I had a very vivid nightmare a few days ago. The dream began with a stranger intruding through the window of my room and started attacking me with a drill, I forcefully grabbed them and chanted “Om Mani Padme Hum”— A mantra I often use in my daily life and I overpowered them and they disappeared. My hand, or finger tips were stained black. I looked underneath my bed and there were various rainbow clutter that appeared there, the bed was in a different place in my room. Then I ran down to my front room, and my mother was on her phone and I asked her what news she was reading — a controversial topic on the 14th Dalai Lama and a prophecy that he would step down, she also made a weird chanting noise. I said to her, it was written by a monk that didn’t like him. Then I saw a crowd of Theravada monks wearing orange robes jumping into a river. Then I returned back to the room, someone came through the door and tried to attack me with a screwdriver, I chanted again and then I woke up. With my hands in position that indicates respect and honour whilst lying down. 🙏 I understand that bad dreams are an indication that negative karma has been burnt
This dream appears to be a manifestation of your subconscious mind working through some fears and concerns, as well as reflecting your spiritual practices and beliefs. The stranger in the dream may represent a sense of invasion or violation of your personal space or boundaries. The drill could symbolize fear or anxiety you have about being attacked or harmed physically or emotionally.
Your use of the mantra to overcome the attacker reflects the strength and power of your spiritual practice. The rainbow clutter under the bed may symbolize hidden aspects of yourself or your life, like repressed emotions or unresolved issues, that need to be explored and dealt with.
The news about the Dalai Lama stepping down and the chanting noises made by your mother suggest a need for reflection on spiritual leadership and authority. The crowd of monks jumping into the river may symbolize a need for purification or a release of negative energy or beliefs.
Overall, this dream may be encouraging you to continue to rely on your spiritual practices and beliefs to overcome fears and challenges, while also remaining open to exploring and addressing any hidden issues in your life.
