Q. Is there any means of keeping away an undesirable dream?
A. There are a thousand ways of keeping away an undesirable dream, but if it is a warning, then it will be very difficult to keep it away, or, if one particular dream is kept away, another unpleasant dream will come. The first thing that happens in the spiritual development of a person is that his dreams change.

1. He dreams a thing, and the contrary happens.
2. Then he dreams a thing, and that thing happens exactly as he dreamt it.
3. Then God gives him warning in pictures, just as the first writings were picture-writings.
4. Then, when his soul discloses more, he hears a voice, and he sees angelic beings.
5. Then, when his soul opens still more, he realizes the true being of God.
