Description
It is said that the practice of dream yoga deepens our awareness during all our experiences: the dreams of the night, the dream-like experience of the day, and the bardo experiences after death. Indeed, dream yoga is a powerful awakening tool, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of Tibetan traditions.
Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself. “If we cannot carry our practice into sleep,” Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche states, “if we lose ourselves every night, what chance do we have to be aware when death comes? Look to your dream experience to know how you will fare in death. Look to your sleep experience to discover whether you are truly awake.”
