Questioner: Pujyashree, do we have to do Pratikraman for mistakes committed in our
dreams?
Pujyashree: Of course! Even in dreams, things occur exactly as they do in real life. So
Dadashri has suggested doing Pratikraman thereof. People may say that though I have
hit him in my dream, he is not really hurt!! Dadashri explains: “You were violent with
him, you got annoyed, you had abhorrence towards him hence you should do
Pratikraman for all these. All these emotions and actions are of such light category that
they get discharged during dreams. Emotions of heavy category get discharged as
thoughts. Still heavier emotions get discharged through speech; yet more heavy get
discharged as actions. Just as stones will sink and small particles will float on
water, similarly, there are different categories of mistakes:
sticky, light, very light and absolutely light which get
discharged through dreams. But only those
'Karmas' get discharged which had been
charged in previous life. Therefore, you must
do Pratikraman for mistakes committed
even in dreams!
