Dear Master, what should we do if we dream about someone close to us, and the dream seems to contain a spiritual reminder for that person? We fear that hearing about it might upset them or provoke a reaction, especially since they unfortunately tend to feel superior to others. Are we required to tell them about the dream, or do we have no obligation to do so?
If you have a true dream about someone, you should respond appropriately in light of its interpretation. Sometimes a dream is simply meant to offer a lesson or convey information, and need not necessarily be shared. The person who had the dream should consider its interpretation carefully and decide whether it needs to be told.
If someone dreams about another person, and we assume the dream is true, several possibilities may be considered:
1. It may offer insight into that person, helping the dreamer manage their relationship with them and make decisions.
2. It may prompt reflection and foresight concerning that person’s past, present or future circumstances.
3. The dreamer may simply serve as a messenger, conveying a message.
4. It may be a warning to others.
5. The person in the dream may serve only as an example of others like them.
6. There may be other reasons.
The person who had the dream should take appropriate action, informed by an understanding of its interpretation and meaning, and by careful attention to its finer points.
