Interesting summation m.namasivayam. I find many similarities with my own dream patterns, too. The main difference lies with unpleasant situations. Mine actually seem to have almost discontinued any connection with unpleasant or unwholesome situations during recent years. My usual schedule though has me practicing a portion of my daily Sadhana right before going to bed, so that may have an effect to this, as such practices balance and realign oneself in a considerable amount.

I also very frequently have consciousness of being in a dream when I am in one. The most fascinating thing I get from being conscious of such a situation is that, often, the dream will not "manifest" in familiar daily situations at all when I am aware of it's essence, but keep itself in an unmanifest, concentrated "seed" form (dream 'bija' ?), sort of like giving me it's over-all concept in an interractive nutshell, without having me incorporate myself in it's inner temporal structure at all.

Your repeated meeetings with your parents is also a quite interesting aspect I think.

thank you kain,
My brother died 20 years ago.
Actually we have no affection for each other. he came to my dream on 2 occations. 5 years back he came first in my dream. At that time i entered our kitchen where i found some cooking is going on. To my surprise i saw a pan in which my dead mothers head is boiling with gravy. i was shocked. At that time my dead brother entered the kitchen and casually pick a bit of flesh from the head and tasted it.
what do u think about it?

that's a very stark image m.namasivayam. you say your brother died 20 years ago but we don't really know when your parents died. is there some kind of connection between these deaths that you know about? It's hard to escape a sense of extreme hostility in the imagery itself...either your brother towards your mother or perhaps you towards your brother or even something else...

not intending to psychoanalyze things but alchemists, like psychiatrists, do typically deal in archetypal imagery at junctions...such a stark image cannot possibly mean nothing at all and would seem to be suggesting a deep-seated emotional "knot" of some kind...

I agree with m1thr0s. The dream would be interpreted in pretty much those terms by me as well m.namasivayam...extreme hostility in some fashion is certainly an aspect that is difficult to dodge in this particular case.

yes we hate each other from childhood.
he was 10 years elder than me.
everybody in our home gave importance to him and cared him.
i was a neglected son of our family.
He met an accident and fighting for his life when he was42.
After much hesitation and unwillingly i went to see him.
He laughted at me .
soon i returned.
after my exit he told others that" My brother is still having anger with me"
he died then.

If I had to guess, I would guess that your dream is telling you that you must close the book on this entire dysfunctional *family* entrapment...that the whole thing from start to finish is a ghastly emotional entanglement that is not good for you on any level whatsoever.

Clearly this is easier said than done. In Hermetic Alchemy we speak of the "Great Work" as the path of Liberation both physically and spiritually. In many cases this necessitates "dying" to our natural emotional bonds and being reborn from the ashes to a more global family of Man. As an educated person from India, I am sure you are familiar with this kind of thinking already. How one may accomplish such a thing and still be a functional human being in all other respects is nevertheless a challenging prospectus...
