When a Dream Feels Too Real
Have you ever had a dream so vivid that it felt more real than reality itself?
One night, I experienced something that made me question the boundaries between dream and spirit, and it turned out to be one of the most powerful spiritual lessons of my life.
How It Began
After completing my certification as a past life regression therapist, I became more aware of the subtle realms beyond our physical world.
I had always sensed that our consciousness extends beyond this earth plane, but I rarely spoke of it. Fear of judgment kept me silent.
Then one night, everything changed.
The Dream
I found myself in what felt like a normal day in the dream. Suddenly, my soul seemed to be pulled into another place—as if someone had stolen it.
It sounds strange, maybe even funny, but in that moment it felt intensely real.
During my training, I’d learned that if something like this happens, you can call upon your guides or angels for protection.
Without hesitation, I remembered the name Archangel Michael—someone I hadn’t known much about before. But the name remained with me. I would have called upon Hanuman Ji if I were awake though. (:D)
I called out for his help, and in an instant I felt a powerful presence behind me, holding and protecting me.
Gradually, I returned to myself. I didn’t wake up immediately, but I knew I was safe, then I continued working in my dream (which I remember even now).
From Fear to Curiosity
Earlier in my life, a dream like this would have terrified me.
This time, I felt curious instead of afraid.
I wondered: Why did this happen? What do I need to learn from this dream?
Our teacher Dr Rashhi had advised us creating a protective energy bubble and asking guides to keep me from experiences I wasn’t ready for. This is a great way to protect yourself psychically.
I somehow didn’t do it and instead asked my spirit guides to take me where it has to. Maybe subconsciously I felt ready. And the next day I was quite confused about my experience so I decided to meditate upon it.
The Hidden Lesson
Meditation the next day brought a great clarity.
This dream wasn’t random. It was revealing a pattern in my subconscious—a deep fear rooted in a childhood memory of witnessing someone appear to be possessed.
The dream was simply a mirror, showing me an unresolved wound.
It was asking me to heal it by facing my fears.
Understanding the Realms
Through past life regression work, I’ve learned that our universe is layered with realms:
• Bhuvarlok: Close to the earth, where spirits with unfinished karma remain.
• Swarglok (Devlok): A higher realm where angels and guides help souls cross over.
There are more realms above and below but for better understanding of concepts like psychic protection, let’s keep it limited to these two for now.
These places are not “good” or “bad.” They simply exist, just like our physical world. And there is no need to be scared about existence of anything which a human mind can’t comprehend. Our mind allows experiences to us which it knows we will be safe for us as it is an energy of God and God is Great! :)
What This Taught Me About Spiritual Growth
Spiritual growth isn’t only about peace and light. It often tests us by bringing our deepest fears to the surface.
These experiences don’t harm us—they purify us, helping us become fearless and free.
So, do we need psychic protection?
Yes, especially when we are still healing our subconscious and we are working on our soul’s growth. But more importantly, we must listen to what these experiences are telling us about ourselves. I understood why I saw this dream and then meditation unfolded the meaning behind it.
How to Protect Your Energy
If you ever face something similar:
• Set an intention before sleep to stay protected.
• Call on your guides or a divine presence you trust—whether that’s Archangel Michael, Hanumanji, or another figure of faith.
• Reflect afterward to see what pattern or fear your mind is asking you to heal.
My Takeaway
The ultimate goal is not to stay stuck in any realm but to go inward, to find the deepest truth within. Every fear is an invitation to greater freedom.
I’ve shared the full story of this dream—and the gentle way I worked through the fear—in the youtube video.
