Ann:

Another version: A snake hides behind very rose on the astral
plane.

My version: And every program on network television is
interrupted by commercials.

IMHO, network and cable television, for the most part, are
reflections of the astral plane for the masses.  Their "dream"
life, is a world in which the good guy always wins in exactly an
hour, loving families gather in sitcoms and no one is poor.

I read an article in Tantra magazine, once, about a man who met
his spiritual teacher on the earth plane.  The teacher died and
the man began to see him in his dreams, which is where the
teacher then held class.

I've been told test results the day before my doctor told me
about them.

Question: Have Masters appeared to anyone in their dreams?
