Another excellent post Davidya.
Dreams within dreams within dreams, deep stuff. And you have a gift for explaining and clarifying. Much appreciated.

Hi Evelyn. Some suggest you read the book a page or 2 at a time as it’s quite dense. And large. Its basically a discourse between a sage and Rama, who has fallen into dispassion and seen through the illusion of the world. In other words, he is close to awakening and the sage seeks to clarify his understanding so he can release his mind. I talk about the book a little more in Self Effort, linked above.

As for dreams within dreams, you may enjoy posts on the process of awakening where i describe the 3 dreams we awaken from. It is the same way – the dream of the individual, the universe, and creation.

On first reading, this post is pretty heavy stuff for me. But come to think of it…I recall vaguely this story too. So it’s nice that you are explaining it here.

“Dreams within dreams within dreams.” How profound! I’m going to bookmark this book for my reading list. Thanks for the recommendation!!
