Tibetan yoga of sleep and dreams - description and summary, author Rinpoche Tendzin, read for free online on the electronic library website website
If we do not know how to practice in our sleep, writes Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, if we fall into oblivion every night, what are our chances of maintaining awareness when death comes? Take a look at your experiences in dreams - you will find out what it will be like for you in death. Take a look at your sleep experiences and you will discover whether you are truly awake.
This book provides detailed instructions on dream yoga, including foundational practices that you can do throughout the day. In the Tibetan tradition, the ability to have lucid dreams is not an end in itself, but an additional area that can be mastered by performing effective higher-level practices that lead to liberation.
Dream yoga is followed by sleep yoga, also called Clear Light yoga. This even higher practice is akin to the most secret Tibetan practices. Its purpose is to remain aware while deep sleep when the gross conceptual mind and senses cease their activity. Most people in the West cannot even imagine that such depth of awareness is possible, but in the Tibetan spiritual traditions, Buddhist and Bon, this phenomenon is well known.
The fruits of these practices are increased happiness and freedom, both in the waking state and during sleep. Tibetan Sleep and Dream Yoga provides powerful techniques for moving on the path to liberation.

From the author
I would like to thank those who contributed to the preparation of the book for publication, and first of all and most of all – Mark Dalby, my student and close friend, with whom it was a pleasure to work with me. We spent many hours in cafes around Berkeley, discussing various issues. Without him, this book would not have seen the light of day.
I am also grateful to Stephen D. Goodman, a colleague and friend whose valuable advice improved the manuscript, to Sue Ellis Dyer and Chris Baker for editing an early draft of the book, to Sue Davis and Laura Shekerjian who read and commented on the book, and to Christina Cox of Snow Lion Publications, an experienced editor who brought her skill to the text and greatly improved the book.
The photographs depicting meditation and dream yoga poses (pp. 96 and 125, respectively) were taken by Antonio Riestra and modeled by Luz Vergara. Chakra drawings on ss. 120 and 122 were done by Monica R. Ortega. I would also like to thank all those whom I have not mentioned here who have provided me with various assistance.
I dedicate this book to Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, who has been a source of inspiration in my life, both in the way I teach others and in my personal practice.
Preface
In Tibet they say: “To eliminate all doubts about the authenticity of the teachings and transmission, one must turn to the line of succession and history.” So I'll start this book with brief history of my life.
Zhenya/ 09.27.2018 Thanks to the site for the opportunity to download a wise book.
Xolotl/ 08/21/2018 practices work much faster than Castaneda’s. don't forget - Carlos K is fiction, not a guide to action
Guest/ 01/30/2018 we are all, to some extent, biorobots living our lives in a kaleidoscope of hypnotic states... a wonderful book for those who want to wake up and live a conscious life
Sergey/ 01/11/2018 Vanya, I haven’t read it, but are you judging? You paint everyone with the same brush. Rinpoche, for your information, this is not a surname, but a title of the masters of Tibetan schools, meaning “precious”. Their knowledge about the practices of mindfulness (including the not at all central one about awareness in the sleep state) is already more than one thousand years old. This work is simply an adaptation for us, pathetic square-headed Europeans. And if you have read Castaneda, then after reading this book you will not have a trace of doubt about where the original source is. And with such reviews - sweet dreams to you.
Vania/ 06/1/2017 They are all scammers who write on the topic of dreams from the point of view of mysticism: Rinpoche, and Rainbow, and Radov, and Gosha, and everyone and everything like them. I am surprised by the number of suckers and losers who are vilely and stupidly fooled.
Dryulya/ 06/1/2017 If you want to study the phenomenon and start using it for practical things, within one or two weeks, then never in your life read the “textbooks” of Mikhail Raduga or Stephen Laberge. Stephen Laberge did not write textbooks, and Misha Raduga is a scammer. And what could be more practical than practice in the Buddhist tradition? "sleep and grow rich"? So this is self-deception and the cultivation of attachment to samsara, the ocean of suffering. PS Tenzin Wangyal is positioned as a representative of the reformed Bon.
Maksim/ 09.27.2016 Thank you so much!!!
Guest/ 08/2/2016 An interesting coincidence: the content of the book is essentially identical to what C. Castaneda wrote about in 9 books (omitting the assemblage point, peyote and other rubbish). Considering the fact that this book was written much later
Birzhan/ 04/07/2016 The book contains the very essence of practice! To whom it opens and to whom it does not!
Dalaiii/ 02/29/2016 Everything is there, both practice and philosophy. We read carefully.
Alex/ 08/18/2015 I must say this, if you want to practice lucid dreaming in the Buddhist tradition, as an addition to meditation, then this book is suitable for you.
And if you want to study the phenomenon and start using it for practical things, within one or two weeks, then read the textbooks of Mikhail Raduga or Stephen Laberge
Igor/ 07/17/2015 The reviews of those who did not find practice in the book are truly surprising. Gentlemen, apparently you are simply blind. I can also assume that someone did not find something specific that they wanted to find, and therefore simply overlooked what was actually there. This happens often
Eugene/ 10/5/2012 Alena: For practice you need a mentor...That’s why there is no practical part!
-->> Interesting, did you want to download the mentor in the archive with the book? :) You can see funny reviews...
But the book is good, even if only for general development. It will come in handy..
Julia/ 08/27/2012 I agree, the practical part is missing!
The book is interesting to read for general development!
Zhenya/ 02/10/2012 there is a practical part. and if you apply diligence, everything is possible without a mentor
