Tibetan Dream Yoga: The Practice Of Lucid Dreaming

 Chamtrul Rinpoche / Weekend / 24-26 March

‌

Most of us spend a third of our life asleep. Even though the mental state is more subtle when the body is asleep, it doesn't mean that we can't have an alert, meditative, observing mind. In fact, certain practices prove to be even more effective during this state, as we are less distracted by the five physical senses. In order to access dreams and to turn them towards the Buddhist path, we first have to realize that we are in fact dreaming. Tibetan Dream Yoga is the original form of Lucid Dreaming documented for 1,000 years where the aim is to awaken the consciousness in the dream state and to develop wisdom.
