Thread: Deeper than REM?

I only did this fully, one time, when I was first getting really into dream yoga. I was determined to stay aware for the whole night, from laying down in bed to getting up in the morning. And it actually happened, I couldn't believe it when I woke up. It also was extremely exhausting, maybe not exactly physically. But it was kind of like how it feels when I hang out with people for a long time (I'm super introvert), and I feel drained afterwards. I haven't tried to do it since because it wasn't very much fun or satisfying for me other than having done it.

I have not had aNY glimpses, but I have a strong, intuitive feeling about it and these feelings are not usually wrong. I theorize that it could be powerful in exactly what sivason's first dream example of trying to heal nomad was. I expect that dream example is only one of many applications in this state.

Vagaltone - I have been practicing dream yoga for a few years now, I keep trying to attain the clear light dream state or, luminous clarity. It is something that is a pretty big goal for me, and I have yet to even come close I wonder if anyone else reading this has?
