that even if they appear in dream, you will at once wakeup, you will be saved from the mal formation and the miscarriage of your mind. Mind is like a playful child. The mind must be filled with sattva (purity). Evil thought is the most dangerous thiefs, slay this theif with the sward of wisdom. Make your thought pure, strong & definite. You will gain immense spiritual strength and peace.
If you wish to attain self realisation, imagination and speculation must be stopped. Purify & control the emotions.
Beneath your conscious life, there is a very wide region of subconscious life. All habits originate from the sub conscious plane. Subconscious life is more powerful than your ordinary life of objective consciousness. Through the practice of yoga (sanhana), you can modify, control and influence the subconscious depths.
If you become angry once in a month instead of once weekly, that is a sign of progress, that is a sign of your increased will power, that is a sign of growing spiritual strength. Be of good cheer. Keep a diary of spiritual progress.
The substitution of spiritual thought method is very easy and effective in the destruction of evil thoughts.
