sleepQuestion:  About a month ago, I saw Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in my dreams twice, once during meditation, and the other in the middle of that same night. The second time I dreamed of him, I felt something burst out of my heart, and a gust of pain went all over my body. Something like this happened to me a few years ago. Could you please explain what happened to me?

Answer: Interestingly enough, I had a dream about Maharishi just about the same time you did.  We associate Maharishi with the Transcendent, certainly someone who is spiritually very high.  It is possible that you had a moment of transcendence during sleep and the dream was a symbolic representation of the experience of transcending, namely a dream of Maharishi.

With such a powerful transcendence, a deep-seated stress in the heart could have been released, explaining your experience.  Having said that, though we can’t help to wonder and try to understand what happened when we have profound experiences, it’s best to be easy with it and not even hope to have a definitive answer about its nature.  It is enough to know that your heart is in the right place and you are on a rapid evolutionary path.  Rejoice in that and set all concerns aside.
