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.
