How one can remember Kṛṣṇa even in ones sleep

    Śrīla Prabhupāda Says - [Regarding how one can remember Kṛṣṇa even in ones sleep]

    Devotee: How does the devotee go about practicing this Kṛṣṇa consciousness when he's asleep?

    Prabhupāda: Yes, Sleep means your gross senses are stopped, but your mind works. Therefore you dream. So if you practice your mind to be engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, in dream also you'll see that you are preparing prasādam. "I am going to sell Back to Godhead." (chuckles) That's all. Sometimes some nights when I feel hungry, I dream that I'm eating Kṛṣṇa prasādam very sumptuous. (laughing)

    Devotee: Oh, haribol! (laughing)

    Prabhupāda: (laughs) Somebody is supplying me nice parata and I am eating. (laughs) But, being hungry, oh, my hunger is not satisfied. I'm eating, eating, till the dream is end. So if you practice, this is the technique. We have to practice in this way, that when all functions of this body will be stopped at the time of death, oh, we shall remember some way or other, Kṛṣṇa. Then successful. Immediately successful. That is the technique.

    [Bhāg Gītā: 2.1.10 Talk - LA 25 Nov 1968]
