A Wake-Up Call from a Dream

Sept. 13, 2025 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) On August 20, 2025, I had a vivid dream. In it, someone conveyed to me—through a form of wordless telepathy—that Minghui Weekly and other types of Dafa material would soon no longer be available. This experience felt exactly as Master described in Zhuan Falun where enlightened beings communicate silently with a simple smile. Urgently, I turned on my computer to verify this message. Previous issues of Minghui Weekly appeared line by line but after a certain point, the screen went blank, with no further records. I searched for other types of Dafa materials and it was the same. Another thought was transmitted to me: Fa-rectification is in the final stage, as if the curtain is falling and the performance is ending. The human world felt overwhelmingly desolate.

I woke up in tears. The Minghui weekly which has been with us for over twenty years is no longer available. Is the Fa-rectification truly coming to an end? I have practiced Dafa for over two decades but I have seldom been diligent. My attachment to comfort remains very strong, yet Master has continued to give me hints and has never given up on me.

I vividly remember when I first began practicing. After reading “Essentials For Further Advancement” at the end of 1997, I had a dream that night of a giant, golden 卍 symbol. It was immense and radiant, spinning through the cosmos and propelling me forward with such force that it felt as if I might fly endlessly. At the time I was frightened because I had only just started reading the teachings and hadn’t even finished Zhuan Falun once. Without a clear understanding of the Fa principles I was afraid to move forward along with the spinning 卍 symbol. I didn’t know where it would take me to in the universe and worried I would crash like a falling star. Out of fear, I tried my best to resist moving forward.

Over the past 20 years, the memory of that scene remains vivid in my mind. I now regret not following Master more closely. Throughout my cultivation journey Master has constantly given me hints. Yet I have been a disappointing disciple, only progressing when Master pushed me. Without Master’s encouragement, I would not move or might even take a step backward.

This time, I woke up from my dream feeling truly frightened. Is Fa-rectification really coming to an end? If so, to what level have I cultivated to? Not to mention how far I am from meeting Master’s requirements—would any of us meet the mark if we evaluate ourselves honestly? In my dream, I understood that “after a period of time” meant four to five months. Whether it is four or five months or even four or five years, we can all sense that time is running out. Fellow practitioners, let us reflect deeply: how much have we truly let go of our various attachments, sentiments, ego, everything that ties us to the human world? The despair I experienced in my dream when Fa-rectification was complete, was overwhelming. The world felt gray, just like in an old black-and-white photo. The sky was filled with dismay, sorrow, regret—utterly helpless— yet it is all too late. The atmosphere of “too late” was incomparably sorrowful, truly frightening, and unforgetable.

I would like to share my reflections on this dream with fellow practitioners, hoping they may benefit those facing situations similar to mine. Let us seize this final opportunity to diligently advance in cultivation. In everyday language, this means quickly looking inward, recognizing our shortcomings, and working to improve ourselves. Let us strive to catch up with Master in Fa rectification. Life in the human world is like a carefully staged play—when the curtain falls, everything ends. All things here are fleeting, like sand slipping through our fingers—the tighter we grasp, the more quickly it disappears. Release human attachments that were never truly ours, follow Master, and return to our original home. May we reunite in heaven.

These are some of my understandings at my current level. Please point out anything incorrect.
