His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama said: "Tibetan Buddhism considers&nbsp;



sleep to be a form of nourishment, like food, that restores and refreshes the&nbsp;



body. Another type of nourishment is samadhi, or meditative concentration. If&nbsp;



one becomes advanced enough in the practice of meditative concentration,&nbsp;



then this itself sustains or nourishes the body."&nbsp;





Dreams are a significant part of our life. They are as real and unreal as life&nbsp;

itself. Dreams are extremely personal - and transpersonal, too. Our dreams are&nbsp;

a reflection of ourselves: in dreams, no matter how many characters appear,&nbsp;

we meet ourselves. Dreams are mirrors to our soul. They can help us to better&nbsp;

understand ourselves, our world, and the nature of reality. Dreams introduce&nbsp;

us to other dimensions of experience. Here, time and space are much more&nbsp;

liquid and plastic; they can be shaped and reshaped almost at will. Dreams hint&nbsp;

of other worlds, other lives. They are a glimpse of our afterlife. Everyone&nbsp;

dreams, although not all dreams are remembered equally. Fifty-six percent of&nbsp;

Americans have had a lucid dream - that is, a dream in which one is aware that&nbsp;

one is dreaming. Twenty-one percent say they have a lucid dream once a&nbsp;




month or more. Meditators report vividly clear, self-aware dreams weekly and&nbsp;



even more often.&nbsp;



How Dreams Can Help Us&nbsp;



Great healers have long recognized the power of dreams to inform and support&nbsp;

us. Hippocrates said, Dreams are one of the most important ways to diagnose&nbsp;

a patients illness." Sigmund Freud's turn-of-the-century work. The&nbsp;

Interpretation of Dreams, marked the beginning of the era of modern&nbsp;

psychology and psychoanalysis. Certain dreams can convey subconscious,&nbsp;

valuable information to the dreamer. A week before the event, Abraham&nbsp;

Lincoln dreamed that he would be assassinated. The emperor Constantine&nbsp;

dreamed of radiant Greek letters spelling the name of Christ and was&nbsp;

converted, leading to the dramatic conversion of the entire Byzantine Empire.&nbsp;

I, myself, have received messages, teachings, and blessings through my&nbsp;

dreams from the spiritual masters I have known and loved in this lifetime.&nbsp;



Some contemporary psychologists consider lucid dreaming a valuable practice&nbsp;

for personal growth. This model is, however, different from Tibetan dream&nbsp;

yoga. The spiritual practice goes deeper, helping us work with the great&nbsp;

passages of life and death. Tibetan dream yoga teaches us how to navigate the&nbsp;

groundlessness of moment-to-moment existence, which typically makes no&nbsp;

intellectual sense. It is at this level that we cut through the illusory nature of&nbsp;

mind and truly experience our marvelous human existence.&nbsp;



Cultivating our innate ability to wake up within the dream can:&nbsp;



• Increase clarity and lucidity, both waking and sleeping&nbsp;

• Help us realize the transparent, dream-like nature of experience&nbsp;

• Free the mind&nbsp;

• Release energy blockages and accumulated tension and stress&nbsp;

• Loosen habits and make us more open, attuned, and flexible&nbsp;

• Unleash and mobilize creativity&nbsp;

• Bring repressions and denials into consciousness&nbsp;

• Clarify and dispel confusion&nbsp;

• Solve problems&nbsp;

• Reveal the process of death and rebirth&nbsp;

• Heal and relax us&nbsp;

• Expose fantasies&nbsp;

• Unlock aspirations and potentials&nbsp;

• Facilitate direct encounters with our shadow nature&nbsp;

• Provide spiritual blessings, visions, and guidance&nbsp;

• Help open our innate psychic capacities&nbsp;

• Remove hindrances and obstacles&nbsp;

• Help prepare (rehearse) us for death and the afterlife&nbsp;


Awakening within the dream&nbsp;



The seminal Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu dreamed he was a butterfly.&nbsp;

Upon awakening, he wondered whether he was a man who had dreamed he&nbsp;

was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was a man. Chuang Tzu's musings&nbsp;

underscore a fundamental truth: life is like a dream.&nbsp;



Spiritual life is about awakening from the dream of unreality. The word Buddha&nbsp;

itself is from the word bodhi, "awakeful." Buddhist wisdom and practice help us&nbsp;

to awaken to who and what we truly are, and to recognize the difference&nbsp;

between the real and the unreal in our daily life. All of our spiritual practices&nbsp;

are designed to awaken us from the daydream of illusion and confusion, where&nbsp;



we are like sleepwalkers, semiconsciously muddling our way through life.&nbsp;



Self-knowledge through spiritual awakening helps us become masters of&nbsp;

circumstances and conditions, rather than victims. This is why the Armenian&nbsp;

spiritual master George Gurdjieff said: "Contemporary man is born asleep, lives&nbsp;

asleep, and dies asleep. And what knowledge could a sleeping man have? If&nbsp;

you think about it and at the same time remember that sleep is the chief&nbsp;

feature of our being, you will soon understand that if man wishes to obtain&nbsp;

knowledge, he should first of all think about how to awaken himself, that is&nbsp;

about how to change his being."&nbsp;



South American shamans call this awakening from the dream of life&nbsp;

"shapeshifting": entering into a spiritual journey with the explicit&nbsp;

purpose of transformation. Shapeshifting and other forms of conscious&nbsp;

dream-work can, through regular practice, help us experience other&nbsp;

realms of existence, visit our dear departed, and achieve spiritual&nbsp;

mastery.&nbsp;



Australian aborigines say we all live in the dreamtime: we are like dream&nbsp;

characters, living out our lives beyond the illusion of being born and dying.&nbsp;

Tibetan masters call this dreamtime the bardo, or intermediate stage. Bardos&nbsp;

exist between the ending of one state and the beginning of another, such as&nbsp;

birth and death - or death and rebirth. Dreaming, too, is a bardo, marking the&nbsp;



seemingly unstructured zone between waking and sleeping.&nbsp;



Tibetan Buddhism is unique among Buddhist schools in teaching us how to&nbsp;

awaken within the dream and how to practice spiritually while sleeping. This is&nbsp;

the essence of Tibetan dream yoga, and the focus of all the practices&nbsp;

associated with it. The Yoga of the Dream State, an ancient Tibetan manual on&nbsp;

the practice of dream yoga and lucid dreaming teaches that we can learn five&nbsp;




spiritually significant wisdom lessons through assiduously practicing this path of&nbsp;



awakening:&nbsp;



• Dreams can be altered through will and attention&nbsp;

• Dreams are unstable, impermanent, and unreal — much like fantasies,&nbsp;

magical illusions, mirages, and hallucinations&nbsp;

• Daily perceptions in the everyday waking state are also unreal&nbsp;

• All life is here today and gone tomorrow, like a dream; there is nothing to&nbsp;

hold on to&nbsp;

• Conscious dreamwork can lead us to the realization of wholeness, perfect&nbsp;

balance, and unity.&nbsp;

For centuries, Tibetan masters have taught their students how to use&nbsp;

dreamtime and dream space to further spiritual progress by increasing&nbsp;

awareness during the dream state. Tibetan Dream Yoga brings you these same&nbsp;

techniques for realizing the five wisdom lessons and reaping the benefits of&nbsp;

awakening within the dream.&nbsp;



The Six Yogas of Tibet



&nbsp;Tibetan dream yoga is one of the renowned Six Yogas of Tibet, an ancient&nbsp;

Buddhist teaching that originates with the enlightened yogic adepts (siddhas) of&nbsp;

ancient India. These yogas (or practices), utilized for a millennium by all four&nbsp;



schools of Tibetan Buddhism, help us to utilize the body/mind/spirit as a&nbsp;



vehicle for awakening and enlightenment — by day, by night, and in the&nbsp;



afterlife (bardo).&nbsp;



The Six Yogas are:&nbsp;



• Inner heat (mystic incandescence) yoga&nbsp;

• Illusory body yoga&nbsp;

• Dream yoga&nbsp;

• Clear light yoga&nbsp;

• Bardo yoga&nbsp;

• Conscious transformation yoga&nbsp;

The Six Yogas tradition was first brought to Tibet thirteen hundred years ago&nbsp;

by the Indian tantric master Padmasambhava, founder of the Ancient School&nbsp;

(Nyingmapa) of Tibetan Buddhism. Padmasambhava himself received the&nbsp;

teachings he codified as The Yoga of the Dream State from a mysterious yogi&nbsp;

named Lawapa. In ensuing centuries, as Buddhism grew and flourished in&nbsp;

Tibet, Marpa the Translator and other Tibetan sages made the grueling journey&nbsp;

on foot to India to study from yogic masters, then brought the teaching back&nbsp;



with them.&nbsp;



Through practicing the Six Yogas, we come to realize the infinite&nbsp;



emptiness/openness, ungraspable quality, and luminosity that is the true&nbsp;




nature of reality. Dream interpretation, the use of dreams for predictions and&nbsp;

healing, and the development of psychic powers and healing abilities can arise&nbsp;

naturally from the continuous practice of dream yoga and the related yogas&nbsp;

(especially clear light, inner heat, and illusory body).&nbsp;



The Spiritual Benefits of Tibetan Dream Yoga&nbsp;



His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama has this to say about awakening&nbsp;

our dream body and using it for spiritual progress and development:&nbsp;

"There is said to be a relationship between dreaming, on the one hand,&nbsp;

and the gross and subdue levels of the body on the other. But it is also&nbsp;

said that there is a 'special dream state.' In that state, the special dream&nbsp;

body is created from the mind and from vital energy (prana) within the&nbsp;

body. This special dream body is able to dissociate entirely form the&nbsp;



gross physical body and travel elsewhere."&nbsp;



One way of developing this special dream body is first of all to recognize&nbsp;

a dream as a dream when it occurs. Then you find that the dream is&nbsp;

malleable, and you make efforts to gain control over it. Gradually you&nbsp;

become very skilled in this, increasing your ability to control the&nbsp;

contents of the dream so that it accords to your own desires. Eventually&nbsp;

it is possible to dissociate your dream body from your gross physical&nbsp;

body. In contrast, in the normal dream state, dreaming occurs within the&nbsp;

body. But as a result of specific training, the dream body can go&nbsp;

elsewhere. This first technique is accomplished entirely by the power of&nbsp;



desire or aspiration.&nbsp;



There is another technique that arrives at the same end by means of&nbsp;

prana yoga. These are meditative practices that utilize the subtle, vital&nbsp;

energies in the body. For these techniques it is also necessary to&nbsp;

recognize the sleep state as it occurs.





According to sleep researchers, we typically experience four stages of sleep.&nbsp;



• Hypnagogic sleep - the state of drowsiness we experience as we&nbsp;

begin falling asleep&nbsp;

• Ordinary sleep- here, we enter a true sleeping state, but can still be&nbsp;

easily awakened&nbsp;

. Deeper sleep - vital functions slow down, and we are more likely to&nbsp;




sleep through disturbances&nbsp;



• Deep sleep - muscles are totally relaxed, and it would be difficult to&nbsp;

wake us up (we only spend about fifteen percent of our sleeping hours at&nbsp;

this stage)&nbsp;

It takes about an hour to cycle through all four stages; then we go back&nbsp;

in reverse order to stage 1. Before beginning the cycle again, however,&nbsp;

we experience rapid eye movements (REM) under our closed lids.&nbsp;

Research shows that this is when we dream. We spend twenty to&nbsp;

twenty-five percent of our sleep time in this state. In order to practice&nbsp;

dream yoga, we must introduce awareness during the periods of REM&nbsp;

sleep (which last from a few minutes to half an hour). If we can identify&nbsp;

that stage while asleep -perhaps with the help of an assistant or a&nbsp;

dream-light device - we can further incubate, develop, and enhance the&nbsp;

awareness practice of becoming conscious and lucid within the dream&nbsp;

state.&nbsp;



Dreaming&nbsp;



Tibetan dream yoga texts teach us that, in general, there are three&nbsp;

types of dreams: Ordinary, karmic dreams, arising mostly from the day's&nbsp;

activities, and from previous life activities, thoughts, experiences, and&nbsp;

contacts.&nbsp;



• "Clear light" dreams: spiritual visions, blessings, and energy openings&nbsp;

• Lucid dreams, which are characterized by awareness that one is dreaming&nbsp;

Under these three broad divisions, dreams can be divided into a further six&nbsp;

categories:&nbsp;



• Dreams of events that occurred while we were still awake&nbsp;

• Dreams about other people, alive or dead&nbsp;

• Forgotten elements emerging from the subconscious&nbsp;

• Archetypal content, evocative symbols, and so on&nbsp;

• Extrasensory perceptions, profound dreams, and omens&nbsp;

• Radiant, luminous, spiritual dreams&nbsp;

Recurrent dreams, nightmares, dreams of death, and other kinds of commonly&nbsp;

reported dreams all fall within the first four dream categories. In the interests&nbsp;

of developing deeper awareness of your dreams, you may find it helpful to&nbsp;

identify the category that applies whenever you recall a particular dream.&nbsp;



The Practices of Tibetan Dream Yoga&nbsp;



It is important to create a spiritual context for the practice of Tibetan dream&nbsp;

yoga. Lucid dreaming can easily be misused to perpetuate the problems we&nbsp;




experience in our waking lives. For example, one might direct one's dream&nbsp;

toward a gratifying encounter or a vengeful fantasy. You will find that the&nbsp;

techniques on Tibetan Dream Yoga somehow don't work as well when used for&nbsp;



such purposes.&nbsp;



Tibetan dream yoga practice comprises three parts:&nbsp;



• Daytime practice, designed to help us recognize the dreamlike nature of all&nbsp;

existence and thereby prepare us to experience our dreams as vividly as we do&nbsp;

our waking activities&nbsp;



• Morning wake-up practices that help us recall our dreams, and confirm our&nbsp;

determination to recall more of them&nbsp;

. Night time practice, which prepares the ground for lucid dreaming and&nbsp;



spiritual&nbsp;



Daytime Practice :&nbsp;



During the day, practice these four points:&nbsp;



• Contemplating the body as illusory and unreal&nbsp;

• Contemplating the mind and mental activities as similarly insubstantial&nbsp;

• Regarding the world and all phenomena and experience as dreamlike,&nbsp;

insubstantial, impermanent, and unreal&nbsp;

• Recognizing the relativity and ungraspable quality such as time, space,&nbsp;

knowledge, and awareness&nbsp;

Reminding ourselves of these four truths throughout our waking hours helps to&nbsp;

dissolve the barrier between the dream of life and the sleeping dream. As we&nbsp;

become more adept at these practices, we begin to regard our nighttime&nbsp;

dreams as continuations of our waking dream and we learn how to bring&nbsp;

habitual awareness to both.&nbsp;



Mirror Practice&nbsp;



The following mirror practice is an effective way of perceiving the dreamlike&nbsp;

nature of “reality”, and especially of “self”. From time to time during the day,&nbsp;

take a few minutes to do it.&nbsp;



1 Stand in front of a mirror and look into your own eyes.&nbsp;



2. Hold up a hand mirror behind your right or left ear and look at its reflection&nbsp;

in the larger mirror. Keep angling the hand mirror so as to fragment and&nbsp;

multiply your image as much as possible. Let your mind fragment along with&nbsp;

the image.&nbsp;


3. After a few minutes, angle the hand mirror back until you return to the&nbsp;

original, single image in the mirror in front of you.&nbsp;

The analogy of a mirror image is, like dreams, traditionally used to describe the&nbsp;

insubstantial nature of our everyday experience. The mirror practice helps&nbsp;

bring that teaching to life. The fragmented image is the kind we might see in a&nbsp;

dream; yet we are seeing it while we're fully awake — or are we?&nbsp;





Allowing your mind to "fall apart" also helps ventilate the solidity we typically&nbsp;

attribute to our world, and especially to our "self."&nbsp;





Partner Exercise&nbsp;



Here is a traditional dream yoga practice you can do with a partner. This is an&nbsp;

immensely useful technique, not only for challenging the distinction between&nbsp;

sleeping dreams and the dream of being awake, but also for applying your&nbsp;

training to practical, everyday situations.&nbsp;



1 - Insult, blame, and criticize your partner. Your partner should listen to&nbsp;

all of this as echoes; empty sounds.&nbsp;



2 – Trade places. Now have your partner disparage you, while you&nbsp;

practice just hearing the sounds and not taking the words to heart&nbsp;



3 – Try doing this same exercise using praise and flattery instead of&nbsp;

blame. In either case, the listening partner should practice not reacting&nbsp;

in any way, recognizing what is being said as a dream. At first, you may&nbsp;

find it difficult to maintain equanimity while you do this practice. Stay&nbsp;

with it – you will find that doing so yields rich rewards over time.&nbsp;





Wake-up Practice&nbsp;



The moments immediately after waking are the most fertile for recalling&nbsp;

dreams. The following practices are designed to support and strengthen your&nbsp;

recall. They will also facilitate a mindful transition between the sleeping and&nbsp;

waking dream states. Upon waking in the morning, practice:&nbsp;




• The lion's out-breath - breathing out with the sound "ah"&nbsp;

• The lion-like posture for awakening and purifying - sitting up in bed with&nbsp;

raised head and gazing and emphasizing the exhalation, repeating the "ah" out&nbsp;

breath three times&nbsp;



• Raising the energy - standing up, reaching the fingertips to the sky, and&nbsp;

repeating the lion's out-breath&nbsp;

• Entering into mindful reflection on the transition between the states of&nbsp;

sleeping, dreaming, and waking reality - coming into the present moment,&nbsp;

recording dreams. Thus, you will enter the day recognizing that all things are&nbsp;

like a dream, illusion, fantasy, mirage, and so forth.&nbsp;





Nighttime Practice&nbsp;



After going to bed, practice these four points in order to create the conditions&nbsp;

for mindful, lucid dreaming.&nbsp;



• Chant the following prayer three times to remind you of and strengthen your&nbsp;

resolve to awaken within the dream, for the benefit of the ultimate awakening&nbsp;

of all beings: “May I awaken within this dream and grasp the fact that I am&nbsp;

dreaming, so that all dreamlike beings may likewise awaken from the&nbsp;

nightmare of illusory suffering and confusion”.&nbsp;

• Lie on one side with your legs together and knees slightly bent. Let your&nbsp;

bent arm take the weight of your torso by resting your head on your open&nbsp;

hand. This is the posture of the sleeping Buddha, as he has been traditionally&nbsp;

depicted at the moment of passing into nirvana (death).&nbsp;



• Bringing your attention to your throat chakra, visualize your energy rising up&nbsp;

out of your body. Feel it rise up from your heart chakra with your breath and&nbsp;

pass into your "third eye" or brow chakra: the point between your eyebrows.&nbsp;

Visualize it as a full, luminous moon behind your eyes. Go into the light.&nbsp;




• Visualize the letter "A" (symbolizing infinite space) on the surface of the&nbsp;

moon.&nbsp;

• Notice whatever images begin to appear on the sphere of light behind your&nbsp;

eyes.&nbsp;

Deepening Your Practice&nbsp;



To progress still further in Tibetan dream yoga,&nbsp;



• Pay careful attention to your dreams&nbsp;

• Record your dreams in a dream journal upon waking each morning&nbsp;

• Recognize recurrent images, themes, associations, and patterns&nbsp;

• Contemplate the archetypal, symbolic content and meanings of your dreams&nbsp;

• Reflect on the similarities and differences between night dreams, daydreams,&nbsp;

fantasies, visions, ideas, projections, and so on&nbsp;

• Wake yourself up during the night to reaffirm your resolve to awaken within&nbsp;

the dream and grasp the fact that you are dreaming&nbsp;

• Sit up in meditation posture while sleeping to maintain continuous awareness&nbsp;

while inducing and incubating lucid dreaming&nbsp;

• Have a dream assistant at hand to guide you while asleep, helping you learn&nbsp;

to retain conscious presence during dreams&nbsp;

• Meditate alone in darkness to develop the inner clarity of the Clear Light Mind&nbsp;

- the mind unaffected by illusion&nbsp;

• During the day, maintain awareness that everything you experience is like a&nbsp;

dream&nbsp;

• Chant the dream yoga prayer by day and by night to help reinforce your&nbsp;

intention to awaken within the dream. (if you want, or change the wordings)&nbsp;

A&nbsp;






THE LIFELONG PRACTICE OF TIBETAN DREAM YOGA&nbsp;



Like any spiritual practice, Tibetan dream yoga will reveal more substantial&nbsp;

benefits the longer and more consistently you practice it. In the Buddhist&nbsp;

tradition, however, discipline alone is not enough to bring your practice fully&nbsp;

alive. Motivation — the reason you practice in the first place - is considered as&nbsp;

crucial as technique and commitment.&nbsp;



You will have noticed that the Tibetan dream yoga chant includes an aspiration&nbsp;

to help free all beings of their suffering. This intention lies at the root of all&nbsp;

Buddhist practice. The underlying teaching is that all living beings are&nbsp;

interconnected: none of us can be completely free so long as any of us is still&nbsp;

asleep.&nbsp;



As you practice Tibetan dream yoga, recognize that the suffering you seek to&nbsp;

alleviate through spiritual practice is, in fact, universal. Recognize, too, that the&nbsp;

more awake you are, the more helpful you can be to those you care about in&nbsp;

fact, to, to everyone you come into contact with. Practice with the intention of&nbsp;

working with your own individual part of the whole, in order to bring all of&nbsp;

human awareness to a new level. In this way, you will derive the greatest&nbsp;

possible benefits from your dream yoga practice.&nbsp;



Some sayings about dreams:&nbsp;



“Dreams are a reservoir of knowledge and experience, yet they are often&nbsp;

overlooked as a vehicle for exploring reality”- Tarthang Tulku Yoga Practice&nbsp;



“All that we see is but a dream within a dream”- Edgar Allen Poe&nbsp;



"A dream not interpreted is like a letter not read"- The Talmud&nbsp;



“Dreams are real as long as they last. Can we say more of life?” – Henry Havelock Ellis&nbsp;



“You beings on earth who are deep in slumber… Stop sleeping! Wake up! What&nbsp;

are you waiting for?”-The Zohar&nbsp;



“There are some who are awake even while asleep, and then there are those&nbsp;

who, apparently awake, are deeply asleep” – Lalla&nbsp;



“Do not sleep like an animal that mixes sleep and reality” - Tibetan&nbsp;

instruction for dream yoga practice&nbsp;



“Let sleep itself be an exercise in piety, for such as our life and conduct have&nbsp;

been so also of necessity will be our dreams” – Saint Basil&nbsp;

Dream&nbsp;

Interpretation&nbsp;





How do you relate to dreams? A framework for dreams&nbsp;





Painting by Bob Venosa



&nbsp;All dreams work to accomplish one of two things&nbsp;



1 To solve the problems of your conscious, waking life.&nbsp;



2 To present you with access to new potentials and creativity. Because&nbsp;

dreams come from all levels of your being, understanding the imagery&nbsp;

and type of dream is the key to understanding and actualizing the&nbsp;

messages you receive during sleep.&nbsp;



3 Symbols express those things for which we have no words. By working&nbsp;

with them, we use both hemispheres of the brain and tap the&nbsp;

subconscious mind more fully, which in turn opens the doors to our&nbsp;

intuitive self&nbsp;



A dream symbol could literally represent itself as well as its possible&nbsp;

interpretations. The images and symbols may also represent aspects of&nbsp;

your personality. When you begin to reflect on the symbols, always start&nbsp;




by registering your first impressions but don’t stop with the obvious.&nbsp;

Dreams are symbolic representations, not reproductions. The dream&nbsp;

images always represent more than themselves, and so the more you&nbsp;

work with them, the more you will understand them.&nbsp;



Dreams do not come to tell you what you already know. Look at the&nbsp;

dream images and symbols as pieces of a puzzle that you can put&nbsp;

together only by finding out what they mean to you.&nbsp;



How do you relate to the dream?&nbsp;



1 Start by looking at how the dream could be reflecting something going&nbsp;

on in your daily life.&nbsp;



2 Then move on to the more subtle, free association with the dream&nbsp;

images.&nbsp;



3 What’s the first thing you would normally think about in connection to&nbsp;

that symbol or image, activity or person appearing in your dream&nbsp;

scenario?&nbsp;



4 doing more than representing themselves. They may also represent&nbsp;

qualities or characteristics that you have "projected" on them. For&nbsp;

example, you may dream of your grandfather, a man who was very kind&nbsp;

to you. The quality of kindness is therefore associated with your&nbsp;

grandfather, so dreaming of him could symbolize kindness. (You will&nbsp;

know the difference between a symbolic representation of a quality or&nbsp;

characteristic and a real "psychic" contact with a loved one.)&nbsp;



5 Examine the emotions within the dream scenario. What is the&nbsp;

predominant emotion associated with the dream? Remember that it may&nbsp;

be the emotion aroused that is the key and the scenario is simply a&nbsp;

vehicle to deliver the message.&nbsp;



6 When you wake up, does a particular feeling remain? For example, are&nbsp;

you frightened, frustrated, happy, excited?&nbsp;



Dreams often exaggerate emotions, qualities and situations to get a&nbsp;

particular message across to you. This does not mean that you have that&nbsp;

quality or will experience that situation to the intensity you experienced&nbsp;

within the dream. When this occurs, you are often being given a strong&nbsp;

thump on the head to pay attention! This is what nightmares do. They&nbsp;

are dynamic calls for your attention. They show you your greatest fears,&nbsp;

fears that must be confronted.&nbsp;



Dreams often come in a series. Various dreams in a single or successive&nbsp;

nights may be different ways of saying the same thing. The subconscious&nbsp;

mind may be communicating the same message to you in different ways&nbsp;




to make sure that you get it. Look for relationships and symbols that&nbsp;

reoccur and notice the similarities. Ask yourself what they have in&nbsp;

common.&nbsp;



Proper dream interpretation leads towards greater understanding of&nbsp;

yourself, but do not lose touch with your common sense in dream work.&nbsp;

On the surface, dreams may seem to predict futures events or alarming&nbsp;

situations, but do not jump to conclusions. With practice, you will be able&nbsp;

to discern if a dream is precognitive (reflecting future events) or not.&nbsp;



Dreams use symbols to make you develop and understand your personal&nbsp;

symbolic language. This language comes directly from your soul and&nbsp;

uses symbols and images from impersonal archetypes and from personal&nbsp;

experience to make a strong or subtle impact on your psyche. This&nbsp;

symbolic language is unique, given just to you, in the hope that it will&nbsp;

make you conscious of your real needs and problems. This language of&nbsp;

the soul also helps you to unfold your creativity and activates the&nbsp;

spiritual dimension within your psyche.&nbsp;





Painting by John Vega&nbsp;



A framework for dream work might be:&nbsp;

1 Choose a dream.&nbsp;

2 Determine the dream type, issue, crisis, a block, a resolution already&nbsp;





included in the dream.&nbsp;

3 Make a list of the symbols in the dream.&nbsp;

4 Find out the relationships between symbols.&nbsp;

5 Find out the relationships between the dream ego and the symbols.&nbsp;






6 Find out the similarities and contrasts in the dream.&nbsp;



7 List what the dream ego is and is not doing in the dream&nbsp;



8 Find out about the ego’s relationships with other items in the dream.&nbsp;



9 Make a summary, and list what you have discovered.&nbsp;



This is a basic method of working with dreams that helps you develop&nbsp;

self-analysis, observation, and a "conscious" and "lucid" state of&nbsp;

consciousness. You can follow it up with different methods.&nbsp;



Dream work helps those who want to know themselves, since like a&nbsp;

mirror, it not only projects who we are but also displays what we need to&nbsp;

do. In other words, dreams are the best guides to reveal what you have&nbsp;

on your conscience, what needs to be worked out in your life, and how to&nbsp;

become a better and happier person.&nbsp;



Finally, keep a dream journal that represents the "mirror of your soul"&nbsp;

and helps you understand yourself better. Write your dream down as&nbsp;

soon as possible, even just a few words, to remind you of your dream,&nbsp;

for the more importance you give to your dream work, the more inner&nbsp;

messages and intelligent guidance you will receive&nbsp;



It is during my Psychosynthesis training, in London in 1984, that I was&nbsp;

given this Guideline to Dream Interpretation.&nbsp;

DREAM YOGA&nbsp;






TEACHING IN DREAMS&nbsp;



There are numerous examples in the Tibetan tradition of practitioners who received&nbsp;

teachings in dreams. Often the dreams come in sequence, each night's dream starting&nbsp;

where the previous night's dream ends, and in this way transmitting entire, detailed&nbsp;

teachings until a precise and appropriate point of completion is reached, at which point the&nbsp;

dreams stop. Volumes of teachings have been "discovered" this way, including many of&nbsp;

the practices that Tibetans have been doing for centuries. This is what we call "mind&nbsp;

treasure" (gong-ter).stabilize in consciousness without identifying with the conventional&nbsp;

self. The practitioner whose clarity is unobscured by karmic traces and samsaric dreams&nbsp;

has access to the wisdom inherent in consciousness itself.&nbsp;



Authentic teachings discovered in dream do not come from the intellect. It is not like going&nbsp;

to the library and doing research and then writing a book, using the intellect to collect and&nbsp;

synthesize information as a scholar might. Although many good teachings come from the&nbsp;

intellect, they are not considered mind treasures. The wisdom of the Buddhas is selforiginated,&nbsp;

rising from the depths of consciousness, complete in itself. This does not mean&nbsp;

that mind treasure teachings will not resemble existing teachings, for they will.&nbsp;

Furthermore, these teachings can be found in different cultures and in different historical&nbsp;

periods, and can be similar even though they do not inform each other. Historians work to&nbsp;

trace a teaching back in time in order to point out how it was influenced by a similar&nbsp;

teaching, where the historical connection took place, and so on, and often they find such a&nbsp;

link. But the underlying truth is that these teachings arise spontaneously from humans&nbsp;

when they reach a certain point in their individual development. The teachings are&nbsp;

inherent in the foundational wisdom that any culture can eventually access. They are not&nbsp;

only Buddhist or Bon teachings; they are teachings for all humans.&nbsp;



If we have the karma to help other beings, the teachings from a dream may be of benefit&nbsp;

to others. But it may also be the case, if we have karma with a lineage, for example, that&nbsp;




the teachings discovered in a dream will be particularly for our own practice, perhaps as a&nbsp;



specific remedy to overcome a particular obstacle.&nbsp;



Imagine entering a cave and finding a volume of teachings hidden inside. This is finding in&nbsp;

a physical space. Mind treasures are found in consciousness rather than in the physical&nbsp;

world. Masters have been known to find these treasures both in dreams of clarity and&nbsp;

when awake. In order to receive these kinds of teaching in a dream, the practitioner must&nbsp;

have developed certain capacities, such as being able to stabilize in consciousness&nbsp;

without identifying with the conventional self. The practitioner whose clarity is unobscured&nbsp;

by karmic traces and samsaric dreams has access to the wisdom inherent in consciousness&nbsp;

itself.&nbsp;



Authentic teachings discovered in dream do not come from the intellect. It is not like going&nbsp;

to the library and doing research and then writing a book, using the intellect to collect and&nbsp;

synthesize information as a scholar might. Although many good teachings come from the&nbsp;

intellect, they are not considered mind treasures. The wisdom of the Buddhas is selforiginated,&nbsp;

rising from the depths of consciousness, complete in itself. This does not mean&nbsp;

that mind treasure teachings will not resemble existing teachings, for they will.&nbsp;

Furthermore, these teachings can be found in different cultures and in different historical&nbsp;

periods, and can be similar even though they do not inform each other. Historians work to&nbsp;

trace a teaching back in time in order to point out how it was influenced by a similar&nbsp;

teaching, where the historical connection took place, and so on, and often they find such a&nbsp;

link. But the underlying truth is that these teachings arise spontaneously from humans&nbsp;

when they reach a certain point in their individual development. The teachings are&nbsp;

inherent in the foundational wisdom that any culture can eventually access. They are not&nbsp;

only Buddhist or Bon teachings; they are teachings for all humans.&nbsp;



If we have the karma to help other beings, the teachings from a dream may be of benefit&nbsp;

to others. But it may also be the case, if we have karma with a lineage, for example, that&nbsp;

the teachings discovered in a dream will be particularly for our own practice, perhaps as a&nbsp;

specific remedy to overcome a particular obstacle.&nbsp;

IMPORTANCE OF DREAMS IN THE MYSTICAL PROCESS&nbsp;



Part : I&nbsp;



Dreams are tools -Dreams and the psyche -The Inner Process of dreams -

Dreams as Teachings&nbsp;





There is basically no difference between the waking state and that of dream, except&nbsp;

that one seems more stable than the other. Only after there is awakening in the&nbsp;

form of enlightenment is it realized that the waking world itself is indeed nothing&nbsp;

but a long dream resulting from mental disposition - a movement in Consciousness&nbsp;

in which what seems a solid body and its sufferings are really an illusion.&nbsp;

This chapter is dedicated to readers who have proven to themselves that dreams&nbsp;

are more than just dreams, that they are indeed "tools" teaching us to look at&nbsp;

ourselves in an impartial and impersonal way.&nbsp;



Dreams are tools&nbsp;



Dreams are tools of transformation. Moreover, at a certain level of inner work,&nbsp;

dreams stop being dreams and instead become spiritual levels of consciousness.&nbsp;

But, in the meantime, dreams open invisible doors to subtler levels of spiritual&nbsp;

growth, awakening in seekers of truth and wisdom, our permanent witness or soul&nbsp;

within our conscious selves.&nbsp;





Let us first introduce the symbol of the trident, the logo of the sea-god&nbsp;

Poseidon/Neptune. What connection does that have with the process of dreaming?&nbsp;

Poseidon, the god of seas and oceans, holds the trident as a mark of his command&nbsp;






of the waters. In the context of dream work, he represents the king of the&nbsp;

subconscious levels of the psyche. In fact, with his trident, Poseidon also&nbsp;

commands the monsters of the deep, which reminds us of the deep waters of the&nbsp;

subconscious and its own monsters and shadowy figures. The subconscious can&nbsp;

therefore be compared to the abysmal depths of the ocean; the bottomless deep&nbsp;

waters symbolize the subconscious and unconscious parts of our psyche where&nbsp;

emotions and instincts mingle and mix without purpose or direction.&nbsp;



The three menacing elongated prongs of the trident look like weapons and are used&nbsp;

for penetrating, scratching and wounding, so in the symbolic context of dream&nbsp;

work, the trident is a penetrating device, effectively "wounding" and scraping what&nbsp;

is useless and needs to be separated and removed from the virginal aspect of the&nbsp;

psyche. But this wounding opens three deep holes that allows the penetration by&nbsp;

the spiritual light of the soul that nourishes and illuminates the unconscious part in&nbsp;

us. Through this purification, our unconscious becomes conscious of itself. Thus the&nbsp;

trident symbolically opens these three "gates" to higher levels of enlightenment.&nbsp;

Let us examine these three "wounds" and three "gates."&nbsp;



The three wounds have the power of transmuting our self-consciousness from its&nbsp;

dualistic awareness to its source, Cosmic Consciousness. In piercing and&nbsp;

perforating our "self-conscious" aspect, the prongs transmute the egotistic and&nbsp;

lower psychic character traits into their spiritual perfect ideals. Thus the trident is&nbsp;

an awakening device a powerful symbol for our purification and spiritual&nbsp;

advancement through dream work.&nbsp;



From a religious aspect, the trident and the net represent two symbols of Christ as&nbsp;

"Fisher of Man." Furthermore, the trident’s prongs are of an equal length,&nbsp;

symbolizing the Trinity. Hence, the trident is an effective instrument of purification&nbsp;

and purgation for awakening the inferior parts of the psyche and sensitizing them&nbsp;

to higher spiritual impulses coming from the psyche that are influenced by the&nbsp;

permanent witness.&nbsp;



Moreover, the trident, as a symbol of Trinity, impregnates and penetrates with its&nbsp;

triune spiritual energies the lower and higher aspects of our self-consciousness. In&nbsp;

Christian tradition, the trident is placed in Satan’s hands as an instrument of&nbsp;

punishment. However, esoteric tradition and spiritual psychology tell us that we&nbsp;

need to go deep within ourselves to discover the blocked energies, and then, "fish"&nbsp;

them out, as it were, so as to bring them into the light of consciousness. Turning&nbsp;

our attention within subtly develops the intuitive faculty of our sixth sense to help&nbsp;

us understand who we are and what we need to do to reintegrate our perfect&nbsp;

model.&nbsp;




Tiratna&nbsp;



In Buddhism, the trident is taken as a symbol of the Tiratna, or triple jewel&nbsp;

(Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, meaning the Awakened One, the Truth expounded by&nbsp;

Him, and the followers living in accordance with this Truth). It may also be&nbsp;

regarded as the triple current of energy in man. And in our own spiritual context,&nbsp;

the trident represents the instrument moving these same energies within our&nbsp;

psyche.&nbsp;

Dreams and the Psyche&nbsp;



Dreams help us look deeper within our own psyche, to discover the Mystery of Man.&nbsp;

But unless we devote ourselves and allocate time to work with the energies and&nbsp;

meaning of dreams, they will always remain unsolicited and strange phenomena.&nbsp;

That is why our psyche needs to dream, since dreams are a source of knowledge&nbsp;

helping us in the process of releasing unwanted garbage. Dreams are given to us to&nbsp;

rescue us from lethargy and unconsciousness.&nbsp;



Previous chapters have compared the psyche to a mirror reflecting whatever&nbsp;

preoccupies it. What is reflected in dreams are the thoughts and emotions of our&nbsp;

good and bad intentions and experiences. It is in the mirror of our psyche that real&nbsp;

purification and understanding take place, since we must become conscious of what&nbsp;

appears on the surface of our psyche. The conscious impressions coming from a&nbsp;

dream have an important role to play in the awakening process as a whole, and&nbsp;

each dream, each symbol enriches this process, since spiritual dream work takes&nbsp;

into account the subtle purification process of the whole man. Dreams about&nbsp;

purification are given to those of us who want to awaken our permanent and&nbsp;

spiritual witnesses. To do that, we must unite them in our "ordinary" level of selfconsciousness.&nbsp;

Therefore, we must become aware of our unconscious traits that&nbsp;

need transformation. Without this, our ego cannot continue on this journey.&nbsp;



This kind of spiritual work in itself exposes the psyche to the influences and&nbsp;

intuitions pouring in from the permanent witness (see About the Mystery of Man,&nbsp;

parts 1 – 4). This is the first important means of access, the "key" opening the door&nbsp;

of Poseidon’s mysterious palace in which are gathered all the past and present&nbsp;

experiences, all the fears and stresses imprisoned since time immemorial. Those&nbsp;

unconscious doubts and worries linger hopelessly in the depth of darkness awaiting&nbsp;

the right moment for the thunderbolt of consciousness to penetrate them and bring&nbsp;




them to the light of understanding. As a consequence of these delicate operations,&nbsp;

the retrieved or "fished out" blocked energies float on the surface of dreams&nbsp;

captured by our self-conscious ego. To help us understand their meaning, they take,&nbsp;

in dreams, the shape of potent personal and universal symbols and archetypes. The&nbsp;

ego must process these with subtlety, intuition and sensitivity, so that their&nbsp;

meaning becomes clear and illuminating.&nbsp;

go. To help us understand their meaning, they take,&nbsp;

in dreams, the shape of potent personal and universal symbols and archetypes. The&nbsp;

ego must process these with subtlety, intuition and sensitivity, so that their&nbsp;

meaning becomes clear and illuminating.&nbsp;



At first, these types of dreams are usually experienced as nightmares since our&nbsp;

consciousness has to reorganize and focus its attention on the inner dynamics of&nbsp;

dream work. With phantasmagoric, incomprehensible, and senseless dreams, we&nbsp;

must try to focus our attention and use our intuition to grasp the irrational within&nbsp;

ourselves. So, we should not ignore dream sequences that might have nothing in&nbsp;

common with each other or appear nonsensical. It really doesn’t matter if the&nbsp;

beginning of a dream doesn’t match what follows it. Analogous to a jigsaw puzzle,&nbsp;

we should use our intuition to retrieve the "seed idea" and meaning of each part of&nbsp;

our dreams. The expansion of the "seed ideas" and "meaning" is important, and it&nbsp;

doesn’t matter if our intuition reveals different symbols or meanings to the dream.&nbsp;

What counts is the effort exerted by our psyche to unravel a new dimension. Our&nbsp;

ego must turn its attention to within itself, in the silent space within Being, where&nbsp;

the impelling magnetic presence of the intelligence of the heart reigns.&nbsp;



Thus, if dreams first appear confusing, it is because these types of dreams release&nbsp;

the pressure and stressed energies blocked in our psyche. To release stress in&nbsp;

dreams, the symbols are magnified so as to make an impact and emphasize certain&nbsp;

aspects of a problem. Another reason for disturbing dreams is to help us become&nbsp;

conscious of the nature of our stress or anxiety. We should use our intuition to look&nbsp;

at the incongruous symbols in our dreams, trying to "respect" their meaning.&nbsp;

Intuition assists us in "reading" what goes on in our psyche, since like a mirror, it&nbsp;

reflects what goes on within us. This is how, from our permanent witness, we&nbsp;

receive some practical solutions and interpretations. However, the exchange of&nbsp;

intuitive ideas and feelings between our psyche and ego occurs only if our ego is&nbsp;

open to change. If we are willing to work with the symbols, then a special flow of&nbsp;

energy streams from our permanent witness, allowing us to understand what we&nbsp;

must do to remove the problem, and transform what needs to change.&nbsp;



Top&nbsp;



The Inner Process of Dreams&nbsp;



Spiritual psychology looks at the esoteric and intuitive aspect of dream work, and is&nbsp;

based on inner guidance. However, psychology is based on the interpretation and&nbsp;

analysis of psychologists or facilitators. These two approaches may sound and even&nbsp;

look the same, but they are not. The first is solely based on inner revelation and the&nbsp;

second on feedback and outside guidance. The first is used by mystics, those guided&nbsp;

by their soul, who seek a closer relationship with their permanent witness. The&nbsp;

second is used by those who are only interested in finding solutions to problems,&nbsp;

new directions and meaning in times of crisis.&nbsp;




Both are useful and important dream work tools to purify and transform the psyche.&nbsp;

If we want to know who we are, then we should start with the psychological&nbsp;

approach, either alone, in a group, or with a therapist. We should also seek the&nbsp;

guidance of the inner master, or presence within. Whichever way we choose, our&nbsp;

first step should always be with the psychological approach before starting any&nbsp;

other kind of spiritual work, since, this approach takes us to the depth of our&nbsp;

psyche and is part of an alchemical process. This is our descent into the world of&nbsp;

Poseidon where our unconscious self waits. The quest to awaken our spiritual&nbsp;

awareness can begin only after a certain amount of purification and transformation&nbsp;

of the psyche. Our consciousness, having taken the downward journey, is&nbsp;

eventually drawn towards an ascending path. Then, what we receive becomes more&nbsp;

subtle and enlightening since it comes without distortion directly from the soul.&nbsp;

gin only after a certain amount of purification and transformation&nbsp;

of the psyche. Our consciousness, having taken the downward journey, is&nbsp;

eventually drawn towards an ascending path. Then, what we receive becomes more&nbsp;

subtle and enlightening since it comes without distortion directly from the soul.&nbsp;



If we are serious in our work with the spiritual level of dreams, we must also&nbsp;

realize that dreams are like seeds containing potential whole trees. Dreams,&nbsp;

therefore, contain the seed ideas coming from the permanent witness. Their&nbsp;

purpose is to transform our ordinary levels of consciousness to higher spiritual&nbsp;

ones, since some dreams are in themselves examples of spiritual planes co-existing&nbsp;

in our psyche that are the seeds waiting in our subconscious to be recognized and&nbsp;

awakened by our ego. In other words, they are our spiritual levels of consciousness&nbsp;

that permeate into our everyday consciousness. This is the grounding aspect of the&nbsp;

whole process of dreams since, if we need to fathom the Mystery of Being and&nbsp;

experience our own harmony and unity with it, then the nature of our dreams&nbsp;

changes. Moreover, the essence and meaning of our dreams take a more abstract&nbsp;

and irrational quality that cannot be shared with anyone, since they come directly&nbsp;

from our permanent witness as a language of our soul, a language that can only be&nbsp;

understood only intuitively. .&nbsp;



The spiritual dimension of dreams could be described, at best, as delicate and&nbsp;

subtle experiences given directly by our permanent witness to our consciousness in&nbsp;

order to foster a healing and purifying, leading to a new level of consciousness in&nbsp;

us, which we must allow to unfold in our ordinary lives.&nbsp;



What really matters here is our wish for inner transformation, since strong desire to&nbsp;

unfold a higher level of consciousness is an illuminating catalyst that energizes our&nbsp;

psyche. This is an important element in dream work. The power of concentration&nbsp;

and a strong desire to work with dreams as tools for our own transformation opens&nbsp;

naturally and directly the inner path to the permanent witness.&nbsp;

Dreams can become mystical Teachings&nbsp;



Dream work is comparable to learning a new language. First we must learn the&nbsp;

alphabet. Dreams are a new symbolic world opening up in our self-consciousness.&nbsp;

Why do we say "self-consciousness"? Because, unless our self-consciousness&nbsp;

awakens whilst dreaming, our dreams will have no impact and we will not&nbsp;

remember anything of great importance. Thus we must gradually stimulate and&nbsp;




awaken our self-consciousness during dreams so that they can be something more&nbsp;



than mere stress release.&nbsp;



Later, when our ego or self-consciousness "awakens" to its true nature—the&nbsp;

impersonal Cosmic Consciousness—then dreams and the inner process take a new&nbsp;

direction, and we see, understand and experience them in a totally different way&nbsp;

since, from then on, our ego or self-consciousness realizes that it is just a vehicle&nbsp;

for Cosmic Consciousness. We then perceive all kinds of dreams and astral&nbsp;

projections differently, since the veil separating them from Cosmic Consciousness is&nbsp;

no more. Our ego knows that it is just a reflection of the blazing light of the&nbsp;

presence of God or Pure Being. When the veil is torn, and ego and soul meet and&nbsp;

merge, the true identity of the Creator and initiator of our inner process becomes&nbsp;

even clearer. The impersonal Cosmic Consciousness within us is the sole creator of&nbsp;

dreams, and its limited self-conscious counterpart, our ego, it is seen at the other&nbsp;

end of the process as the receiver of dreams.&nbsp;



The mission of Cosmic Consciousness within man is to enlighten man’s ego. In&nbsp;

other words, Cosmic Consciousness actively guides the process of awakening the&nbsp;

ego to its true nature, hence it directs the inner world of dreams and astral&nbsp;

projections during sleep. Cosmic Consciousness takes over and creates whatever is&nbsp;

necessary for our self-consciousness to understand and experience our ego. That is&nbsp;

why prophets, saints and disciples of all religions and philosophies have been&nbsp;

enlightened and have received knowledge and wisdom through their dreams,&nbsp;

visions and astral travels. The ways that our soul carries out its initiatory course of&nbsp;

action to awaken our ego and open up the "rainbow bridge to infinity" is a source of&nbsp;

great gratitude and awe.&nbsp;
