DREAM CONTROL
Also known as Milam - the yoga of the dream state - it's a suite of advanced tantric
techniques.
Just like our Westernized understanding of lucid dreams, the initial aim is to awaken
the consciousness in the dream state.
However, as for what happens next, Tibetan lamas have more esoteric goals in mind...
It's considered a passing on of enlightened experience rather than reading texts, and
requires the student to develop sufficient self awareness to achieve conscious
lucidity during sleep.
Their aim is to harness the power of the lucid dream state by "apprehending the
dream". Students are then required to complete set tasks to take them to the next
level. These tasks include:
The ultimate goal in Tibetan dream yoga is to apprehend the dream - and then
dissolve the dream state.
When deprived of physical and conceptual stimulus from the dreaming mind, you can
observe the purest form of conscious awareness.
One very broad but basic rule is this: continually compare your dreams to waking
reality and know what it feels like to be conscious. This will increase your self
awareness and you will find it easier to induce lucidity in dreams.
Here's an example of a dream yoga technique. If you already practice lucid dreaming,
you'll find it familiar because dream recall is the key to lucid dreaming which ever
way you look at it.
Dream Recollection
Every time you wake up, reflect on all the dreams you can remember. In Tibetan
Buddhism, it's believed that the ego travels about during sleep - revisiting places we
have been to in real life, and repeating all our experiences.
So it's important to meditate upon your latest dreams and recollections. Stay
completely still while you do this, because the "dream body" is disturbed by physical
movement and the memories are lost.
As you meditate on your dreams, repeat the mantra: RAOM GAOM, accentuating
the O and splitting each word into two syllables. This will help focus your awareness
on memories from the unconscious.
Further Reading
To learn more about dream yoga, I recommend The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and
Sleep by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. Unlike many other books on the subject, Tenzin is
clear and concise and offers lots of practical examples.
This book is aimed at beginners to dream yoga, starting with the nature of dreams
and their relationship with reality. He also emphasizes how you can incorporate
dream yoga into your daily life and reap the rewards of this profound lucid dreaming
practice.

The Anatomy of a Dreaming Supplement
A lot has happened in the last 5 months. But how did we go from business as usual to

How to remember your dreams
To lucid dream, I recommend being able to remember at least one vivid dream per
night. That will boost your self awareness in dreams (making lucidity more likely) and
also means you can actually remember your lucid dreams. Which is nice. Here are
four detailed tips on how to remember your dreams more frequently. And if you
don't think you dream at all - trust me, you almost certainly do. It takes an
extraordinarily rare sleep disorder to deprive someone of dream sleep.

What Do Lucid Dreams Feel Like?
Years ago, before I had my first lucid dream, I had a very specific idea about what a
lucid dream would feel like. I thought it would be intense and magical and a little bit
spooky. This turned out to be a pretty accurate representation. Becoming aware in
the dreamstate is like entering another world. One where physical laws can be
manipulated (there is no spoon, Neo) and your fantasies can come true in an instant.
There's definitely something magical about that - and it's as if the lucid dream world
is a living, breathing organism that can react to your very thoughts.

How to have amazing lucid dreams
Experts agree that everyone is capable of having lucid dreams. Dreaming itself is a
normal function of the mind. We all dream every night, even if we don't remember.
And we all achieve conscious awareness while awake every single day. So what does
it mean to combine these states? Why, the amazing ability to have conscious - or
lucid - dreams. Sounds simple, doesn't it? So why do I keep hearing from people who
say they can't achieve their first lucid dream?
