The experts say that every dream has a scientific interpretation and if the dream is religious in nature, we Indians tend to take it very seriously. The residents of a village in Telangana dug up a highway as they believed in the dream of a self-proclaimed “godman”.
Lakhan Manoj (30) claimed that he had a dream in which Lord Shiva himself appeared and instructed him to dig up and pull out a Lingam from a particular spot. Believing his claims blindly, the people of his village went on digging up that particular spot which was on Hyderabad-Warangal National Highway near the Pembarthy village, Jangaon. Manoj also claimed that Lord Shiva also wanted that a temple should be built on that spot.
As per a report published in India Today, situation became worse when the municipal vice-chairman Nagarapu Venkat, sarpanch (village head) Balne Siddu Lingam and other villagers believed Manoj, dug up the national highway 20 feet deep and found nothing. Sarpanch told The Hindu,
“Manoj is an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva and has been getting this dream since three years. He asked us to help him dig up the spot and construct the temple. He used to conduct prayers at this location every Monday. As Manoj swooned in excitement at this spot we believed him.”
The video has also been shot of the whole incident which shows Manoj shaking and calling Lord Shiva and asking people to dig more, behaving in a nasty manner.

The result of this digging was that the traffic got stuck on the highway and till people came to realize that they made a mistake by believing Manoj, the damage was already done.
