Thread: Thinkfirst Dream Yoga journal

I've now had 4 LD and I'm getting more familiar with how to accomplish it.
I am in the middle of the Tibetan Dream Yoga book by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche an loving it immensely.
I want to move my journaling from the the beginning class to this one because Dream yoga is
really where my interest lies. Even just after 4 LD, I am gaining some insights that are
making a difference in the waking world. That's what I want from LD - to have it affect this
physical world, which is just another layer of a dream.

The method that works for me is WBTB after about 7 or 8 in the morning.
I use the plug nose and breath method of RC and do that several times a day.
I'm going to drop all other methods of induction, RC and dream signs because they didn't
seem to make any difference after the 3 months of practice.

I'll start through the dream yoga lessons and then just keep track here of things I have learned.

This last LD I had seemed very active and busy with problem-solving and managing people. I pondered doing the TOTM which was to make and enjoy a cup of tea. But everything in the dream seemed so important and busy that I couldn't just switch gears and make a cup of tea. I had stuff to accomplish and problems to solve.

After I woke up, I realized how silly this was. It was a dream. My dream. Nothing was going on. There was nothing but projections of my mind processing my previous karmic attachments. Since this waking physical world is also a form of a dream, I am more aware now that I want to adopt this new attitude. There's nothing to do, nothing happening on the absolute level. There's plenty of stuff appearing, yes, but its part of the dreamer's projection, and I can switch gears, slow down, look around, and make a cup of tea. I do not have any problems to solve.

This is how I interpret and currently look at those LD lessons. I'm sure I will change and mature in my perception. Meanwhile, the learning is fun.
