The fear of non returning.

I suggest you read “Vakya Vritti” by Adi Sankara commentary by Swami Chinmayananda. It helped me understand and reconcile Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism.

Thanks for the recommendation, Middleway.

this was really interesting. I sometimes have recurring dreams about a tiger off in the distance, coming to get me or just there and I'm terrified of it. Though I've never seen a tiger in real life. And once during my "epic" dream of self discovery my cat at the time appeared in it and for some reason during the dream I knew that my cat there was actually God. I don't even believe in God...

Hey mobius, you are sensing someone genuinely hostile to you or deeply angry at you. They could be your spouse or uncle etc. Investigate and be careful.
