In my father's dream he was sitting near the sivling (a god's sing place) and he was saying his name and mantra (shree Shivaye namah tudhyam) and the god was holding his hand.
In the dream, your father sitting near the sivling symbolizes his spiritual connection and devotion to Lord Shiva. Reciting his name and mantra, "Shree Shivaye namah tudhyam," represents his dedication and reverence towards the deity. The fact that the god is holding your father's hand signifies divine guidance and support in his spiritual journey. This dream suggests that your father's devotion is acknowledged, and he may experience a deeper connection with his spiritual beliefs. It can also signify a sense of comfort, protection, and reassurance in his spiritual practices.
