My Master said, "If you have the grace of the Master, your samskaras can be wiped out of dreams. You don't have to undergo them in the waking reality." For instance, God forbid, somebody has the samskara which must make him a leper, may not today, may be a hundred year hence. The Master's grace can convert that into an experience of being a leper in a dream. In a dream he is a leper, he suffers whatever it is he has to suffer as a leper, the odium of being a leper, the isolation of being a leper, even the family pushing him out into a hut somewhere, throwing food at him like a dog. He wakes up and he finds, it is finished you see. But it requires a very special relationship with the Master before it can happen. So what does it mean?
