In this course, Rinpoche guides you through a deep exploration of the dream state. Rooted in the Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition, dream yoga is an advanced spiritual practice in which you can rediscover your dreams as potent vehicles for enhancing awareness in both dreaming and waking states.
This understanding can help you to move toward transforming your consciousness and your life, leading toward attaining ultimate liberation. The eventual goal of dream yoga is not solely to learn to dream lucidly, but also to recognize the illusory nature of both dreams and waking life and to realize the true nature of reality.
Dream yoga is also a preparation for death: as Rinpoche teaches, your ability to be grounded, peaceful, and aware during the dying process will depend on the success of your previous dream yoga practice.
If you’re feeling trapped, or if you find that you keep repeating unhelpful behaviors, dream yoga may provide an antidote, while helping you to see more and more clearly the illusion-like nature of reality.
This course on the ancient Tibetan practice of dream yoga, produced in partnership with our friends at GlideWing, features both newly-recorded teachings as well as classic, beloved past teachings and guided meditations with Rinpoche.
