Sri Aurobindo — Kamala Amin

March 17, 1935

Mother,

I saw the following dream.

There was a big building amongst many trees of “Realisation”. When I was wandering among them, Hiren saw me and he lifted me with his arms, so I reached the top of the “Realisation” trees. He asked me to collect as many flowers as possible. Saying so, he took me to four or five trees. I plucked flowers with child-like joy. When I saw this dream, I felt as if I was seven years old.

Does it have any meaning?

It was probably some force lifting your psychic being (the child) so that it could arrive at some realisations. The figure of Hiren in the dream was probably only a mental figure representing the Force – it was not Hiren himself. The mind often brings in familiar figures in this way.
