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!
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.
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.
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! :)
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!
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.
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
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!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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
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.
Tuesday night I dropped to Turiya or Turiyatita then woke up immediately as I noticed. During the day in yesterday's nap my dreams were Lucid. Tonight I couldn't sleep.
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
I have been trying a number of techniques available on UA-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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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...
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.
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. 🙏
Please put up more videos. I keep watching this over and over. I want more. Thank you.
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 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.
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.
What a treasure i have found, Homage and Namaskara to The Guru
Gaaaahhhhhh!
This video found me at the EXACT right time!

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?
Good presentation, thank you. I used to meditate and have profound lucid dreams when going back to bed after 5am morning meditations.

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 UA-cam somewhere. Forget where.
Lying on back works too.
A very sincere, eloquent, illuminating talk. Thank you.
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.
This talk is sooo perfect. Thank you for what you teach us!
Thank you Andrew. Reading Dreams of Light right now and feeling my sense of self getting reformatted at a fundamental level. : )
15:42 one of the best analogies of our multidimensional nature I have ever heard.
so packed with wisdom, extremely helpful and will be checking out andrew's audiobook on dream yoga, thanks
Articulated and explained so very well. Thank you!
You have gained a new life long fan today.
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.

Thank you, Andrew for making this simple to understand.
lucid dreaming is a skill i would love to learn
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!
Thank you so much Andrew Rimpoche!!!
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 🙏
Thats true...I always thought they have it all backwards...the waking dream is the most asleep= true.
Nice talk ❤Thx❤
I m reading your book right now!!!
Its so amazing, thank you so much!!!❤❤
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
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!!
❤ i did meditation n i had twice lucid dream
There is nothing more dual than awareness of the tree!
i am impressed, this explanation is even better than Dr Nida Chenagtsang and i didnt think anyone could explain better than him
I love dream yoga 👌🏼
Thank you. Starting this tonight.
Does anyone have any books to recommend which can help develop 24 hour conciousness? If not, what is the way to learn?
Great video!
Love your books, thanks for putting them out there it really helped
I never heard of this. Wow
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.
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.
Wow! Andrew teaches so clearly...would love to hear the rest of the weekend. Can these videos be found somewhere on youtube? thank you
Thank you for this.
Hi...

wonderful! incredible!! helpful!!! thank you.
have you read The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda? i'm curious what you would think about it 🙏🏼
Let LOVE guide your life. Access all levels of consciousness
This is great!Thank you.

What’s the book 📕 you mentioned at 15:13 please?
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 UA-cam free.
Can you practice Dream Yoga if you have insomnia or use sleep aids?
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.

Excellent 👌
Excellent.
Buddhism was birthed out of Hinduism which is a very scientific body of language also ❤ A Course in Miracles is a great book 📕
In those 8 hours days and weeks can go by, to say to add 30 years is an understatement lol
Please can u put an Arabic sub plz i really interesting in this thank you🌸

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?
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.
Transparent thought , best thought
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
Interesting. What is difficult for you about being aware of dreaming?
Where is the video from the next day?
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.

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.
🙏😀👌 thanks 🙏👌😁
14:00 lucidity can lead to what super what? And what is it?

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)

Andrew Holecek He’s right except the part about Nyx, she was Hypnos mother not wife... great vid 👌🏻
Can I change my future through Dream yoga ?
No
Read The WILD Way To Lucid Dreaming by Slider.
🙏
omg this isso much like toltec dream concepts
+Ray West TOLTEC MEANS THE PEOPLE OF THE MESURE
is there more of this talking?
16.30 Does consciousness really ever turn off? Doesn’t make sense to me….
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'.

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'
GOOD
♥️🙏♥️
Man, I am not able to bring this top on my phone
Watch this instead for me please?
I did not attempt to touch the wall I're making the transition made
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.
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.
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
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
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?
If buddhists believe in reincarnation then why prepare too much for death? Am i the only one bemused by this ?
Cuz we don’t wanna get a rebirth in the realms of suffering , we wanna go beyond the enlightenment to escape from this samsara
We are aware of less than 99% of the contents of our minds. So, 97-98%?
Where is part 2?
I don't meditate and I frequently have lucid dreams.
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...
This guy is wrong tho cuz we sleep for 8 hours but we only dream for 2
Incredibly basic.
