Dreams Between Waking and Becoming

What if your dreams already knew your future? In Dreams Between Waking and Becoming, author M. Aarohi shares 47 real dreams from her own life — from her school years to motherhood — and the remarkable, honest reflections they unlocked. Part spiritual memoir, part psychological self-portrait, this book weaves together ancient Indian symbolism, personal experience, and universal human themes in a voice that is warm, brave, and completely one-of-a-kind. Each chapter follows the same intimate structure: the dream itself (vivid, sometimes terrifying, sometimes absurd), the moment in the author's life it reflected, possible symbolic meanings, what it personally meant to her — and a reflective question left for you, the reader. ★ WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK UNIQUE:• 47 real dreams — not invented, not embellished. Lived.• A dual lens: ancient Indian spiritual symbolism + modern psychological insight• An interactive question at the end of every chapter — this is a book you think with, not just read• Themes that cut across cultures: motherhood, authority, grief, healing, belonging, transformation• An Indian perspective on dreaming that is refreshingly underrepresented in the genre• Short chapters — perfect for reading one dream per night before sleep ★ PERFECT FOR READERS WHO:• Have ever woken from a dream they couldn't shake• Are on a journey of self-discovery or spiritual growth• Enjoy personal memoirs with depth and honesty• Are curious about Jungian psychology, symbolism, or Hindu spirituality• Want a book that asks them questions, not just answers them ★ HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE BOOK:— A dead boss found floating beneath the author's own bed (Chapter 8)— A parrot who threatened to end its life because of a thoughtless joke (Chapter 35)— Climbing the Himalayas in five minutes during a Pooja (Chapter 45)— A tsunami — and instead of running, the author carries the kitchen to the roof (Chapter 13)— Lord Krishna handing over a bent flute that, once straightened, makes everything turn purple (Chapter 44) This is not a book about what dreams mean. It is a book about what your dreams mean — to you.
