Dreaming of the stars

During meditation the image has flashed up before for a brief second then disappeared. Since then over the last few weeks I’ve been having dreams where I’m looking into the night sky directly into Pleiades ("seven sisters") star cluster. Sometimes the stars within the cluster turn a reddish colour. Last night whilst dreaming, lines from star to star formed like a “connect the dots puzzle”. Again during a meditation I saw just one star appear and move across my vision. It appeared a few times during the same meditation. This star was not stationery but moving from right to left. It was like a pin hole on a pure black background It disappeared when I focussed my attention on it.
One more interesting thing which again happened during last night’s dream was that I was able to look at a random star in the sky and make it explode by focussing on it. I done it once then said to a friend to pick a star and I would focus on it and blow it up. I was sure to pick a small star and again was able to make it explode. At this, I was left with a sense of fear and hoped that I didn’t cause any problems by destroying the star and said to myself that I mustn’t do it again.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Why worry about some little guy whose existence on a star can be terminated by your mental focus? The guy is in a sorry position anyway, if that is his lot, and he won’t know what hit him anyway. He has no idea that on earth, there is some deity named Darren who while dreaming, can wipe out his hopes and dreams. Better to think about yourself, as to whether there is somebody out there somewhere, who can finish you up while he or she is dreaming. In the book Worm Ouroboros, the heroes of the story were once summarily called to another star system where the deity was residing. After they got there, they were shown that the world they were living on was just a figment of the deity’s imagination and the deity in that case happen to be female. After staying there for some time, those heroes (I think there were 3 of them) asked the deity to please create that old world again along with its villains as well. And this she did and they found themselves again in the old world reliving all their past experiences. Who cares about some puny guys in some place whose existence is reliant on mine or your mental power. The urgency for us is to consider our situation, regarding if somebody somewhere has really got this world in the palm of his hand or in the ideas in his imagination. There is a story in the Srimad Bhagavatam, where a certain creator deity confiscated and suspended the existence of some boys and calves for one year. During that year those entities were for all practical purposes non-existent and then they again became existent, but without any understanding of what happened. These boys were friends of Krishna. When they disappeared, Krishna reproduced himself into forms exactly like those boys and went back to the village of Vrindavan. When they got there, the mothers of the non-existent boys found themselves to be super-fond of the Krishna-reproduced boys. And only one person realized that the original boys were missing. Krishna’s brother, Balarama immediately realized that the new boys were different and that they were Krishna using the social identity of the boy. He questioned Krishna about it and was told that a deity had confiscated the existence of the original lads. Being God is not a sentimental thing. It is a serious responsibility. And there are always people crying on your shoulder and many of them won’t even believe that you exist. So have fun with it, but keep the responsibility aspect before you. One valuable thing to cull from that star bursting experience is this. Right now the astronomers are finding more and more, millions of stars which are either coming into existence, or going out of existence. They cannot even count the galaxies out there, what to speak of counting the number of cooled planets like the earth. So many people don’t believe in God or gods, in Deity or deity. But if you can cause a star anywhere, even in a dreamy astral dimension to burst, it suggest that there might be people out there, real powerful people who can destroy even some of the physical stars and suns which we can physically perceive.

Always make an effort to determine the type of perception being used. A physical star is a physical star and nothing more or less, but an astral star is not a physical star, no more than the astral body is the physical body. The astral form is a radical departure from the physical body, and so are astral objects which are counterparts to physical objects. In dream existences, one uses the astral body. The challenge is to know which level of reality your astral body is synchronized with. The star that moved from right to left, which was like a pin hole on a pure black background, is the famous star which was described as a meditation focus by yogis like Paramhansa Yogananda. This is a dimensional gateway star, which is to say that if you could experience it in its stable condition, you would use it to peer into, enter in and enter out of other dimensions and this dimension. In my experience, this star moves on its own accord, or so it seems. In fact the more you pursue it when it appears the faster it will disappear. When eyes are closed, this star may appear suddenly as a tiny pin-point star. Then as soon as one tries to focus on it, it quickly disappears. To develop a decent relationship with this star, retreat to the right backside of the head, while remaining extremely silent, when the star appears do not pursue nor apply a strong focus towards it. If you do so it will usually disappear which means that your subtle energy dropped to a lower level out of range of the star.
