Krishna was an incarnation of God. God in human form. An Avatar. Avatars do not make human mistakes. They are entirely beyond that realm. If we try to interpret their actions through human eyes, we are always going to fall short in understanding their actions.

Understanding is an idea of mind. But real understanding is a connection through the heart. Then we truly understand.

God is one. Hinduism is monotheistic, not polytheistic. Mahatma Gandhi wrote to that point. The Hindu cosmology is basically the beings that other cultures call archangels. And then, also into the lower angels. And, somewhat confusingly, the cosmology also refers to God Himself in many different aspect. So, Shiva is not an archangel. Shiva is a name for an aspect of God. Vishnu and Brahma are also names for God Himself. Vishnu as the Preserver or the lover of creation. Brahma as the Creator.

Paramahansa Yogananda wrote about astrological influences upon us. The easiest way to deal with all these forces is simply by our daily spiritual practices.

God owns all and controls all. No astrological force can affect us, if we are obedient to God. God holds all the power and can easily nullify whatever these forces might present to us.

So, it goes back to our daily devotion, and, of course, the entirety of our spiritual lives.

If we want to ruin our karma and have horrible karmic influences on our life…by all means lie, cheat, steal and abuse others endlessly. If we want the opposite, we have to work hard to become the very best people we can be.

after I finished my post, I did have one other thought.

Ghosts are really not all that common, but they do exist.

So, there is a chance this is related to a ghost.

Ghosts do not like purity.

So, if you keep fresh flowers around and burn incense, it can help to dispel a ghost.

Also, you can place a spiritual blessing at the portals (doorways) of your house. The Jewish people use mezuzahs, the Chinese people do Feng Shui practice, the Christians use gargoyles at churches. You can just write a prayer and put it at the doorway entrances. Or a name of God. If you do and have faith in the power of the object…it can dispel negative forces.

Never be afraid of ghosts. They are just another “resident” of the inner world. You can think of them like bugs or cockroaches. They are hardly all powerful. You put out some bug spray… and they leave. Prayers, incense, flowers, charms…all these things will help dispel a ghost.

The last thing is the karma of why the ghost is there. And that would go to daily spiritual disciplines.

Best of luck, take care.

Sorry about your difficulties. Every interaction we have can be affected by and improved by prayer. So, if there are problems, don’t forget to pray about the issue.

One thing you can do regarding dreams…if you can become conscious of the dream, while in the dream, you can affect the dream.

So, while in the dream, start to pray to God. Or, in the dream, chant a name of God.

When I do this during a nightmare, I will usually bounce out of the nightmare and wake up.

You can also, while in the dream, imagine a saint with you. So, if you have devotion to Krishna, imagine Krishna with you.

As far as your past is concerned? Spiritual visions can come through during dreams. However, most dreams are not that. Most dreams are just our emotional life being dealt with during sleep. So, if we are generally worried, we might get chased in a dream. But being chased is just a kind of mental image of worry itself. And, our soul comes forward during sleep and purifies us. So, a dream can be our mental image during the process in which our soul purifies us.

However, repetitive dreams are not usually that.

So, yes, they can be something quite a bit deeper. And they can, in fact, be related to past lives. As far as killing is concerned, it could be many things. It does not mean you killed someone in a past life. You could have witnessed a death. You could have been, yourself, killed in a past life.

There are various things.

General spiritual disciplines can help with this.

And that would include prayers for forgiveness.

Here on earth we all make mistakes. We should always pray for forgiveness. Not so much that we constantly feel guilty, but periodically, we should ask God for forgiveness.

If you have some past karma, these prayers can help with that.

Another completely different possibility is a medical problem. You might have a medical problem and your soul is warning you through a dream.

So, sleep apnea might be an issue. Blood sugar also. Blood sugar problems while asleep can be dangerous. Or it could be other medical problems.

So, never hurts to stay current with your medical check-ups.

If you are cleared for any medical problems…emotionally, you can try to diminish the thoughts about it. Just refuse to dwell on it. Every time the thought about these experiences arise in your mind, do some silently chanting and just move your mind to another thought.

Don’t let this thought have power. Diminish it, rather than dwell on it.

Lastly, if you have been sleeping in the same place, you might want to check your environment for problems. So, maybe you have a faulty furnace and your carbon monoxide levels are too high in the home. And again, your soul is giving you a warning through dreams.

So, you might want to check into mold, radon, and other environmental problems in the area in which you sleep.

best of luck, take care.
