Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraVetāladarśana (वेतालदर्शन) refers to “seeing demons” (in dreams), according to the Svacchanda-tantra.—Accordingly, [verse 4.21-27, while describing inauspicious dreams]—“[The dreamer] sees a bear or monkey, demons (vetāladarśana—...darśanam ... vetālakrūrasattvānāṃ), cruel beings, and dark men. [He sees those who] have erect hair, dirty ones, those who wear black garlands, clothes, and coverings. That man who, in his dream, embraces a red-eyed woman, he dies, there is no doubt, if he does not bring about peace. [...]”
