Encounter with a jinn
A Mysterious Dream That Stayed With Me
Throughout my spiritual journey, I have experienced several events that challenged my understanding of reality. This is one of those experiences. Whether it was a symbolic dream, a spiritual encounter, or simply something my mind cannot fully explain, I leave that for you to decide. I am sharing this experience exactly as I remember it, hoping it encourages thoughtful exploration of the unseen.
Introduction
This is another personal experience from my spiritual journey. I am simply sharing exactly what I experienced and how it affected me. Everyone is free to interpret such experiences in their own way.
A Regular Morning
This happened around one and a half years ago. At that time, I had not yet met my Guru, but I was following a disciplined spiritual routine every day. One morning, I woke up around 4:00 AM and noticed I still had about an hour before getting ready for work. I decided to go back to sleep, never imagining that this short nap would leave a lasting impression on me.
An Unexpected Visitor
In my dream, I found myself sitting in the guest room of my house. A man I had never seen before was sitting with me. He appeared friendly, calm, and seemed to know exactly why he was there. After a brief conversation, he told me that someone wanted to meet me. He described this being as a jinn and said it wished to speak with me.
The Invitation
At first, I wasn't interested. I asked him why I would want to speak to a jinn. He continued encouraging me and eventually asked me to step onto the balcony. Curious, I agreed. When I reached the balcony, I saw a man hanging effortlessly from the edge of the second-floor balcony. He looked at me with a smile and greeted me politely in my native language, almost as though he wanted to gain my trust.
A Choice I Refused
After introducing himself, he stretched out his hand and invited me to come with him. He said we could leave directly from the balcony if I simply held his hand. Something about the invitation made me uncomfortable. Instead of accepting, I told him I would come downstairs by myself. Looking back, I still remember feeling that I should not take his hand.
Trying to Show My Family
As I walked downstairs, I met my family coming up the stairs. I immediately told them there was a jinn outside and asked them to come with me. They didn't believe me. I took them back upstairs and searched for the mysterious figure. Eventually, I noticed him sitting quietly on the neighboring rooftop in a squatting position. I pointed toward him, but no one around me could see what I was seeing.
The Protection Mantra
At that moment, I instinctively raised my hand toward the figure and began chanting my protection mantra—the same mantra I regularly used during my spiritual practice. As soon as I finished chanting, the figure stood up. Instead of looking angry, I remember him appearing disappointed and upset, almost as though he had expected a different response from me. Without saying another word, he turned around and quietly walked away.
Waking Up
The very moment the figure disappeared, I woke up. Unlike most dreams that fade within minutes, every detail of this experience remained crystal clear in my memory. I remembered the conversations, the expressions, the surroundings, and every decision I had made throughout the dream.
Looking Back
To this day, I cannot say with certainty what I experienced. Some may see it as a symbolic dream, while others may interpret it through a spiritual lens. For me, it became another memorable event on my spiritual journey and reinforced the importance I place on my daily practice and the protection I seek through prayer and mantra. Whatever the explanation may be, it remains one of the most vivid and unforgettable dreams I have ever had.
