I am not sure, how many of you experienced continuity in your dreams, but I recently experienced one. I had a dream where me and my friend are discussing about various movie stories, while we were on our way home from school. This was a time, where we were preparing for our boards and we used to have study hours during the evening every day in our school. Most of the times, we used to sit outside on the ground and read. Whenever we feel bored, we used to watch the moving clouds in the sky and interpret its shapes to real life objects.
One day while we were taking our bicycles from school, we experienced a weird thing. The weather was cool and we could feel the cool breeze. It’s not an everyday thing which we experience in the month of March in Peddapally, a village in India. We were late to dinner that day and we were the last to leave school that evening. While we are about to leave, we saw a small tornado forming on our ground and it was getting bigger and bigger as it approached us. Me and my friend was standing their looking at the giant tornado heading towards us, with our bicycles in our hands.
Soon, we were trapped into the tornado and we saw that we were surrounded by the wind around us, where we see waste papers, wrappers and other stuff moving around us. After rubbing our eyes, we slowly looked above at the sky. We saw a giant human like figure formed by the clouds. It was so huge and it looked like a human holding the moon in its hand. We were in a dilemma and started staring at each other. After looking closely for a while, I uttered slowly that its “Chandrasena”. My friend could not understand what I have just said and asked me again. I just looked and yelled at him that its “Chandrasena”. With that I woke up from my dream. This dream hovered in my mind for a while, and all this happened a couple of months ago.
Yesterday, I woke up around 8am in the morning. Realizing that it’s a weekend, I wrapped myself in sheets again. After a while I fell asleep again and, in my dreams, I saw myself going back to home from work. I took my bike and started my journey. It was a sunny day and suddenly clouds started covering the sky. I picked up the speed to reach home early to avoid any rain. I entered a road less crowded and got onto a flyover. As I was moving forward, I saw a tornado approaching me. I stopped my bike and just like in my past dream, I was trapped inside that tornado. Out of curiosity, I removed my helmet and saw above. I see huge clouds forming shape a human who is carrying a moon in his hands and then suddenly I was teleport into my past dream where I saw him earlier. I recognized that’s him “Chandrasena”. The dream was so real, and it felt like am seeing my past through its mighty eyes. Then suddenly, I was back to reality and woke up.
To be honest, am not sure why in my past dream I named him as “Chandrasena” and why it showed up again. I wish I can draw and show how the experience was but am not so talented at it. I might have come across the name through stories I heard or read. I usually get many dreams, and this was one among the many, which I felt like sharing. Hope you all like it.
Out of curiosity, I searched the meaning of the name “Chandrasena”. Out of the several results, I found an interesting one which says “Chandrasena” is the name of a mind-born ‘divine mother’, created for the purpose of drinking the blood of the Andhaka demons, according to the Matsya-purāṇa 179.8. Interesting, right?? I may create a fictional story around this character in future but for the time being, if you would like to get into my dream world, please do let me know in comments. If you also have any similar connecting dreams, please drop me a mail or comments below. I will share the interesting ones over here.
