saw two Buddhist monks sitting side by side. One was wearing saffron robes with a crimson outer robe, the other was wearing the same, but the colors were inverted. In the dream I felt myself trying to enter into the monk on my left. By "enter" I mean that my perspective was about 10 feet in front of them as they were sitting and meditating and I moved towards the front of their body with the intent of moving inside their being. I was not able to enter the one on the left and had the sensation of sort of "bouncing" off. I tried then, to enter into the being of the monk on the right, also was not able to and then immediately woke up.
Dreams can have personal meanings and interpretations can vary depending on the dreamer's personal experiences and emotions. However, based on the symbols presented in your dream, it could potentially represent a desire for spiritual growth and understanding.
The two Buddhist monks symbolize wisdom and enlightenment. Their similar appearance but inverted colors could represent opposing perspectives or viewpoints. The act of trying to enter each monk's being suggests a longing to connect with their teachings or embody their qualities.
The fact that you were unable to enter either monk's being could indicate a sense of struggle or difficulty in attaining the spiritual growth or understanding you seek. It may imply a need for further introspection, self-reflection, or perhaps a different approach to your spiritual journey.
Overall, this dream seems to reflect a yearning for personal growth and a connection with higher wisdom, but also highlights some obstacles or challenges that you may need to overcome in order to achieve these goals.
