Agni Purana (Jyotisha Selections) · by Vyasa
Chapter 4 · Dreams
स्वप्नाध्यायः
तथा स्तुतिप्रपठनं पुंसूक्तादिजपस्तथा ।स्वप्नास्तु प्रथमे यामे संवत्सरविपाकिनः ॥ १६ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 229, verse 16.
Also recite praises, and chant the Purusha Sukta and the like. A dream in the first three-hour part of the night ripens in a year.
Simple meaning: Recite praises and the Purusha Sukta. A dream in the first part of the night bears fruit in a year.
षड्भिर्मासैर्द्वितीये तु त्रिभिर्मासैस्त्रियामिकाः ।
Later parts of the night give quicker results: six months, three months, half a month, then ten days.
एकस्यामथ चेद्रात्रौ शुभं वा यदि वाऽशुभम् ।) पश्चाद्दृष्टस्तु यस्तत्र तस्य पाकं विनिर्दिशेत् ॥ १८ ॥
If you see a good and a bad dream in one night, the later dream decides the result.
तस्मात्तु शोभने स्वप्ने पश्चात्स्वापो न शस्यते ।
After a good dream, do not go back to sleep. Climbing a mountain, palace, elephant, horse or bull is good.
