I had a dream last night worth mentioning here. I cannot remember exactly what I dreamt about last night, but I do recollect a great sense of sadness, maybe even despair. I can’t remember that clearly. Usually when I feel that great sorrow my dreams I will cry in real life, but here I don’t remember waking up with tears on my face. Nevertheless, this is relevant I think to this spiritual diary. Lord Avalokiteshvara appeared in my dreams, in the form of the goddess Guan Yin and I remember kneeling at her feet, weeping. My family were involved somehow, perhaps indirectly, but I remember they were apart of the dream. Guan Yin said something to me, I can’t remember exactly her words, but then she poured a vase of water over me. I remember being so happy and sad all at once. The dream ended like that, or at least that’s all I can recall.
I wonder if this is a sign of some kind. I have read about Guan Yin appearing to people in dreams before, and this is the first time any deity or form of the Divine has appeared to me in dream mode. I don’t want to construe something out of nothing, or nothing out of something, but I don’t take visions of bodhisattvas lightly. This may be linked to my goal of trying to attain a more compassionate nature. I wish so ardently to open my heart to others, materially and emotionally. I want to follow in her footsteps and learn to tolerate and love others, even if they are flawed. I myself am flawed, but still Guan Yin was kind and loving enough to anoint and comfort me.
Namo Guan Yin Pusa.
