Here are your 3 gems :
1. We all dream. Do you remember what you dream? How do dreams work? What if you you were awake in your dreams and what if you were dreaming in your waking day? What would that look like? What would that feel like? What if you could wake UP in your dreams? What would you do? Who would you be? Can you imagine?

Watch this video about Lucid Dreaming as described by Charley Morley at a Ted Conference in San Diego. Charley is a Lucid Dreaming teacher and practitioner in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as instructed by his teacher Lama Yeshe Rinpoche. I have had the privilege of working with Charley on one of his visits to New York City. He's lovely and approachable and a very good teacher.
Lucid Dreaming is the ability to consciously direct and control your dreams. It transforms your inner dream world into a living alternate reality ~ where everything you see, hear, feel, taste and even smell is as authentic as real life. It is a practice! Tibetan Monks have used dream control for more than a thousand years, in a philosphy called Dream Yoga. The modern term "lucid dreaming" was coined by the Dutch psychiatrist, Frederk van Eeden. It's meaning is mental clarity in dreams. Years of research through the 20th century has popularized lucid dreaming. And in 1987 Stephen LaBerge founded The Lucidity Institute to further explore the practice. Another amazing resource for exploring Lucid Dreaming is Stephen LaBerge's book Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming. Super cool stuff! |
