The great psychiatrist Carl Jung once had a dream in which he found himself behind a meditating yogi, in a temple. On walking to the front of the yogi he discovered that it was himself.

In his dream he knew, at that moment, that when the yogi's meditation was over, he, Carl Jung, would die as a human.

It is a very ancient Hindu concept that we and the universe are fragments of a dream, or a meditation of God.
