Metaphysics Q&A 155 – WHAT IF I RECITE IN MY SLEEP?

Metaphysics Q&A 155 – What if I recite in my sleep?

Q155: Master Lu, I often feel that I am performing recitations in my sleep. Sometimes I even recite the Heart Sutra (Hsin Ching). What does this mean? Do I get up and continue my recitation, or should I go back to sleep?

A155:

This could indicate that you have been practising very well lately, and that you are even practising Buddhism and performing recitations in your subconsciousness. This is a good sign.
In the case where you only recite a particular type of sutra in your sleep, then perhaps you need to recite it more, or you need to check if you are reciting it correctly.
If you are reciting the Heart Sutra or the Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra (Wang Sheng Chou) in your sleep in the middle of the night, then it could be your Karmic Creditor requesting for Little Houses.
At night, you can go back to sleep after you wake up from performing recitations in your sleep.
