Dreaming of a party in Hinduism: meaning
Hinduism has many festivals, and the best known celebrate the victory of light over darkness and of good over evil: Diwali with its lights, Holi with its colours. A party in a dream is therefore often read favourably in Hindu readings, as joy, blessing and a new beginning.
Within this tradition
Diwali, the festival of lights, commemorates among other things Rama's return to Ayodhya after his victory over Ravana, and is also the festival of Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity. Homes are cleaned and lit with diyas, oil lamps, so that Lakshmi comes in. In Suriname and the Netherlands Diwali is celebrated widely by Hindustani families. A dream about a party full of lights is read along those lines as prosperity, blessing and driving darkness out of your life.
Holi, the festival of colours in spring, celebrates the victory of the devotee Prahlada over the demoness Holika, and the love of Krishna and Radha. People throw coloured powder at each other, and differences of age and status briefly fall away. Phagwa, as it is called in Suriname, is one of the biggest festivals there. A dream about colours and exuberant joy can be read as liberation, reconciliation and a new beginning after winter.
A puja or a wedding with many people is also often read favourably in Hindu readings, as blessing for family and community. A party where something goes wrong, such as a lamp going out, can ask where in your life light is needed.
Whoever dreams of parties in the festive months of Diwali or Phagwa is also simply processing preparation and anticipation.
