Water

• To dream of clear water, foretells that you will joyfully realize prosperity and pleasure.
• If the water is muddy, you will be in danger and gloom will occupy Pleasure's seat.
• If you see it rise up in your house, denotes that you will struggle to resist evil, but unless you see it subside, you will succumb to dangerous influences.
• If you find yourself baling it out, but with feet growing wet, foreshadows trouble, sickness, and misery will work you a hard task, but you will forestall them by your watchfulness. The same may be applied to muddy water rising in vessels.
• To fall into muddy water, is a sign that you will make many bitter mistakes, and will suffer poignant grief therefrom.
• To drink muddy water, portends sickness, but drinking it clear and refreshing brings favorable consummation of fair hopes.
• To sport with water, denotes a sudden awakening to love and passion.
• To have it sprayed on your head, denotes that your passionate awakening to love will meet reciprocal consummation.
• The following dream and its allegorical occurrence in actual life is related by a young woman student of dreams:
• "Without knowing how, I was (in my dream) on a boat, I waded through clear blue water to a wharfboat, which I found to be snow white, but rough and splintry. The next evening I had a delightful male caller, but he remained beyond the time prescribed by mothers and I was severely censured for it.'' The blue water and fairy white boat were the disappointing prospects in the symbol.

Lila - divine sportive pastimes. Sri Bhagavan’s activities, whether in the matter of the creation of the material world or in the matter of transcendental exchanges of love with His bhaktas, are never under the influence of karma or material nature. They are all manifestations of His self-willed potencies and are therefore known as lila, divine sport or play. These pastimes are heard, described, and meditated upon by bhaktas as part of the practice of sadhana-bhakti.

Examination : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Poor Test or Other Performance

Poor Test or Other Performance

Definition: You dream of anxiety-filled activity related to taking an examination in school, or of being tested in some way. There are several versions of this nightmare. You may arrive at the room to find the test has already begun; you may not be able to find the right room; you may be handed the test and realize that you do not know the answers or have never even read the books upon which the test is based. You may not have time to finish. In any case, you are uncertain you are able to pass or to graduate. In another version of the same theme, you may be due to perform in a play, musical, sport, or other event and, as you begin, realize you have forgotten the lines, do not know the part, do not recognize the material or don't know what to do.

Examples:

• I'm handed the exam and glance at the questions. I realize with horror that I don't know any of the answers. I never read the books for this test.
• I'm standing on the stage in my costume. Suddenly I can't remember any of my lines. Am I in the wrong play?

Many persons regard the opposition of the learned world as constituting, if not a proof, at least a very strong presumption, of the falsity of Spiritism. We are not of those who affect indifference in regard to the judgement of scientific men; on the contrary, we hold them in great esteem; and should think it an honour to be of their number, but we cannot consider their opinion as being, under all circumstances, necessarily and absolutely conclusive.

From "The Spirits book" By Allan Karde (1804-1869.

“The Purusha has only two abodes, this and the next world. The dream state, which is the third is at the junction of the two. Abiding at the junction he sees the two abodes, this and the next world. In proportion the endeavour with which one is striving to obtain the place of the other world does he accordingly see both suffering and bliss. When he dreams he takes away a little of the impressions of this world which consists of all elements (the waking state), himself puts the body aside and himself creates a dream body in its place, revealing his own splendour by his own light and dreams. In this state the Purusha himself becomes unmingled light.” (Bri. Up. IV.iii.9.)

A spiritual view on dreams and the meaning of dreams by Sri Swami Sivananda, an authority in the vedic sciences and traditions.

When man becomes disgusted with the world around him through miseries, sorrows, disappointments, failures, loss of property, diseases, and death of dearest relatives, he thinks that he would go to some place where there would be all happiness for ever without any misery or pain, where he would live with his forefathers with a perfect body. So he creates heaven or Svarga. How can there be eternal happiness in a finite plane conditioned in time and space?

This is an excerpt from the book What Becomes Of The Soul After Death by Sri Swami Sivananda.

Players attempt to use figures mounted on rotating bars to kick the ball into the opponent's goal. A ball may travel at speeds up to 75 mph in competition. Most of the time it is hard to even see the ball, it is more of a blur. The sport/game/simulation requires quick reflexes with a delicate touch using the player's fine tuned motor skills, control and knowledge. The basics include 'passing' the ball, where you have the ball in your possession with one bar, and pass it to another bar, and 'shooting', where you find ...

The yumi (Japanese bow) is exceptionally tall (standing over two meters), surpassing the height of the archer (kyudoka). Yumi are traditionally made of bamboo, wood and leather using techniques which have not changed for centuries, although some archers (particularly, those new to the art) may use synthetic (i.e. laminated wood coated with glassfiber or carbon fiber) yumi. Even advanced kyudoka may own non-bamboo yumi and ya due to the vulnerability ...

There are a variety of different rule systems to define play. The following general guidelines are common to most, if not all: At the opening kickoff, all 11 pieces are relegated to their respective sides. Field players are moved during the game by using a circular disk to exert a downward force on the field pieces, propelling them forward (pieces may never be pushed with the disk). Field pieces are propelled forward to strike the game ball. The ball is either sent forward and then hit again with the same field piece the next play (i. ...
