The sixteen dreams of King Pasenadi?

What is Sutta reference for this?

Do you think we can apply this Sutta to the present world we are living too.

It's the Mahāsupina Jātaka.

Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice.

This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.
