Dreaming Yourself Awake: Lucid Dreaming and Tibetan Dream Yoga for Insight and Transformation by B. Alan Wallace





We humans are observer-participants who co-create the world of our experience, while uncritically assuming that it already exists out there, independent of our participation.



If you don’t have a natural curiosity about your sleeping and dreaming, think about this: should you live to the age of ninety, about thirty years--- an entire 1/3 of your life – will pass in your sleep.



How are spiritual awakening and lucid dreaming connected? In both cases you are poignantly aware of the unfolding of your experiences in the present moment.  You are not carried away by distractive thoughts and emotions.  You can observe their appearance, continuity, transformation, and fading with perfect clarity.  Like a chess master, your mind is fully focused – sure and unclouded.
