Role of Dream in Kui-Culture

The dream is a state of mind while asleep. It is
a reflection of one's thought, imagination and
intuition. Everybody, even a blind can have
dreams. Dreams have influenced the lives of
people since the beginning across civilisations
in myriad ways.
It is now part of the legend that Queen
Mayadevi of King Sudhodan had a dream that
an elephant is entering her body. To explain
the dream the wise men of the royal court were
consulted. The opinion was the queen would
beget a son who has qualities of a superman,
who can become a "chakravarti" or an ascetic.
The Child became the Buddha, the enlightened
one. Similarly, the Queen of Julius Caesar had
a dram that the statue of Caesar in the market
place is bleeding and she apprehended a
danger to the life of her husband. It was for the
dream; she pleaded Caesar not to go to the party
by his friends in which Caesar was ultimately
stabbed to death. In both the instances, the
dreams were indicative of the coming events.
