Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume III - Part 2

When the water is symbolic [it is a plane of consciousness] and here it is a big expanse of water – but a river or a pond are not large enough to symbolise a plane. It may be an actual experience in another world – or it may be the symbol of a particular movement in the sadhana.

It is not from dreams that you can know what plane of consciousness you are living in; it is by an observation of your condition.
