The image of cow in dream
To see the image of a cow or bull in the dream indicates well-being and good health. The image of sucking the udder of a cow is considered to be a dream of the highest quality. To dream of the image of a calf in the house or to see riding an ox or bull in the dream or to see that you are savouring a bowl of rice pudding made of clarified butter (ghee) in the middle of a lake are all considered auspicious. Likewise, to see a dream where a person is drinking milk which has been milked fresh and is frothy indicates happiness in life. The image of curd in a dream also symbolizes joy and pleasure in future life.
To dream yourself riding alone on a chariot and to wake up immediately after seeing this image indicates financial gain in near future. To receive curd in dream indicates wealth; to get clarified butter or to eat curd symbolizes prosperity in life. Similarly, before commencing a journey, it is an auspicious sign to see milk or curd. If you dream that you are eating curd rice then you are sure to get success in your works. To mount an ox in the dream indicates materialistic gains and a healthy body. The image of a cow or bull in the dream means a growth in the number of your relations. To see black objects in the dream is not a good sign but to see the image of the black cow of Lord Krishna is considered to be one of the best dream images.
Dream signs (Swapna Shakun)
When you dream, your inner mind is free from the bondage of the physical body; the effect of your nature or perception cannot keep a check on it but can only influence it. This is the time when the inner mind can connect with the finest signs given by nature. Dreams not only indicate about happenings but also have many other significant purposes. The dreams that are forgotten after waking up are nothing but a figment of your imagination. Those that remain in the memory indicate your physical needs and the situations that you experience. For instance, if you are thirsty then in your dream you make an effort to search for water. Likewise, if you dream that you are flying in the sky or eating food then in reality it means that the air element in your body is imbalanced or you are suffering from indigestion. An imbalance of kafh and pitta elements in the body causes images of fire and water in the dream.
Just as dream indicates physical disturbances similarly it is also a mirror to mental sufferings. If you give attention to the kind of work you do in your dream, then you might feel that there is a hidden indication for your professional choice too. For instance, a person who is engaged in literary pursuits in reality but experiences a dream where he does mathematical calculations is an indication that he will achieve extraordinary success if he chooses the field of mathematics as his profession. Dreams can also reveal the cause of your anxiety, fear and other mental troubles. Dreams have been the subject of extensive research both for the Western and Indian dream analysts. However, it is still not very easy to interpret the meaning of a dream. Generally, dreams seen in between 3.30 am to 5.30 am early in the morning (which is considered the ‘Brahma Muhurta’ according to Hinduism) after which the dreamer wakes up, is a significant dream. If a person dreams of an image recurrently, then it needs attention. Before assessing a dream, you need to see if they are influenced by your physical or mental conditions in any way.
During a dream, you are in a state of ‘bhav loka’ and so it is easier to communicate with God and receive His messages. Though there are instances where deserving people have experienced Godly presence in their dreams, yet it is not an easy job to remember the experience vividly in the conscious state. Therefore, in most cases, dreams seem to be nothing but illusions to people. It is advised that if the command of a dream is against your beliefs and religious values then it should be totally ignored.
