What was the significance of Mara's dream in the 'Watchman of the Lake'?

$\bf{\huge{\underline{Answer}}}$

Mara was a visionary. He had progressive ideas for the welfare of the village. He realised the significance of conservation of water. His dream reflected his wish or desire of conserving water. Goddess Veda appeared twice in his dream. For the first time, she was very beautiful and peaceful. She gave a command to him to build a tank to properly utilise the water. Mara wanted to convey the message to the king to build a tank for proper utilisation of water. When Goddess appeared in his dream for second time, she was furious. Her eyes were curled and gleamed with strange light. She was in a destructive and aggressive mood – carrying a sword in her hand and had splashed her forehead with vermilion. Mara was afraid of her. It proves that nature is both constructive and destructive. It advises people, in form of dream to Mara, to build a tank for proper utilization of water. But when they become too much selfish in the utilization of water, then Goddess incarnates and causes floods. So humans are playthings at the hands of nature. To convey this message, and a lesson for the coming generation, Mara is a role model who sacrificed his life for the noble cause.
