Indian dream Mantras

The Indian saints and learned men have strongly believed that dream is a communication between an individual and the unseen forces prevailing in the Universe. According to them, from ancient times till date, a few individuals have existed on this earth who have been blessed with the power to know the future through their dreams. These people have always led a life devoid of any evil thoughts and actions.

Nevertheless, the Indian masters also felt that this power to dream the future can be acquired by any person by worshipping the Goddess of dreams. In Indian religion, there are three goddesses of dreams- Sapneshwari, Yakshini and Karneshwari. 

Karnapishachani or Swapnapishachani Mantra 

“Shravanpishachini Munday Swantah Pranavapurva Koccharaya

Siddhayati Cha Lakshajapyatkarna Pishachityayna  Mantrah 

Om Shravanpishachini Munday Swaha” 

This Karna Pishachini mantra should be chanted 1 lakh times for best results. 

“Mantraparijat Kuntha Hrinmukh Karnodi Yugalmalikhya

 Suptasya Karnamulay Kathayati Yacchintit Karyam” 

If you experience a bad dream and wake up suddenly, drink a little water to calm your nerves. After feeling better, chant any of these mantras 10 times in your mind. You can do it by lying down in your bed also. 

1 “Karotu Saa Nah Shubhaheturishwari

  Shubhani Bhadranyabhihntu Chapadah” 

2 “Jai Jai Jai Hanumanah Gosai

    Kripa Karo Gurudeva Ki Nai” 

3 “Govinda Damodar Madhaveti

    He Krishna He Yadav He Sakheti” 

4 Shivahare Shivaram Sakhe Prabho Trividhatapanivaaran He Vibho

   Aja Janeshwar Yadav Paahi Maa Shivahare Vijay Kuru me Varam” 

Once you wake up in the morning, narrate the dream to your family members. If you live alone, recount it to the Almighty and seek His blessings to prevent you from any kind of mishap. This process will surely help to keep all evil happenings at bay.  

 Special mantras can also empower you to know the good events that will happen in your future through the medium of dreams. To attain this power, you need to worship Devi Baglamukhi with all your heart. Both Saturdays and Tuesdays are considered ideal to seek her blessings. You have to use yellow things as offerings for the Goddess. The following mantra should be chanted 108 times and Devi Baglamukhi should be worshipped for the desired results. 

“Om Haing Hung Vagvadini Satyang Satyang Bruhi Vad Vad Baglamukhi

Haing Hung Namah Swaha” 

Shree Brahma Kritang Radhakrishnastotram 

Anyone who is disturbed by recurrent bad dreams should chant this mantra regularly and the bad dreams will stop immediately. It is also said to improve the social position of the person phenomenally. 

“Tava Charansaroje Manmanshchrachariko Bhramtu satatmish prembhakatya saroje

If you want to avoid dreams irrespective of their time or nature then the following mantra devised by learned saints can help you keep dreams away from your life.

Swapneshwari Devi Sadhna 

In most of the cases in your regular life, you face situations where you are unable to take decisions. Whether it is your professional life, social or family relations, you have to take decisions in various matters. It happens at times that you are not sure about the suitable decision in a given condition. You are aware that a wrong decision can ruin your career, social status and your special relationship with your family members. So, you are eager to take a decision which will give you the best results.

At times, you are also puzzled about when a particular deed should be done. These are the times when dreams can help you sort out your confusion. You can receive signals through your dreams and decide whether a particular action should be taken or not. Dreams enable you to seek answers to your questions. If the action is favourable for you then dreams will indicate so. However, in order to gain this power, you need to religiously follow certain rituals and pray devotedly to Swapneshwari Devi. 

When you feel that you are not able to decide on anything then the first thing to do is to take a bath and wear clean clothes. If you cannot take a bath at that moment then wash your face and wear white coloured clean clothes. After this, write your question or doubt on a piece of paper. In the evening again, take a bath, wear clean clothes and sit on an ‘aasan’ (a small woolen carpet) and pray to Swapneshwari Devi by chanting the following mantra till the time you are feeling sleepy. 

“Swapneshwari Namastubhyang Falaya Vardaya Cha

Mama Siddhimasiddhi Va Swapnay Sarva Pradarshaya” 

While chanting this mantra, you have to pray to the goddess to show you the right direction. Once you feel sleepy, you need to place the piece of paper you had written in the morning, by the side of your bed and go off to sleep. You will find the answers in your dream. 

If the state of confusion starts in the evening then it is necessary to take a bath and wear clean clothes. Then, you need to sit on an “aasan” and write your question on a piece of paper. After writing down, you have to start praying to the goddess by chanting the following mantra. 

“Shuklay Mahashuklay Hring Shring Shring Avatar Swaha” 

You need to chant this mantra 1008 times in the evening and 108 times before going to bed. You will definitely be able to clear your doubts if you chant the mantra in this manner. 

There are times when you might see a bad dream and become upset and scared about what you have dreamt. In such cases, you can do the following things to calm yourself and prevent any bad happenings. 

1. Fold in 8 betel leaves with betel nut and fennel seeds and offer it at the Lord Shiva temple while doing the ‘Rudraabhishek’*
2. Read ‘Shri Durgasaptashati’*.
3. Pray to God at night while chanting the ‘Ratri Sukta Mantra’*
4. Pray to Lord Shiva by chanting this mantra- “ Varanasyo Dakshine Bhage Kukkaronam Ve Dwije Yasya Smaran Mantrena Duswapna Suswapna Bhaveta”
5. Write the dream on a piece of paper and burn it to ashes.
6. If you dream in between 12 pm to 2 am then immediately pray to Lord Shiva and chant “Om Namah Shivaya” till you go back to sleep. The next day, rise up at the crack of dawn, take bath and wear clean clothes. After this, go to a Shiva temple and worship lord Shiva with all your devotion. It is good if you donate something to the temple priest on that day. In this manner, you can destroy the bad happenings signaled by your dream.
7. If the dream occurs to you after 4 am then narrate the dream to the sacred ‘Tulsi plant’ (basil plant) after waking up in the morning. After this, chant “Om Namah Shivaya” 108 times to prevent any unfavourable happenings in your life.
8. You can chant “Sundar Kaand’,“Bajrang Baan”,“Sankatmochan Stotra”, Hanuman chalisa and pray to Lord Hanuman to eradicate all evil happenings from your life.
9. If you do not have a ‘Tulsi’ (Basil) plant in your house then after waking up, you have to write the bad dream on a piece of paper and burn it to ashes. Then, you need to throw the ashes in the drain and put water on it. After taking bath, you need to chant the mantra “Om Namah Shivaya” to destroy the ill-effects from your life. 

In the famous epic, Ramayan, Shree Rama too had a bad dream while residing in Chitrakut. In order to ruin the bad effects of the dream, he prayed to Lord Shankar.

 Praying to Lord Hanuman too, can do wonders and by his blessings the undesirable events can be avoided in your life. By following the right process of prayers, the effects of bad dreams can definitely be reduced if not stopped altogether in some cases. 

Manibhadra Prayog      

The Indian learned men have always reiterated the fact that some people are born with special powers to dream about the future. However, they have also stated that a person, who is a real devotee, has extreme patience and has undying faith in the Almighty, will be able to acquire the power to dream about the future happenings.

If you feel that you have these qualities in your nature then you can empower yourself with the skill to dream. For this, you have to follow a strict ‘Sattvik’ and disciplined lifestyle. Till 21 days, you need to light a lamp with sesame oil before retiring to bed every night. In this lamp, you have to place a big yellow shell too. Before sleeping, you have to think about Swapneshwari Devi and chant her mantra 21 times. After completing the Swapneshwari Devi Mantra, you have to chant the Manibhadra Mantra 21 times. On the last day (21^st day), you need to take out the shell and keep it closed inside a copper utensil along with some red ‘kaner’ flowers.

Whenever, you wish to know about something through dreams then before sleeping, wash your hands and feet nicely and keep the closed copper utensil beside your pillow. Then, try to bring the image of Swapneshwari Devi in your mind and pray to her. Chant the following Manibhadra Mantra and request whole-heartedly to the goddess to fulfill your wish of knowing about a particular thing in your dream. Keep repeating this in your mind till you fall asleep. 

Swapneshwari Mantra 

“Om Shreeng Swapneshwari Karya Me Vada Swaha” 

Japa Mantra 

“ Om Namo Manibhadraya Netakaya Sarvakarya Siddhaye Mama Swapna Darshanani Kuru Kuru Swaha” 

Navakar Mantra 

One of the many ways to avert the ill effects of a bad dream is to chant the Navakar Mantra. You need to chant this mantra early in the morning after the night of a bad dream. 

“ Namoarihantana Namo Siddhana Namo Aayariyana Namo Ubajajhayana Namo Loyesavavasaahun 

Eso  Pancha Namokkaro Savva Paavappanasano

Mangalana Cha Savvesni Padhamn Havaee Mangalam”  

The process of connecting with your ‘Guru’ or the realisation of your path of life through dreams 

“Kaarpanya-Doshopahat-Swabhaav:, Pricchami Twang Dharma- Sammudha Chetah

Yacchreyah Syaannishchinta Bruhi Tanme, Shishyastehang Shadhi Mang Twang Prapannam”. (Gita 2/6) 

If you wish to have a‘Guru’(religious instructor) or want to know about the right path in life, then you need to pray to Shree Krishna to fulfill your desires. Next, you have to follow any one of the following rituals to succeed in your endeavour.

1. Keep a complete fast, devoid of any kind of food, on ‘Ekadashi’ and spend the day by praying and chanting (Japa) the name of the Almighty. Sleep at night on a floor which has beem sprinkled with ‘Go may’(urine of cow).*Before you sleep, chant the mantra mentioned above, 108 times or more. If you chant this mantra devotedly, God is sure to come in your dreams and lead you to the right direction in life. If you fail to have the divine dream experience on the first ‘Ekadashi’, then you have to repeat the rituals once again.
2. Keep a fast the whole day and chant the mantra mentioned above, 1000 times in front of ‘Tulsi’ plant. You also have to maintain celibacy and pray to God devotedly. Surely, within a span of 3-4 days, through dreams or any other medium, you will come to know about the appropriate path of your life.
3. On the first ‘Ekadashi’ Of ‘Chaturmaas’, keep a fast for the whole day and chant the mantra given above for 108 times. After following the rituals 3-4 times or on the fourth ‘Ekadashi’, you will surely experience your desired dream.
4. If you chant the mentioned mantra 28,000 times for 12 days, then you will achieve ‘Mantra-Siddhi’. Once you achieve this state, then you will get the knowledge of whether an action is going to happen or not through dreams.

 You need to choose any one of these rituals and follow it religiously. If you come in contact with your ‘Guru’ in dream then accept him as one in real life too. If you receive ‘Guru-Mantra’ in your dream then acknowledge the person who has given you the mantra as your ‘Guru’ and consider yourself as ‘dikshit’ or initiated.     

The effects of dream as per ‘Tithi’ 

The results of dreams largely depend on the various ‘Tithis’ that is the ‘Krishna Paksha’ or the ‘Shukla Paksha’. Along with the result, the time in which a dream will come to effect also is based on the ‘tithi’ on which the dream is seen. According to the Jain science of Astrology, the ‘Prahar’ or the phase of the night in which a dream is experienced also plays a vital role in the effectiveness of dreams. A dream seen at the ‘Pratham Prahar’ or first phase of night that is 10pm to 12 pm comes to effect post one year. A dream that is experienced at ‘Dusre Prahar’ or the second period that is 12 pm to 2 am results within 6 months. A dream that is seen at ‘Tisre prahar’ or third period of night that is within 2am to 4 am comes to effect within a month. A dream that is seen at ‘Brahma Muhurta’ that is at the crack of dawn results within 10 days. If a dream is experienced just before sun-rise then it comes to effect very soon. 

* It is said in the Hindu scriptures that there are 33 crore gods residing in a cow. Hence , a cow is regarded extremely auspicious in every Hindu ritual.
