Pitru Paksha 2025 is here—a 15–16 day period sacred in Hinduism, when Shraddha and Tarpan rituals are performed for the peace and liberation of ancestors’ souls. But what if your ancestors appear not just in rituals, but in your dreams? Are these random visions, or are they urgent messages from beyond?
Astrologer siddharth S kumaar of NumroVani explains, “Dreams are a portal to communicate with the universe. During Pitru Paksha, seeing ancestors is a sign that the cosmos is trying to send you guidance about your duties, blessings, and lineage.”
Your dreams are not just imagination—they’re a window into your karmic responsibilities and ancestral blessings. Here’s what different types of dreams mean.
1. Ancestors Appear Happy
Smiling, peaceful, content.
Significance: They are pleased with the rituals and offerings you are performing.
Implication: Their souls are at peace, and your lineage is protected and blessed.
2. Ancestors Ask for Food or Water
Dreams where ancestors request sustenance, instructions, or rituals.
Significance: You may have unfulfilled responsibilities toward them.
Action: Perform the recommended rituals, make offerings, or course-correct in your spiritual duties.
3. Ancestors Appear Sad or Restless
If they seem unhappy, anxious, or unsettled.
Significance: This is a warning that proper rituals haven’t been done.
Action: Consider performing Narayanbali, Nagbali, or Tripindi puja, or donate to the needy in your ancestors’ name.
4. Dreams Are Messages, Not Random Thoughts
Each vision depends on its expression, actions, and context.
These dreams help you align your life with ancestral blessings and karmic responsibilities.
5. Performing Rituals Benefits Both Sides
Shraddha and Tarpan aren’t one-way. Ancestors gain peace, but we gain guidance, protection, and blessings.
Ignoring these duties can leave dreams restless and spiritual energy unbalanced.
6. The Bigger Picture
Pitru Paksha isn’t just about rites—it’s about acknowledging the past, correcting actions, and safeguarding your lineage.
Dreams are one of the universe’s most powerful tools to communicate this.
