QUESTIONER : I Would like you to throw some light on dreams . Are they the projections of the soul ??

SADHGURU: On dreams ? All dreams comes from your mind. Dreams cannot go into your soul, if there is one.
They don't even touch the two soles of your feet . Much importance has been given to dreams today .
In the West, especially in the process of psychoanalysis , Freud and Jung have given too much importance to dreams . In the East , the enlightened have always ignored dreams because they are just another outcome of the madness that you call 'mind'. Your mind , as I already said , is just a garbage bin that gathers things from the people around you .This mind is of appropriate significance as a good survival tool. That is all . To survive in the world you need this stuff, but in terms of life itself, it is of no real significance . Generally most people live their lives like a dream and they even have an investment in their dreams . it is like this .

Have you heard of Jack Stevenson ? Once Jack Stevenson was sharing his dreams . He was regretting ,
"Today I made a big mistake in my dream ". People asked , "What nonsense. How can you make a mistake in a dream ?  A dream is a dream and how can anyone make a mistake in a dream ? " He said , "No, you don't know .Do you know what happened ? I went to the Vatican and the Pope himself  offered me a drink .
We sat there and he offered me a drink and he asked me , "Do you want it warm or cold ?"  I said , "Warm."
So he went inside to heat the water, and that was the mistake ." Someone asked, " What is the mistake about that ?  In the dream you asked for a warm drink , what about it ?" Jack said , " By the time he could heat the water, I woke up . If I had just told him , I would have it cold, you know , I could have enjoyed the drink ."
Life is going on like this for most of the people . People think that before the water heats up they can have another drink on the side -- a cold one ; and they miss both .

All you dreams are straight from your mind . So it doesn't matter what kind of dreams you have . whether you see a GOD or you see a DEMON in your dreams, it doesn't matter . What ever is utmost in your consciousness reflects itself . Generally , ninety percent of dreams are just an expression of unfulfilled desire.
There are certain other dreams which happen on a different level which could be intuitive . There could be some amount of intuitiveness in your dreams .

In dream states , accidentally , sometimes you can touch your subconscious mind .When you touch your subconscious mind , you transcend the limitations of time and space . Time and space are a  creation of your conscious mind . You may have a dream like this : early morning you saw yourself  sitting in a garden ,
your friend came and said something to you , something , an ordinary situation . Tomorrow morning you are sitting in the garden and the same friend comes and says the same things to you . Things like this happen .
You dreamt something and then it happened . This may happen simply because you transcend the limitations of time and space when you touch the subconscious . It has got nothing to do with deeper dimensions of who you are . Dreams always come from the mind . Do not attach too much importance to dreams . Stop dreaming and start living , it's time .
