(Minghui.org) I became a Falun Dafa practitioner when I was 14 years old. In my 20 years of cultivation, even though I have never seen anything in other dimensions, I've had vivid dreams that enlightened me and helped me remain diligent.
I recently had three dreams, one after another. My understanding is that these dreams were telling me that time is running out for our cultivation. I want to share them with other practitioners, so that we may improve together.
In my first dream Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, came back to mainland China. Master was giving a lecture in an auditorium. He wore a white dress shirt, and looked just as he did in the Fa-Teaching Given to the Australian Practitioners video recording.
I was among many practitioners in the auditorium. Master Li came down from the stage. He stood next to me, while talking to another practitioner. My head hung low, and I was afraid to look Master in the eyes. I had been slacking off in cultivation these years due to family obligation and a busy work schedule. I was embarrassed to talk to Master. In my heart, I was quite excited to finally see Master in person for the first time. He was standing right next to me.
The sensation of Master’s presence lingered after I woke up; it will never go away.
In my second dream I was looking out my window. A large white cloud appeared. It was the kind of cloud that gods and deities stand on as they descend from heaven in mythological books such as Journey to the West.
Four celestial maidens were on this cloud. They looked just like the pictures in Hong Yin. Their skin was exquisite, like Master described in his teaching. No one on earth has skin nearly as fine as theirs. Almost translucent, but not transparent. No words can describe their beauty and purity.
I called my mother to come and look at them. My mother is also a practitioner. She saw them too. I called to my daughter. She is not yet a practitioner, but understands Dafa's principles. As my daughter was walking over, the cloud began to disappear and the celestial maidens faded. By the time my daughter came to the window, the entire scene had vanished.
I sighed, as only predestined people can see such a magnificent sight!
In the third dream I was at my mother-in-law’s funeral. Many people were there preparing the ceremony. Suddenly, a huge stage appeared in the sky. The scenery on the stage was green mountains and flowing streams. Next, a few rows of characters in small seal script (an ancient style of writing Chinese characters) rolled in from the left side of the stage. I immediately thought about the Fa being taught in the human world. Then Falun Dafa practitioners wearing yellow shirts and pants appeared on the right side of the stage. They played out a scene of how the teaching of Falun Dafa started and progressed. After that, scenes of practitioners being brutally persecuted emerged.
I shouted with excitement: “Everyone come to take a look! The truth about Falun Dafa is showing here...it's all here, come quickly.” Many people gathered around me and looked up at the sky.
As images of Falun Dafa practitioners went away, a huge oval shaped pit came into view. The pit was deep and filled with an orange colored oily liquid. Bodies came out of nowhere and dropped into the pit. They screamed for mercy. Blood splattered. I explained to others that those people did bad deeds, so they were dropped into the hot oil as a punishment in hell.
I woke up as the image disappeared.
I do not believe these three dreams were ordinary dreams. They were my experiences in other dimensions. These vivid experiences are still fresh in my mind.
My understanding is that these dreams were telling us that there is not much time left for cultivation. What I saw in my dreams might happen soon, probably everything will be finished before we know it. Everyone has chosen a position. At this time, there will be no more chances in cultivation. It is what it is.
Looking at myself, I have been busy every day with ordinary affairs and left little time for doing the exercises and studying the Fa. Even though I constantly remind myself to act according to the Fa, I was still slacking off overall. When I had spare time, I wasted it on things other than studying the Fa and doing the exercises.
The purpose of writing this article is to encourage fellow practitioners and myself to pick up our cultivation pace. Time does not wait for us, especially practitioners in my age group, who may be busy taking care of household chores, children, and elderly parents, while working full time. Furthermore, temptation from digital devices and smartphones are hard to resist. We could miss our destiny and the fruits of our cultivation.
This is the moment we have been waiting for after tens of thousands of years of reincarnation. We must stay diligent and complete our cultivation journey until the end.
This is my own understanding, please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
