Video #337: How to Decode Your Dreams | Spirit Matters, Episode 30

Posted on by Yatkara

Discover how to decode your dreams and unlock their sacred, symbolic messages. For instance, you don’t need generic dream interpretation books or websites. In this episode of Spirit Matters, hosts Vajin and Abhinabha explain that the true answers lie within you. Therefore, you simply need to open the right inner doors through meditation and self-awareness. Additionally, drawing from over 25 years of practice under Sri Chinmoy, they provide practical, no-nonsense guidance for modern spiritual seekers.

Dreams are not random. Instead, they act as messengers from higher realms. As a result, they carry profound insights for growth and transformation. Moreover, the episode stresses tuning into your inner self. This allows intuitive interpretation of symbols, rather than relying on external sources. For example, combining meditation with dream recall helps you access deeper meanings. Consequently, you can apply these insights to daily life.

How to Decode Your Dreams Using Meditation

One major takeaway is how to decode your dreams through meditation. For instance, upon waking, meditate by focusing on the base of the neck or spine. This enhances recall and clarity. In addition, the technique quiets the mind. Therefore, symbolic language emerges naturally.

The hosts explain that dreams use metaphors from various planes—mental, vital, or psychic. Meditation, however, serves as the key to objective deciphering. They also share personal stories. For example, Abhinabha recalls a powerful “big dream” with Sri Chinmoy. This resolved inner suffering and strengthened his spiritual commitment. Similarly, Vajin describes recurring dreams with a crocodile. It symbolized unchecked lower forces. As a result, this led to better integration of body, vital, mind, heart, and soul.

What Are ‘Big Dreams’ and How Can They Change Your Life?

Big dreams are rare and transformative. Unlike ordinary ones, they go beyond daily processing. For instance, they reveal profound truths and can shift your life direction. Moreover, these dreams carry archetypal or soul-level messages. They are often predictive, compensatory, or healing.

The hosts explore viewing dreams through multiple lenses: objective (external events), subjective (personal symbols), and archetypal (universal patterns). Additionally, they address nightmares. These illuminate unintegrated darkness. However, you can prevent them with protective practices, such as pre-bed meditation on the navel chakra.

Maintaining Inspiration After a Meditation Retreat

The episode also covers sustaining inspiration after retreats – a common challenge. For example, create distraction-free routines, like no phones in the bedroom. In addition, build community accountability. Moreover, commit to consistent short daily meditations instead of sporadic long ones.

Retreat highs often fade without integration. Therefore, aspiration – the inner burning desire for growth – keeps the flame alive. This episode blends Sri Chinmoy’s ancient wisdom with modern life. It covers dream origins from higher realms, the soul’s protective role, and using dreams for personal evolution.

Posted on by Yatkara

Enjoy this complete concert by Pavaka’s Group. It was recorded live during their Balkan Tour 2025. The event took place on 28 October 2025 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria – the second stop on their five-city journey.

A Sacred Space Across Centuries

The venue sits on the site of a 4th-century basilica. Today, a modern building protects its beautiful ancient mosaics. This timeless atmosphere perfectly matched the meditative music.

The Musicians

Pavaka’s Group brings together devoted players from Canada, Serbia, Austria and other countries. In Plovdiv, the lineup was (left to right): Natabara, Parichayaka, Pavaka, Ilija and Caslav. They played gentle guitars, flowing bass, soft percussion and harmonious voices.

The Melodies: A Journey of the Soul

Each piece gently invites the soul inward, with poetic subtitles that evoke their deeper spiritual essence:

  • Kalpana
  • Dao More Prabhu
  • Akarane Prabhu
  • Dur Asimer
  • Ekla Chalar
  • Chanting of AUM
  • Everest Aspiration
  • In Search of Light & Nachte Habe Alor Deshe
  • Nil Baridhir

In keeping with tradition, the audience held silence throughout, offering applause only at the close — a shared stillness that let the music touch deeper layers of the heart. Musicians, technicians, and hosts volunteered freely; the concert was a loving gift from the local Sri Chinmoy Meditation Centre.

Sri Chinmoy on the Power of Soulful Music

Sri Chinmoy expressed this magic so simply yet profoundly:

When we listen to soulful music, or when we ourselves play soulful music, immediately our inner existence climbs up high, higher, highest… Soulful music is the music that wants to eventually transform our consciousness. It carries us into the Universal Consciousness and makes us feel that we are in tune with the highest, with the deepest, with the farthest.

– Sri Chinmoy. God the Supreme Musician (1976)

Find a quiet moment and let these melodies carry you gently home to your own inner light.
