Dreaming of Reality: Sleeping, Dreaming & Dying in Tibetan Buddhism

D2S1 - State Checks and Dream Signs

Lama Alan · 100 minutes · recorded January 1, 2019

The first full day opens with a detailed preamble: Lama Alan Wallace asks how anyone can be harmed inside a dream, and answers that we identify with what is neither I nor mine, and reify everything. A guided practice of settling body, speech and mind in the natural state follows, ending in self-knowing awareness. He then turns to Stephen LaBerge's research: the three requirements for lucid dreaming, state checks such as jumping or reading a text twice, and a dream journal to find your own dream signs.
