Dream yoga is the art of waking up in our dreams and becoming conscious of them, conscious that we are in a dream, in another realm. Some mix this up with lucid dreaming some with astral projection. Lucid dreaming is becoming aware and manipulating an interior realm that you are creating and inhabininginhabiting. Astral projection is to utilize a higher vehicle in this case the astral body to travel in the world and other realms in which you see things as they are and are not able to control the outcome of things as you can in the internal lucid dream.
As children, we came with lots of energy and were able to astral project and lucid dream very easily. When we are kids we have potent energy stored in our pineal gland. We are connected to the field and the three states of consciousness are subtly mixed. The waking and dreaming state are overlapping. As we grow older these seem to separate and we experience them one at a time. We wake up and we are in the I Am and we go about our day. We go to sleep and enter the realm of dreams where we lose faculties of discrimination and become automatic, unconscious that we are dreaming, then we experience the dreamless state where we merge with the inner being and experience no being. This does not have to happen. If we become fully awake in the waking state when we are going to work, relaxing with the family, or experience experiencing pleasure or discomfort we can become awake in the astral plane as well. In dream yoga, you have to remind yourself throughout the day up to 30 times to check if you’re dreaming or not. By doing this repeatedly it will transfer into the realm of dreams and you will be performing the same reality checks that you did when you were awake and you will then wake up.
The astral plane is more real than the physical waking state. The dream state is either conscious or unconscious, mechanical or methodical it all depends on your ability to wake up and remain cognizant during the waking hours. The Tibetans prepared for death through the practice of sleep. Perhaps when you die the individual being is now unable to respawn into the physical waking state and goes between the deep sleep and the dream state. One would want to be fully conscious of this process. When we become lucid and conscious in the internal realms we can teleport to the superior dimensions, There we can play and partake in the pastime of Krishna visit ancestors or even people who are still alive in the present time, In the Upanishads, it says the higher realms are full of chariots and ethereal women and men to be joyous an interact with. The dream realm does not have to be a frenzy of unconscious patterns that took place in your waking state hence most dreams are repeats of what happened during the following day. If we become lucid, instead of calling for and summoning a desire to be fulfilled we can ask to be taken to a spiritual teacher or the true universities of the soul that are on the other planets. We can ask to allow our defects to be revealed to ourselves, we can talk to our inner being and seek guidance in our daily lives!
We spend a huge portion of our lives in unconscious sleep, if we become conscious we can utilize that time to add value to our life span.
