Buddhists/guidance on signs and symbols received

Question
Almost four years ago I was in a serious accident that I have called "awakening". Since then I received a vision of a teacher whom I met six months later (he knew who I was without ever meeting me before.) Including many other symbols such as an oriental lady with many arms, an oriental older man, both sitting in on pillows or a throne with legs crossed, and just recently received the word "Dharma" during meditation.

Are you able to help me with the meaning and the association of these symbols during mediation and energy healing, which is when I see them the most?

Thank you

Answer
I would find a Buddhist teacher who you feel a connection
with and talk to them face to face about these questions.

Maybe the teacher you talk about?

I wish you well with your search. I am sorry not to be more
specific in this reply. But to say anythind specific would be to deprive you of the special gift of the relationship
between teacher and student and I wouldnt want to do that.

I am only really able to general questions on this forum.
