Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

SABCL 26

Fragment ID: 8012

Q: For the last few days I am having frequent dreams of eating. Does it indicate greed for food or a need in the body or is it a sign of coming illness as they believe in the villages?

A: I don’t think so – it is probably old impressions from the subconscient material (not vital – therefore a memory rather than desire) rising up in sleep. I remember a time when I was always seeing dishes of food even though I did not care a hang about food at that time.
