Last night I dreamt I walked in a foreign city at night. I was lost and encountered people on the streets, some good, some bad. When the bad ones appeared I silently chanted Amitabha Buddha, which calmed me.
In my younger years I resisted and feared the demons who appeared in my dreams. If they attacked, I counterattacked. Upon learning new spiritual principles, if I could successfully practice wisdom in a dream, I then became more confident in navigating risky scenarios in the material realm.
The dream manifestation of Amitabha Buddha encouraged me to practice the meditation called "Following One's Inclinations," and upon leaving bed I bowed forty eight times to Amitabha Buddha, and seven times each to the Bodhisatva Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisatva Mahasthamaprapta, and the Ocean-Wide Assembly.
