The Mother’s Comment

One can learn much by observing one's dreams.

Spiritual Message by the Mother/ Quotes by Sri Aurobindo

If one learns how to interpret, one can get from dreams much knowledge of the secrets of our nature and of other-nature.

Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - IV: Dreams

Yes, certainly, dream-experiences can have a great value in them and convey truths that are not so easy to get in the waking state.

Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - IV: Dreams

When you practise Yoga, the consciousness opens and you become aware—especially in sleep—of things, scenes, beings, happenings of other (not physical) worlds and yourself in sleep go there and act there. Very often these things have an importance for the sadhana. So you need not regret seeing all this when you sleep or meditate.

Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - IV: Dreams
