12. Is there a relation between a number that appears in a dream and the number of Little Houses required?
- If in your dreams there are scenes about karmic creditors with accompanying numbers, then the numbers usually have an association with the number of Little Houses you should recite. For example, if someone you do not know says that you owe him $30, it usually means that you need to recite 30 Little Houses for your karmic creditors. For relatively large numbers such as 18,000, if there are no other determining factors or distinctive scenes in the dream, then you can ignore the zeros at the end and interpret it as 18 Little Houses. If it is a very large number, such as 3,600,000, you can divide it by 30,000, which gives you 120 Little Houses, but it could also mean 36 or 360 Little Houses.
In some exceptional circumstances, very large numbers may be the actual representation of the required number of Little Houses. For example, $30,000 may very well mean 30,000 Little Houses (The above examples are only an indication as the actual numbers vary according to the details of the dream).
- There are no hard and fast rules. The specific circumstances shown in the dream as well as one’s actual circumstances need to be considered together. If someone suffering from a severe illness dreams about $500, this probably means 500 Little Houses are required; if a healthy person were to dream about $500, it might only mean 50 Little Houses.
- If you frequently find it difficult to determine the number of Little Houses required, just persist with reciting Little Houses for your karmic creditors. Even if you cannot tell how many Little Houses are required, you will eventually be able to help them ascend to a higher spiritual realm if you continue reciting.
