Dreams arise from internal restlessness and a deep subconscious desire; there is nothing wrong with that. But if that desire is not understood properly, you'll end up chasing the wrong objects, assuming that the objects of your dreams are all that you want. So, don't take your dreams at face value. Go deep and see what your heart really longs for. A hint: dreams can guide you, but only if you read them properly.

Questioner: Sir, what are dreams?
Acharya Prashant: All dreams are about something that is not there, or at least does not appear to be there, but the mind has an urge for it to be there.
“It is not there and I want it.”
Or, “I do not see it. I do not know whether it is there or not, but at least I do not see it, and I want it.” That is what I call as a ‘dream’.
We all have that urge, we all miss something. And what we miss, we want to get. So this much is common to every human being – there is something that one misses, there is a hollow, there is a gap, there is a need, a kind of vacancy waiting to be filled. But after this point, the commonality amongst all human beings stops.
