Do you ever see your ishtadeva in dreams, or perhaps other aspects of Sanatana Dharma? It's probably just the result of directing your concentration on God, or practice-- my brother would disagree-- but it's interesting all the same.
I had a dream last night where someone was attacking me in a shopping mall. i was calling to the people walking by to help me, but they did not. So I began to chant "Om namo Vasudevaya"; my voice became very loud and echoed through the halls. Then, I began to grow very large, turned blue, and took on the appearance of Vishnu. I don't remember what happened after that, but we'll assume that my attacker was thwarted.
Reminds me of the story of Prahlad.
