Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraApahāraṇa (अपहारण) refers to “theft (of one’s things)” (in dreams), according to the Svacchanda-tantra.—Accordingly, [verse 4.21-27, while describing inauspicious dreams]—“[...] [He dreams of] the destruction of houses, palaces, beds, clothes, and seats; defeat of oneself in battle and theft of ones things (ātmadravya-apahāraṇa). [He] ascends or is amongst donkeys, camels, dogs, jackals, and herons, vultures, and cranes. [He rides on] buffalos, owls, and crows, eats cooked meat, [wears a] red garland, and ointment for the body. [...]”
