When I was pondering too much about moksh, I just fell asleep, I saw a dream of my soul reaching anuttar viman and above just about to touch siddh shila, I immediately woke up . What does this mean
In Jain dharma, such a dream is understood more as a signal about your inner bhavna (deep feeling) than as a fixed prediction of the future.
A few points, in very simple language:
- Why anuttar viman and Siddh Shila in your dream?
- Anuttar viman are the highest heavenly abodes just below Siddh Shila. - Siddh Shila is the place of liberated souls (Siddhas) at the very top of the universe. - Thinking intensely about moksh, your chitta (inner mind) naturally created a picture of the highest possible spiritual state – so it used these Jain images you know.
- “Almost touching Siddh Shila” and then waking up
- In Jain view, this can reflect: - Your strong attraction towards moksh (you are looking “upwards”). - At the same time, it shows that karmic bondage is still there – hence “almost” reaching and then coming back (waking). - Spiritually, it’s like a gentle reminder: “The direction is right, now strengthen effort (purusharth).”
- Is it a sign that you will surely get moksh soon?
- Jain tattva is very clear: moksh depends only on real inner transformation – samyak darshan, samyak jnan, samyak charitra – not on dreams alone. - So we cannot say: “This dream guarantees moksh in this life or next.” - But we can say: you have uttam bhav (noble feelings) towards moksh, and that is very precious.
- How to take this dream in a Jain way
- Do not over‑attach to the dream itself. Instead, use it as inspiration: - Strengthen nissangta / vairagya (detachment from worldly things). - Increase swadhyay (study of Jain tattva), samayik, pratikraman, and ahimsa in daily life. - Keep regular smaran of Siddha, Arihant, and Siddh Shila with humility: “They reached; I also wish to walk that path step by step.”
- If the dream gave you shanti or joy
- Then accept it as a shubh adhyavasay (auspicious inner tendency). - Offer kritisnyata (gratitude) internally and pray: “May my thoughts, speech and actions become such that one day I truly deserve Siddh-avastha.”
You are already thinking deeply about moksh; in Jain dharma, that itself is considered very high punya and right direction. Now the main thing is to convert that feeling into consistent daily practice and inner purity.
