I was with my sister, and we were on a mountain collecting firewood. Suddenly, many armies began approaching us from different directions, coming to kill us. At that moment, my other sister was shouting for us to run. But I told my sister it wasn’t a good idea to run, because the armies were positioned above us, and it would be easy for them to attack from there. I suggested we find a place to hide. As we searched for a hiding spot, my sister became increasingly anxious and afraid. I tried to calm her, saying, ‘Don’t worry—this is just a dream.’ I was aware that it wasn’t real. I wanted to carry that awareness into my meditation, but the moment I tried, I woke up.
