of the soul produce different abilities within the person the higher the soul the less restricted it is to time and space so that our nephesh the nephesh part of our soul is very limited and it experiences and is conscious only of its own uh five senses that's what gives me an identity if i experience what you were experiencing in your senses i would be very confused as to who i am so because i experience only my senses i see only what i see and i feel only what i feel and i hear only what i hear that's why i am me and not you but the higher we go in these five levels of the soul the more open-ended they are so that for example a person who is truly exotic a truly godly person meaning that the other parts of his soul are active within him on a daily level on a constant basis that person does not in the first place have the restrictions that most of us have and therefore they will have premonitions and they will have uh intuition and they will have clairvoyant uh visions and they will simply know what tomorrow is all about and this to them is not surprising unusual or uncomfortable that's the level on which they exist because their soul is active within them without being restricted within them so it's almost like the soul is kind of a periscope it can see what our eyes can't see and not only ahead in space but also ahead in time because they come together [Music] if all five levels of the soul are available to the person then he is a prophet a true prophet god speaks through him if there are only four levels of the soul then he will see visions of prophecy god sends messages through him if he has only three parts of the soul then he may be clairvoyant he may get glimpses of the future of the past but there is no message to the world coming through him maybe not even to himself if he has only two parts of the soul he may see something in his dream because when the person goes to sleep he releases his soul from the restrictions of the conscious function so that when you're sleeping many things can happen that your conscious mind would not permit when you're awake and this can be good or it can be bad for example the bad stuff in a dream you can believe ridiculous things you know in your dream you know that there is no one under your bed you know it and you tell yourself silly and yet you are frightened because there is something under your bed and in your dream you're talking to yourself and you're saying no don't be silly there's nothing under the bed and yet your heart is pounding and you're having a nightmare how can it be that you know there's nothing under the bed and yet you're frightened by that nothing that's a dream in a dream the rules of logic don't apply you can also imagine things that you know are impossible like an elephant going through the eye of a needle you would never imagine it while you're awake if you thought you saw an elephant going through the eye of a needle you'd worry about your mental state but in a dream it's normal something is there and yet it's not there it's big but it's small it's bigger than the other thing but it's enveloped in the smaller thing and these kinds of contradictions because the soul is released from the restrictions of the conscious mind by the same token it can also perceive things that are true and good which the conscious mind blocks out and so it is normal for the soul when you're asleep to see either past or future or come up with insights into a subject you've been studying which you could not come up with while you're awake and that's why people who study a subject diligently will go to sleep not understanding the subject and they will wake up and they have the answer the answer came to them while they were asleep it's not only that the mind is refreshed and you can approach the subject with a clear mind you wake up knowing an answer you know it because it came to you in your sleep the person who studies torah diligently is rewarded so to speak with lessons while he's sleeping he is being taught torah someone once said he needed something he wasn't he needed he needed advice from a from a tsadik and that sadik was sleeping and they said well we'll go wake him it's it's urgent he said never mind it's not as important as what he's probably learning right now in his sleep what about nightmares and here we get closer to our time to some degree our dreams reflect the thoughts that we dwell on during the day not that you will think about animals in your sleep if you thought about them while you were awake it's not always that closely related but the nature of your dreams reflect the nature of your thoughts so that if you think pessimistically your dreams will be negative not on the same subject necessarily but in some way they will be negative because your thoughts are pessimistic if you're very optimistic your dreams will be optimistic so we're taught that when we want to evaluate our moral condition and every lesson every speech every time we get together there has to be a moral lesson not just a curiosity subject and academic acrobatics it has to be a lesson what are we what are we going to gain from this conversation so we're told in trying to evaluate our moral status and moral status means godly status are we god-like or have we lost our godly image how do we know obviously you can look at your behavior but sometimes that can be tricky a person can behave well and yet inside be corrupt selfish one of the things we look at in order to determine our moral condition is the nature of our dreams not the message of the dream the nature of it are they meaningful dreams not prophetic just meaningful are they intelligent do your dreams contain intelligent subjects are they pleasant are they friendly are they inspiring or are they the opposite and what the zohar tells us the kabbalah when the person goes to sleep the soul rises and returns to its natural habitat and there it is refreshed ready to come back for another day of struggling with the body what does it mean that the soul rises if you're engaged in our struggle with your children let's say oh that was last week's topic if you're engaged in a struggle with the children it wears you out it's tiring it's exhausting how do you refresh yourself very simply you turn inward you have to go anywhere physically you have to go back into yourself go back into yourself again doesn't mean anything mystical it means simply pay attention to yourself the books say the articles say do something nice for yourself take a nice luxurious bath that might help but do something nice for yourself could also be a little bit more meaningful improve your own morality you've been trying to get your kid to be a mensch and that's exhausting get yourself to be a mensch that's easy it's refreshing that's what the soul does when we go to sleep during the waking hours the soul wrestles with the body when it goes to sleep it does its own searching it does its own soulful thing and that refreshes it it doesn't go on vacation it doesn't retire for the night it does what a soul naturally does and that is more refreshing than doing nothing that's why we find that when a jew gets back into jewish activities more another mitzvah he feels refreshed not exhausted because he's back in his element and that is more refreshing than a vacation it's more relaxing than doing nothing so the soul doesn't go to sleep the body has to rest but the soul goes back to doing what souls would ordinarily do were it not stuck in a body now if during the day we were living a more godly life than when we go to sleep the soul quickly and easily detaches from its efforts with the body and reverts back to itself then it has pleasant experience and that is reflected in the pleasantness of the dream it has a meaningful experience and that is reflected in the meaningfulness of the dream but if during the day the the hassle that the soul had with the body was so involved it was so complicated that it drags the soul down to where even when the body is asleep it's hard to untangle itself from the body so what happens is that the soul withdraws retreats to some place between body and soul and it gets stuck in the middle and when that happens you have nightmares you have meaningless dreams you have negative dreams because the soul is aggravated it's stuck it's neither here nor there in the same way say if you have a problem at the office and finally the day is over and you take a deep breath you close the the tasha case and you turn the lights off in the office and you feel better already because now you're free you're yourself again but that's only if you had a normal day at the office if you had a messy day at the office then even when the attache case is closed and the lights are off and you're on your way home nothing goes right then the traffic is bad the weather is bad the radio goes on the blink you know nothing goes right because you're taking home with you this negative feeling that doesn't allow you to leave your work at the office and come home and be yourself so you're stuck in between you're not really at work so you don't feel productive and you come home and you cause misery in the family because because you're in a rotten mood you can't be home either so you're neither here nor there and it is in fact a nightmare only then it's a nightmare not only for you for the family for the children for the neighbors for the building so the moral of the story is this the nature of our dreams today generally are not prophetic and it's safe to say they're not even messages if they were you would know it and you would do something what they are most likely and in most cases are a reflection of our moral status if the dreams are pleasant and positive then we're doing something right during the day if our dreams are negative empty meaningless and annoying disturbing they're not premonitions of terrible things going to happen they're simply a reflection of a discomfort and irritation in our waking life therefore the practical thing to do after a negative dream is to simply improve the quality of our life if we do that then the dream has served a purpose and that itself already feels better it served a purpose one of the reasons that bad dreams happen to good people is because when good people have a bad dream they become better when bad people have a bad dream they become worse so god doesn't give them bad dreams it doesn't want to make them worse this is the meaning of the dream one more thought exile is called a dream when mashiach comes the torah says it will be like waking up from a dream we will realize that we had been dreaming how you know we will suddenly wake up and realize that what had happened before was a dream again how is exile a dream because in exile particularly when it's lasted two thousand years strange combinations contradictory things can co-exist side by side and we don't even raise an eyebrow a person can study torah all his life or he can be a preacher all his life and he can talk in the name of god and think in the name of god and study the word of god and so on and so forth and at the very same time be doing something god doesn't want him to do the example of the guy is about to break into a house he wants to rob the house but he knows that success comes from god so he prays for success and he doesn't see a contradiction he asks god to give him success in his burglary one moment we're feeling moral and positive and good and we're ready to do the mitzvah and we do the mitzvah and the next minutes as if we never did it and the same of course in reverse we can be evil truly genuinely evil one day and the next day as if nothing ever happened turn around and be good and be really good couple of years ago that would have been called hypocrisy today if we call it hypocrisy it doesn't mean anything because if that's hypocrisy then we're all hypocrites so the word has lost its meaning it's more than hypocrisy it's a dream a dream in which contradictory things can coexist and not feel uncomfortable not feel wrong and that gives us a great opportunity it's possible for a good person to go bad with with no great reason without any traumatic event simply because it's a dream but then again it also gives a bad person the ability to become good without great trauma you don't have to be the great balchuva and fast six days a week and cry every morning for forgiveness you can become good simply by deciding to how is it possible after not keeping certain mitzvahs for so many years how can you just turn around and start keeping the mitzvah after not being a moral person for so many years how can you simply turn around and become moral won't it feel hypocritical it doesn't matter we're dreaming and we have to take advantage of the dream it permits us to become good for no reason at all and with no preparation at all we need no excuses i was bad yesterday so what today's different that's hypocrisy no it isn't i'm dreaming and that's what's going to happen when mashiach comes if we look around and we say look look at how many people still need to change their opinions and to change their lifestyle in order to be ready for mashiach so how can we really believe that mashiach is coming today isn't it going to take time to convince all these people and the answer is not in a dream in a dream nothing takes time in a dream you don't have to follow a logical sequence the bad can be over and the good begins in a second and so mashiach can come in a second and that's the reality of our condition when mashiach comes we wake up and we realize we've been dreaming so the state of the dream invites us to simply make new resolutions take on radically better habits and lifestyle and so on begin to observe a new mitzvah and you don't need excuses you don't need to read up on the subject you don't need to become a master of philosophy or theology you can simply allow yourself to be as good as anyone has ever been it doesn't matter what you were until this very moment the same is true with a birthday and today happens to be my birthday so the rebel wants us to celebrate our birthdays publicly which is a new custom usually birthdays were celebrated through intro introspection and a little bit of isolation and contemplation reflection on the past year and the coming year and so on but recently that edba has said that we have to celebrate our birthdays publicly we have to make a big tumult about it a lot of noise about it and share our uh our resolutions because on the day of the birthday it says in kabbalah that a greater amount of your soul is accessible to you on that day than on other days and therefore what you want to accomplish and what you resolve to do will be more effective and more successful on the day of your birthday than any other day so when we have a combination of a dream and a birthday then we can do anything we can really become radically better and without without any strain without any effort simply by deciding to take advantage of this free-for-all that is presented to us in this world before mashiach comes if you want to be good you can the instructions are there the opportunity is there the the preparations are unnecessary and in a moment we can turn ourselves our community and our world into a godly place we can turn it into a wonderful place even though a moment ago it seemed to be dark and doomed and hopeless so i invite you to share in the spirit of the birthday and to take advantage of the dreams to to make radical steps to simply turn around and surprise everyone who knows you by becoming better it'll feel funny people will be unbelieving particularly yourself you say no it's not me it's not me who was this actor a while ago who grew a beard wore the beard for a while and took it off he said he couldn't stand it made him feel too dignified couldn't tolerate couldn't see himself being dignified so our self-image limits us sometimes and we can't believe ourselves being so good but in a dream you can believe it you can believe it and it's true it's genuine it's for real the goodness is for real and so following the advice of how to celebrate a birthday contemplate and dwell on yourself what does that mean simple think about what you could be then think about what you ought to be and then think about what you are if that doesn't make you become better it will it's very simple and in our days of goals everything is simple we can easily become bad and we can just as easily become good now is it very hot like extremely hot if we open those windows you'll be cold okay i have no solutions can we open the door anybody want to tell us about their dreams some interesting dreams what about holocaust dreams and i've had many dreams of being chased by germany and i hear that to be a common thing amongst jewish friends they've had dreams particularly i heard it from three people this week with christian there's a lot of controversy about that a lot of talk about that people who are never who had never been to a concentration camp or have dreams with such precise details accurate details of a given concentration camp my guess is not written anywhere my guess is that again we're dealing with either positive dreams or negative dreams for obvious reasons negative dreams in our generation is dreams of holocausts because that's the negativity of our generation the evil of our generation and possibly in the middle ages when people had dreams that were negative it was about dragons or vampires because for some reason evil expressed itself in those forms in those days evil expresses itself in holocaust today which doesn't mean that the person who has that dream had any relationship to the holocaust in reality it means rather that the holocaust was not a one-time event the holocaust is the personification of the evil of our generation so if you have an evil dream it will be about all of us even if you never heard of the holocaust so i guess in a sense the holocaust goes on the evil goes on only now it's safely tucked away in dreams where it belongs and again bad dreams happen to good people yes i have a question about bad dreams having good people good dreams happen to bad people and then you said if you're a positive person you have a positive dream negative you're a negative person you have a negative dream i think the contradiction there if your dreams are consistently negative okay it's telling you something about yourself if your dreams are consistently positive and yet you have a bad dream that's a bad dream happening to a good person in other words the bad dream should be an exception it should be an event not a nightly a mighty experience yeah we're all assuming we all have plans what about people who very rarely we all dream questions whether we remember them whether we're conscious of them when we wake up i again just guessing now i would say that unless the dream has a very important message or is very positive and inspiring you're better off not remembering so don't worry about it yeah i had a dream that my former husband started drinking again and using good and he's a an alcoholic he had gotten trouble from death several times due to his attitude which um the drinking brings it out and he gets in trouble and then i had a dream that didn't get out of prison he went to prison this time and after he got out of prison it was about four months he had spent in there and i was waiting for him afterwards we got back together you mean that when you dreamt that he was getting back into trouble he actually did it was due to his drinking again right right now he's recovering again did you dream about his coming out of prison also before it happened um no i dreamt that he learned his lesson through going to prison he came to know god more in a personal relationship and then we got back together afterwards okay again when a person is sleeping the soul is not as restricted as it is when you're awake and therefore time and space do not interfere so that in a dream you can dream about something happening to your mother although she's on the other side of the world and it's probably happening or you can have a dream about a close friend and it's probably happening or a child or a husband a wife again the nature of the dream is is important if you dream only that he's in trouble again that would tell you the nature of your relationship you are very closely bounded to each other but what bonds you is negativity that's how you relate when you're together and that's what you um clairvoyantly sense when you're apart if you also have premonitions in your dream about his becoming healthier again then that's a an indication that your relationship is a healthy relationship and that what bonds you is good news not only bad news and when you have both it means that you have a thorough bond you're connected on both levels so that if something bad happens you'll feel it if something good happens you'll feel it i also had another dream recently that and i i am my sister and i are not talking about that her husband got up from the dinner table and had a heart attack suddenly and she was not prepared for it he died and i was very disturbed about it and so i called her and notified her to ask her just to let her know to be prepared and she said i don't know i can never be prepared for such things but we have talked about it and it hasn't happened not yet probably not probably why would a good person relive an unpleasant real life experience and dreams because something that that experience was supposed to accomplish is not finished and again referring to any dream by the way if you have a dream that makes you uncomfortable or if you're having many dreams and you'd rather not one of the one of the things to do is to give charity in the amount of a meal whatever it would cost you to eat a meal give that amount of charity with the intention asking god to please take away the dreams whether they're recurring dreams or a one-time dream but charity is the antidote to bad premonitions and stuff like that so maybe the dream is simply meant to get you to do another mitzvah and if you give it to dhaka that'll be the mitzvah and you'll be finished with it try it no money back guarantee uh does god have dreams he has nightmares i don't know if god has dreams um i think when we have dreams we're a little bit closer to god a little closer to truth um does that mean that god has dreams i suppose if we can dream he can certainly dream anything we can do he can do better but i don't know nightmares he has nightmares a lot of nightmares sleeplessness yeah we keep them we keep them away 11 o'clock when at home he worries i mean that i mean that literally the 11th hour you know it's like time and it's hard for him to wait as it is for us yeah i wanna know like i have a lot of times dream that i can see something is happening and then like in five six or a week a month later that thing will happen and i'm not uh i'm not sure i'm a good person at that level so i can see it so you know i have the whole levels and stuff now what i'm saying is that sanji will see it when he's awake what you see in a dream that might come true five weeks later that savage sees while he's awake so what's because his nisham is not restricted the way ours is because arnold is restricted the only time we get a glimpse of anything besides the immediate present is when we're sleeping in dreams but again i wouldn't i wouldn't attribute too much significance to something happening that you dreamt about five weeks ago because almost anything you dream about will happen within five or six weeks unless it's unless it's weird but any normal event is a normal event sooner or later it's gonna happen so it's it's more the kind of a dream that you want to go to somebody and say is there any meaning to this because it doesn't seem bad once was like i had a dream that that my father was in an accident that i i woke up i come in the morning you
