The Wisdom Between Wake And Dream
There's great wisdom and transitional realms between wakefulness and sleep. Right before you fall asleep, what thoughts and ideas come to you? How do you feel when you wake from a dream?
And the wisdom tradition of Tibetan, dream, yoga, among others, lamas say the dream state is just as real – or unreal – as the waking state. p64
Keeping a dream journal may be of use… As you write, the picture will develop and you'll remember more of the story, more of the setting, more of the details than you did when you first set your pen into paper. The more you do this practice, morning after morning, the better you will get a recall in your dreams. It may also help to set an intention to remember your dreams before going to sleep. p64-65
- interesting to think that by writing, we expose more of the dream state to the waking state. Not surprising, as once a story begins to unfold, you can kind of get swept along with it
