- Join the esteemed master of dream yoga, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, in a rich exploration of the nocturnal meditations. The conversation begins with why Rinpoche has elected to teach so extensively on this topic, which is rarely emphasized by Tibetan lamas. Why should busy Westerner’s bother with dream yoga, what does it have to offer us, and what does it mean to accomplish this practice? Rinpoche talks about how his teaching of dream yoga has changed over the years, before elaborating on all the new content in the 2nd edition of his classic book, TheTibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep. The discussion turns to how dream yoga develops flexibility in identity, and why this is so important, before transitioning into the difference between adapting a teaching vs. editing it to suit egoic needs.
If teachings aren’t culturally translated and adapted, they go extinct. But if you adapt them too much, the teachings are diluted. How does one establish dream guardians, and create a protection circle for dreaming? Do we need to believe in spirits, and what are the consequences if we don’t? How can you tell if a dream figure is just a projection of your mind, or a real entity? Rinpoche then discusses the role of the subtle body, and the importance of the central channel, before turning to how the subtle body shapes our dreams. How can we work with the subtle body during the day to facilitate lucidity at night? What’s the best thing to do just before falling asleep? Can we use the subtle body to incubate dreams?
Dream yoga, and the subtle body, “break all the rules,” and help us live outside the box of the gross body, and our exclusive identification with it. Rinpoche exhorts us not to limit ourselves to the outer body, which grows old, gets sick, and then dies. Transition your identity to a deeper aspect of your being that does not age, get ill, or die. See for yourself why Rinpoche is the premier voice in the world of dream yoga today.

This is really a good discussion!
I find everyone has their very serious buttons, those buttons that when touched we get very serious, and that leads to anger.
So if we are serious about our attachments we are serious about getting angry about someone or something interfering with our attachments.
Attachment to anything but ultimately to the importance of our ego.
In our western society we say that taking something seriously is a sign of maturity and discipline, but from a spiritual point of view discipline is perfect but being touchy is not, for example.
But for example not being serious about a vow is not good.
Not being serious about our spiritual practice is not good.
Being disciplined is great, but practicing wisdom is fundamental and liberating, an ongoing process.
I guess we always have to remember that the way we perceive our ego is mistaken, so there will be 360 degrees consequences to that mistake that sees an indipendent and totally separated from everything else ( self ) 😅
So in that sense we need to train to not take our perceptions seriously.
And to investigate our perceptions and to remember we are dreaming
😀🙏
very nice
Both of you..are insightful & wise…Thuje-chey 🙏🏿
Hello and thank you for this very interesting video to Holecek and Wangyal Rimpoce !
I am studying Rimpoce's books, reading and rereading ( I plan to read them at least 7 times ) , I appreciate them very much.
Rimpoce said in one youtube video that he spoke in one book about ' not being serious ' which is a potential for having problems.
I have not found the book he talks about " not taking ourselves too seriously "
Do you know which book it is ?
Maybe he talks about it in this new book version of The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep ?
I will buy it now !
Thank You and Tashi Delek 😃🙏
