Dream Yoga: More Than Lucid Dreaming
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2014
- Dream yoga in Buddhism came about as a way to prepare for death. When you know how to wake up in your dreams, you transform sleep into a window to the deepest experiences of reality. In this short introductory video, dream yoga expert Andrew Holecek offers a brief background into what dream yoga is. He explains how people that meditate regularly have more lucid dreams. And you'll be given some techniques to induce lucid dreams. He also talks about some of the fun things you are able to do with dream yoga, such as fly or walk through walls. For a more in depth exploration of dream yoga, check out his 6 CD set on dream yoga sold by Sounds True.
Please put up more videos. I keep watching this over and over. I want more. Thank you.
Can you please upload the next lecture? I really appreciate this, thank you so much!! It's a request, also to please upload the next lecture. 🙏
This is so great! 0:00 intro 8:17 is where the resolutions are stated to facilitate lucid dreams
Just started my lucid dream training. I have been interested in dreams my entire life but I never looked into any type of information on it. Now that i am looking into it it is reconfirming many conclusions i have come to and it is opening so many doors i did not see possible. Very excited to practice the rest of my life!
Are you still practicing my friend?
I m reading your book right now!!!
Its so amazing, thank you so much!!!❤❤
Thank you, Andrew for making this simple to understand.
Articulated and explained so very well. Thank you!
This talk is sooo perfect. Thank you for what you teach us!
A very sincere, eloquent, illuminating talk. Thank you.
Thank you Andrew. Reading Dreams of Light right now and feeling my sense of self getting reformatted at a fundamental level. : )
Incredible! Well done this is the first time I have heard this for the general public, a true treasure!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
so packed with wisdom, extremely helpful and will be checking out andrew's audiobook on dream yoga, thanks
Great video. It's interesting I have experienced and experiencing much of what you speak of without having read about dream yoga. It is putting nice words to much of my experience. Thanks
What a treasure i have found, Homage and Namaskara to The Guru
15:42 one of the best analogies of our multidimensional nature I have ever heard.
Good presentation, thank you. I used to meditate and have profound lucid dreams when going back to bed after 5am morning meditations. I read the Tibetan Book Dead and subsequently Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche books. I was trained for years in Gurdijev/Ouspensky School, I am not a Buddhist but rather Jungian. I believe dreams can access inner guidance and the experience of empty, vibrant consciousness devoid of thoughts but full of wisdom. If this could be extended to our "waking" life we would not need any therapies for happiness. This instant teaching is invaluable, it gives more than is accessible in Tenzin books.
Hi, I am lucid dreamer as well, and meditation is important to me, what about out of body experiences, have you had it?
Lying down on the right side. Pinch off R channels but open L channels. Best position. Same position as Buddha when he died.
@@SI-ln6tc Are you speaking from experience or purely theory? because I find that lying face up works best for me.
@@penguin0101 It was from a Tibetan yogi. It was on TH-cam somewhere. Forget where.
Lying on back works too.
Andrew! I am ecstatic to see this video up! I took Andrew's dream yoga retreat a few years back, and am still working with the highly relevant techniques today. It always helps me so much to hear these teachings, so grateful to see them posted! :)
Can you specify other techniques also, it will be a huge help🙏, it's a request. Also any other sources of the techniques? Please respond
@@pritam9645 You won t get any response........... you know this I guess ....
I was about to go sleep, but your first sentence captivated me.
I'm going to include this in my practice.
Thank you very much.
You're so welcome! I'm happy to hear you'll be including this in your practice.
@@andrewholecek Are you for real? I wanna get in contact pls.
Thank you so much Andrew Rimpoche!!!
You have gained a new life long fan today.
This is my falling a sleep go-to video. Love it. I often become lucid after. I must have listened to it 100 times. But where is the daytime talk?
Enjoying the talk. I practiced with good instructions.i had many dreams every night,but no lucid Dreams. I got advice to work on a stable Meditation.
Thank you. Starting this tonight.
It was an extreme pleasure listening to your presentation! You are very knowledgeable and it shows, and your enthusiasm brought it to life! Thank you very much!!
This is great!Thank you.
lucid dreaming is a skill i would love to learn
I learned about the goal of attaining awareness in the three states and am very excited to begin to utilize dreams as a skillfull means to see deeper levels of reality and expand my awareness. Thank you for this amazing information! Much respect and reverance for Tibetan wisdom.
Gaaaahhhhhh!
This video found me at the EXACT right time!
I've had insomnia for a very long time. I just now have started getting back into actually sleeping. The medication that I'm taking extends the hypnagogic state. This is the first time in over 9 years that I have experienced all that is in that phase. Instead of this being a light trip into slumber, it turned into a journey.
I used to experience this state every single night. It was part of my practice, part of my lucid dreaming, and part of who I was. After all of this time I've become so unfamiliar with it and it makes me realize that it's not just the practice that I have become unfamiliar with.
Wow wow wow. I just now started reconnecting with myself over the past 3 years. My spiritual journey is back on course... It's humbling to know that there is still work to be done.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. This is very eye-opening.
Thank you for this.
So glad I discovered this
I saw this video years ago and I had it open in a tab for a few days because I wanted to watch it again. In the meantime, I had a lucid dream in which in front of a door, I was unable to go through it (passing through it when it was closed) and for the first time I "felt" the surface of an object with the touch of my hands. It was shocking to hear about this very thing now that I've rewatched the video!
There is nothing more dual than awareness of the tree!
I love dream yoga 👌🏼
i am impressed, this explanation is even better than Dr Nida Chenagtsang and i didnt think anyone could explain better than him
Brilliant, Thank you for bringing clarification, direction, purpose and depth to something that could be experienced as a playing rather than an opportunity for enlightenment. If you have any further viewing recommendations please post them, there are many people that would benefit deeply form your knowledge and guidance.
Thanks for the kind words, perhaps look at Night Club, our recently crafted platform that includes many additional bits of information.
Andrew Holecek Thank you for the reply and direction 🙏
I never heard of this. Wow
We are in waking most asleep simply because awareness of the body overwhelms awareness of the subtle levels of being. BUT, the waking state and the body itself are priceless in that it is only through the embodied condition that we can "wake up" to our truest selves.
I have suffered from sleep awareness and lucid dreams my entire life. I can’t believe anyone would want to learn to do it. be careful because it doesnt go away and you’ll never feel well rested again
Thats true...I always thought they have it all backwards...the waking dream is the most asleep= true.
Nice talk ❤Thx❤
Thanks Andrew from your information. I am reading your book about dream yoga.I have lucid dreams, practice WILD i got into the dream aware ( the feeling is like falling in parachute), no stay too long, and sometimes I just aware into the dream. But I have had some experiences called astral projection, some people say they are the same ( astral projection and lucid dreams). My feeling instead of sinking is going up, detached from my physical body. What do you think about it? .Thanks again
Excellent.
Great video!
Love your books, thanks for putting them out there it really helped
Yes. He gave a nice presentation but if you want to go deeper read Robert Waggoners book Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Innerself. In it he shows how you can shout out to the consciousness BEHIND the dream and communicate with it just as you would a dream character and much more effectively. Seriously. This book has made inroads into peoples lucid dreamng. Also check out the Lucid Dreaming magazine on google.
Robert G that’s what andrew’s book dream yoga is about. This is just a 17 minute talk.
Thank you.
❤ i did meditation n i had twice lucid dream
Wow! Andrew teaches so clearly...would love to hear the rest of the weekend. Can these videos be found somewhere on youtube? thank you
Excellent 👌
Thank you Andrew! What a wonderful profound teachings! Where Can I listen to more of your teachings?;-)Much Thanks! Shuny Hollander
All his books and talks are on TH-cam free.
Dear Andrew, Thank you so much for your Dream Yoga book. I have a question regarding a recurring experience that I have. I have experimented off and on for many years the idea of leaving the body. I sometimes visualize and try to feel my self rolling like a log as to role out of the body. Which was something I learned about from Robert Monroes tapes 25 some odd years ago. It seams that when the experience comes, I’m not rolling out of the physical body but its as if I’m dreaming then from that dream body I set my self to the task of lying down and rolling out of that body then from there I feel my self leave this dream body and with Varying lucidity I continue with the experience.. I would greatly appreciate any advice or words of wisdom regarding this. Thank you, Mark
Let LOVE guide your life. Access all levels of consciousness
I remember when I was a kid (around 7-10 yo) I had a very strong control of my dreams, I mean before going to bed, I programmed that I wanted to dream I could fly, and during those dreams I did fly, I even told this to my parents actually. And I could do it on command, all the time, like once a week. Now I'm 39 and I can't do it anymore.
BERSERK if you could do it as a kid, you’ll be able to do it easier than most as an adult.
Have you tried in the 6 months since your comment?
Does anyone have any books to recommend which can help develop 24 hour conciousness? If not, what is the way to learn?
This is a dream, enjoy it
TQ universe
I've had a few crazy experiences with this. Probably one of the more popular topics on my channel. People are waking up to this! Great video!
Please can u put an Arabic sub plz i really interesting in this thank you🌸
It's so interesting. I get this really strong urge to lucid dream maybe once a year, I then do the practices and have had some deep spiritual experiences in these states. But I find that it kind of "drains" me. The desire goes away and my mind seems to want to stay as far away from it as possible for a long time. The more powerful the lucid experience, the more my mind tends to want to retreat from it. Any idea what this might be, and is there a way to work through it?
@MT you need a therapy for lucid dreaming, as we have a therapy for other activities in our live. There is something that drains you, and it refers to you, not to the dream yoga itself.
isn't the root chakra the 4 petal lotus?
Listen to your Master self which is already postmortem, outside of time, looking backward toward itself in the flesh and calling out the wisdom of the mistake you were about to make. The path that was will be no more upon the light of influence shining from the wisdom of you own future departed essence guiding you around pitfalls which would have stagnated your primordial progression through the harmonies of existence.
❤️I love this statement.
In those 8 hours days and weeks can go by, to say to add 30 years is an understatement lol
What’s the book 📕 you mentioned at 15:13 please?
If we are more asleep here in waking reality, which I understand and agree with, then stepping down consciousness [to dreaming levels] is a misnomer - we are stepping “up” our consciousness. And I think that semantics game matters here; matters a lot actually.
🙏😀👌 thanks 🙏👌😁
Hi...
I'm from India....
Where I can learn this 6 yogas of Naropa....
Plz guide....
🙏
The Greek god family tree was mixed up but the jist is similar. Nxy and Erebus (night and darkness) had twins Hypnos and Thanatos (Sleep and peaceful death) . Hypnos and Pasithea (relaxation) have the oneiroi (dreams) Morpheus, Phobetor and Phantasos. They're personifications of different kinds of dreams.
14:00 lucidity can lead to what super what? And what is it?
I have been trying a number of techniques available on TH-cam to have lucid dreams; but none of them worked for me. I usually have bad dreams like being chased by animals etc. I never tried this technique. Let me try it from tonight till the next seven days. I'll come back again with a comment.
Dream yoga advanced techniques work instantly if you are a mediator
Thank you so much. Not sure what a mediator mean but I don't think I am one. I would be grateful if you could recommend any particular video.
Perdon me! This is a very interesting talk but I think you made a mistake concerning the greek mythologie! Hypnos (sleep) and Thanatos (death) are Twin brothers not Morpheus and Thanatos! Morpheus ( god of prophetic dreams ) is the son of Hypnos and Nyx ( night goddess)
You are right, and it's annoying because I got that "reference" from a source that, as you point out, was inaccurate. My bad, always pays to do multiple checks, everything in print is not always right.
Andrew Holecek He’s right except the part about Nyx, she was Hypnos mother not wife... great vid 👌🏻
Where is the video from the next day?
♥️🙏♥️
Im a bit confused with dream yoga. Are you supposed to see waking reality as fake like for example the world around us. Or should we see reality as fake or maybe yourself as fake/temporarily. How in simple terms should you practice it. Or go about doing it. Im reading your book now
GOOD
I did not attempt to touch the wall I're making the transition made
technique 9:00
What if one gets too deep in dream that one cannot get herself to wake up???!
Then you need a "kick".
Have you not seen inception???
That doesnt happen. You will wake up.
Read The WILD Way To Lucid Dreaming by Slider.
Can I change my future through Dream yoga ?
No
Transparent thought , best thought
Bouddhism...I found it interesting and fascinating for many years.
Although there is a lot of doctrines and dogma into it. Which totally blocks me off.
Keep what you like, drop the rest. You have the free will!
The teachings of the Buddha are actually not dogmatic but very coherent and logical. Perhaps look into it deeper...
+DreamWizard9 You don't need to be a Buddhist to pursue Nirvana. You don't need any dogma for it at all, in fact the opposite.
There are many types of buddhism. But the basic concepts are non dogmatic. Maybe investigate Stephen Batchelor, the 'atheist buddhist'
Man, I am not able to bring this top on my phone
16.30 Does consciousness really ever turn off? Doesn’t make sense to me….
is there more of this talking?
omg this isso much like toltec dream concepts
+Ray West TOLTEC MEANS THE PEOPLE OF THE MESURE
Watch this instead for me please?
I thought the throat chakra was blue
Actually different traditions have different Chakra colors. The rainbow colors are actually a recent innovation. This is from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
We are aware of less than 99% of the contents of our minds. So, 97-98%?
Where is part 2?
my power to recall dreams is amazing. i have vivid memories from age 3. i can recall most of my childhood. my first lucid dream was at age 4: i am in a sewer tunnel looking for the ninja turtles when i become lucid and proceed to explore the tunnels. lol. also my first memory is from age 3 and is of what assume is a past life: i'm a young child in a train station in what must have been the 1890's or early 1900's i cannot find my mother and panic sets in. i'm terrified.
Rose Gann-Kelly can you lucid dream whenever you want?
So you didn't actually explain how dream yoga is different from lucid dreaming. Seems to me it's the same thing, just called a different name by different people.
I spent 10 years preparing to turn my dreams into an art machine, awake, in this world. my diamond dogs are waiting for my glorious arrival. all you freaking people are on notice. get gud. the internet is on your doorstep. i am a blighthouse. if you can't conjure your dreams as multimedia, you're merely messin around, like xbox
Wanted to get tips on lucid dreaming. Got lots of unproven bullshit about chakras and feminine left sides of the body... Urghh :/
Surely you must have realised that on a dream yoga video you'll be given a Buddhist perspective? Try searching for lucid dreaming.
*****
The most well known system of chakras is Hindu in origin, but there is also a rough equivalent of chakras in Tibetan Buddhism. The number of energy centres is different though.
*****
Yes that's true.
+SunlightPorfear It's Tibetan Buddhist. Why are you so defensive? I do not believe any other type of Buddhism has a "dream yoga," and I believe he has an audience where this doesn't have to be explained. I'm also personally skeptical that you have a good grasp of what Gautama Buddha said about "such terms".
Maybe I'm the one being defensive. ;) Holecek has a good grasp of the Tibet tradition, and he does cite scientific research from people like LaBerge in his books. I personally like his approach better than Morley's, whose young and kind of anti-supplement. Visualizing the tracing of a red lotus at your throat chakra is very much based on Tibetan tradition, but it is a very practical exercise to start with.
A woman was in coma for 20 years, then she woke up from her 'lucid dreams' and thought that she was still a teenager.
- Forget about 'lucid dreams', and get your self a good nights sleeep.
When we fall at sleep, then we do move or transfer our Day-consciousness, to the Night-bodies, (Deep-sleep-periods), one by one, through the 'transfer-body'.
The 'transfer-body' is where we experience NDE, OBE, REM-sleep/dreams, or stay all night if you cant fall really at sleep.
So, leave this idea with 'lucid dreams', - in the end it will make you a emotional wreck, on cost of your Intelligence-development.
Good dreams are heaven, bad dreams are hell, no dreams are purgatory. We die when we sleep and that’s literal - not faith based woo woo.
A judgmental world with no time, no pain, and no physics. The universal and cross religious consensus for mechanics of the afterlife - overarching each religious tradition
If somebody isn't suffering any psychic harassment, maybe just need to improve healthy food to adjust the perception, since the person is studying and practicing all this techniques you already know... Maybe understand better how projetciology works can help...
8:50
I don't meditate and I frequently have lucid dreams.
This guy is wrong tho cuz we sleep for 8 hours but we only dream for 2
This is very interesting but something about his voice annoys me. I dont like when people explain complicated things too quickly, and lower their voice when they are making a pertinent point, which is what he does. Very annoying.
Incredibly basic.
