I didn´t know anything about jainism when I had a dream that I was walking through a temple made in marble (that white and blue stone). My body was of a 7 year old child, with a blue flame surrounding it. Then I found a big flame (without a "person" inside it). I talked to her. She was breathing and when she did it, I felt a lot of love (and brieth at the same time of the flame). The flame talked to me in a sound that remembered the sound of many violins. The color was almost white, but with many colored points.
The strange thing was that there was statues of a naked man as the columns of this temple (that I thought it was Buda). I was very interested in that dream, because it was very real.
So I made a research on Internet and recognized it as a jainist temple. I was always interested in Mahatma Gandhi and I was born in the same day, but I didn´t know that he was jainist.

Your dream is fascinating. It probably refers to an earlier incarnation as a Jain.
Jainism was founded by Lord Mahavir, who was an almost contemporary of Gautama Buddha. Lord Mahavir's statues are naked. He believed in non violence towards all living things which included even those invisible to the naked eye.Lord Buddha also preached non violence. Mahatma Gandhi picked up this tradition and put it into operation in the political arena.
Do continue with your research ...it might lead to greater revelations. Good luck!

Gandhi was a Hindu.
Your dream is fascinating! Sounds like reincarnation awareness to me. Time to do some heavy meditation and soul searching.
The statue of a naked man in a Jainist temple would not have been the Buddha.
PLease keep us posted as to what you discover.
may it all be well with you.

Your brain can dream all hat you desire , wish or imagine .Mahatma Gandhi was a Hindu that ideals of the religion encompasses all the noble principles .every thing else is just one single or simple aspect of it like the spec of a star in the whole universe of Hinduism.so everybody can identify mahatma Gandhi as one of his religion. he was a Hindu , a christian , a Muslim , A Jain , a Buddhist , a Sikh and what not !

I think you were a follower of Jainism in your previous life, and you are going to follow it again as your dream suggests.
