Many are sure that dreams of Baba are real appearances of him. Here is an example of what Baba himself said about such dreams. It is from a conversation Baba had with Elizabeth Patterson in 1937. It is from Lord Meher, the online edition.
Elizabeth: "What are dreams?"
Baba: "Dreams are subconscious experiences which are always linked with your gross experience of the past. Sometimes, in your dreams, you see persons you never saw in this life. This link is from the past. It is all based on illusion and imagination."
Elizabeth: "Then how was it that when I was twelve years old I dreamt of you three different times, and when I first met you I recognized you as the one I had known in the dream? That was not illusion."
Baba: "What I mean," replied Baba, "is everything except your being infinite, is illusion. I am very ancient. Very, very old and always young."
