Did I See Baby Shiva in a Dream?
Last night during non-waking hours I had a vision of a very bluish baby floating/transiting through a blank white space. Regrettably I don’t remember many details. At the time I definitely thought “Shiva”——as a chubby little ball of a baby, about 1 year old with stubby little arms and legs, sitting up like when a baby first learns to sit. The baby was going forward, at about 30 degree upward angle, through blank white space. I did not see the face. What I did notice was it carried a sprig of white flowers. The blue was not a smoky blue but a brighter blue. I was calmly amazed as I watched this in total silence. It seems related to my years of yoga and deity worship and also to my recent meditations on emptiness. Do the inSelf yogis have any impressions or interpretations? Could I have mistaken a trident for the flower? Baby Krishna is also bluish, however I feel more comfortable leaning into my original impressions than my speculations after the fact.

Both Deities, Shiva and Krishna use blue colored bodies. There are narrations of each in infant appearance as well.
This flower below is chameli, a species of jasmine which is affiliated to Krishna.
Try to review again in meditation, as to what happened. See if it was not a response like this:
Shiva?
With a question mark, where there was an intuition which queried to verify if the child was Shiva?
Then if that is a fact, meditate to see if the deity provided an answer.
