Description
This book gives detailed instructions for dream yoga, including foundational practices done during the day. In the Tibetan tradition, the ability to dream lucidly is not an end in itself, rather it provides an additional context in which one can engage in advanced effective practices to achieve liberation.
Dream Yoga is followed by sleep yoga, also known as the yoga of clear light. It is a more advanced practice, similar to the most secret Tibetan practices. The goal is to remain aware during deep sleep when the gross conceptual mind and the operation of the senses cease. Most of us do not even consider this depth of awareness a possibility, yet is well-known in Tibetan Buddhist and Bon spiritual traditions.
The result of these practices is greater happiness and freedom in both our waking and dreaming states. This book imparts powerful methods for progressing along the path to liberation.
