This kind of sums it up

I was re-reading a chapter of EWLD during lunch today and was really struck by this quote from Tarthang Tulku.

Take some time to read this through a couple of times and meditate on it. See how many of you can identify with what he said:

With continued practice, we see less and less difference between waking and dream state. Our experiences in waking life become more vivid and varied, the result of a lighter and more refined awareness...This kind of awareness, based on dream practice, can help create an inner balance. Awareness nourishes the mind in a way that nurtures the whole living organism. Awareness illuminates previously unseen facets of the mind, and lights the way for us to explore ever-new dimensions of reality.

Very true. because we are working on realising certain aspects of reality, whether it be dream or waking, we are becoming more aware, and in doing that we are becoming more aware of ourselves.

Wow, that really strikes a chord, Especially after the three month thing, and the thwarg stuff. I think this quote says what I am trying to say, "There is no good, no evil, only better and worse, it is the direction you travel, not a line you can cross. You can chose a path of learning or of destruction, The choice is yours." Ask me if you want to know who said that.

My interpretation.......

Last night I remembered 9 dream segements fairly clealry. Last night being in the dream did not feel as different as being awake. I did not feel any different. Though I was not lucid I was more aware of my self being there when the dream happened and I found that it felt less distinguishible from the waking state than when I dreampt before working on lucid dream techniques.
