This is on 10th of October 2015 when I went to sleep at night. I can’t actually tell you whether it was morning of the next day or not.
From my life’s experiences of having rejection and mediocrity all the time getting so unbearable that the feeling evolved in my dream too.
I was having a huge bunch of friends in my dream. My friends were only for namesake which I will reveal to you during my dreamy experience. I was hanging out with them quite often don’t know where exactly I was going with them. Once I went to a place to eat with that lot.
The cook who was an Indian lady very humbly served them the food first and then served me so my friends finished eating their food and left. They did not wait for me to finish.
Fortunately, my dad was there too. I ate my food with my dad as a company.
With a lot of friends every night we had to pass through a place which was very eerie, so we would give each other company and stay in a group while passing through that place. Actually, we always pass through that place in order to reach our houses.
That night after the dinner I was alone as my friends didn’t wait for me. I decided to face my fear this time. I decided to go alone and find out why people are scared of going to that place all by themselves.
I went.
That place felt like an abyss in one’s heart which is shrouded and afraid of all sorts of negative happenings. It was dark, gloomy and very dull. No doubt people were afraid of it and so they stayed in a group. But this time I had no choice also I wanted to experience that place all by myself, so I went in. I was dead scared to enter through the door.
The minute I entered in to that gloomy darkness an unknown face appeared from nowhere. I asked him who he was and what is he doing there.
He replied, “ I am negative, dull, suicidal, failure, loser image of mankind. I live here because I am forcefully created by people and am made to stay here.”
I asked him, “Why don’t you move out?”
He said, “I am being created by you lot, so I can’t be dead unless and until you guys do something about it.
He also stated that people become sad, hurt, depressed and then they are afraid of darkness they create inside them and then they do all kind of crimes including suicide. Later, they name it as devil inspired which is attributed to him.
He continued, “I am nothing like I told you. I am just a creation of you guys. Even god does not know about it. When people commit suicide they don’t come to me, I don’t see them anymore after they die. They straight away go to god, then why create me and scare the other beings around. I am tired of this life. Someone has to do something about it.
I asked that face, “What can I do to set you free now?”
His reply was very stunning.
He uttered, “You and your people have to trust only one thing that is ‘GOD’. He created you but you are creating your own troubles through lusts, anger, fear, greed, and then naming it as devil and assigning me a place in your heart where there is no happiness, no smile only pains. You continue living with such emotions and then make me stay in it. Then, you blame me for all the wrong happenings in your life.”
I was so shocked but I didn’t stop asking him questions.
I asked, “So what should we do?”
He said, “You guys have to pray every day. Live a simple life. Have fewer expectations. Stay positive. Control your desire. Leave everything to HIM. He will take care of it. He knows what you want. Just keep your heart open for bright light for ‘GOD’ to enter in it. Don’t be biased. Don’t get hurt for what others do to you. Just forgive and forget. This is how you can set me free from the darkness. I am not a devil rather I sit and cry in the dungeons of your hearts. They created this place for me and they themselves are scared to come here. They should instead know that I can’t do anything to them. Since you are here you can do something now. You can put all the lights and candles in this place and illuminate this whole area so that next time people won’t be afraid of coming to this place and I will peacefully leave.”
