Why am I getting many odd dreams including those of snakes, and Lord Shiva and Paarvati, for the past few months?

[Shri Mattapalli Bharat asked: Swamiji, I do not know how to start this, so let me come to the point. I do not know how You will take this, but seriously, I am literally getting confused with how to deal with it. For the past 3 months, I have been having numerous dreams. I will describe them and I request You to explain why I am having such dreams. In the beginning, I would repeatedly see dreams about snakes and cobras. After a few days they stopped. Later, I had a dream of a devil who had held my uncle’s neck in a tight grip, after which the dream suddenly ended. On the same day, in continuation with that dream, I had another dream about a Lord Śiva and Pārvatī, who came riding a motor bike to my grandmother’s home. The entire dream took place near my grandmother’s home.

Next, I had Lord Balaji’s darśanam on the sacred Tirumala hill. I woke up suddenly from the dream and prayed to Lord Balaji in my mind. A few days later, on the Tirumula hill, I saw the idol of Lord Ayyappa Swami and the gopuram of Lord Balaji side-by-side and I prayed to them. Yesterday again, I dreamt of snakes. I saw two old snakes lying on the road facing me. As my friend and I were passing them along the road, I was chanting “Oṃ namaḥ Śivāya! Oṃ namaḥ Śivāya…!” I passed the first snake, but the second snake flew in the air and touched my forehead. I am sure it did not bite, but I strongly felt its touch on my forehead as I continued chanting “Oṃ namaḥ Śivāya! Oṃ namaḥ Śivāya…!”. Even now, while writing this, I can feel the snake’s touch on my forehead, exactly in the middle. I have tried to explain my dreams briefly although it is really difficult to explain. Could You please tell me, why I am having these dreams?]

Swami replied: When a soul is travelling with one leg placed in the boat of materialism and the other in the boat of spirituality, the soul gets such mixed dreams of worldly affairs and devotion. You need not worry much about these dreams. Instead, you must concentrate on God. Worship God Subrahmaṇya and God Hanumān. You will get rid of the tension caused by the dreams. You will get some relief from Dasara onwards, which is the festival of the Divine Mother.
