At last - the real deal on dreaming. February 7, 2010
W. Paul Blakey (Sechelt, BC Canada)
Finally a book on dreaming by someone who actually knows the true nature of the mind. And you don't have to be a buddhist, or wear the cultural clothing to take advantage of the practical advice contained within its pages. There is an excellent glossary for the more technical terms, though I have to say that the guide to Tibetan pronunciation left me more mystified than illuminated. (For example: Dzogchen - Tib., rdzogs chen). How the heck is rdzogs chen any clearer than Dzogchen?
If you read carefully, you will discover a wonderful road map for the awakening mind.
A tid-bit that has already worked wonders for me is the technique of blowing blue smoke up the central channel to dispel laxity. Here's the full quote:
"The second obstacle is laxity. It manifests as an internal laziness, a lack of internal strength and clarity. When you are lax in practice, you drift around, clouded and perhaps comfortable, even while attending to the object of attention. The antidote is to visualize blue smoke slowly drifting up the central channel from the junction of the three channels (a few inches below the navel and in the center of the body) to the throat. Do not get hung up thinking of physics - where the smoke goes and if it collects and that kind of thing. Just visualize the smoke slowly moving up the central channel, as if it were already a dream."
Highly, highly recommended.

Awesome Book! April 18, 2009
H. Quade (Baltimore,MD)
This book is excellent, and rich with great wisdom and knowledge. It just doesn't teach you about mastering dreams, but also mastering sleep. It is both dream and sleep yoga in one book.
This book also help clear up some things on the belief of deity yoga, but taught me a little more on karma that other Buddhism books left out. Not I can see the misunderstanding of how many see karma as something one carries, not as a force that is like a boomerang. They mixed karmic trace for karma.That is why many need stop thinking, and meditate for understanding. As for the dream yoga, the teachings are most simple to folow and remeber, it is one's practice that needs effort. For those who do not understand true spiritul being and cosmic reality, such teachings may seem weird. For those who seek truth and true spiritual being, these teachings may make much sense, clear as crystal reflecting sun rays. This book teaches how to master dreams by starting seeing this reality as a dream, since this world is an illusion. While in sleep yoga, it teaches on how to master sleep, and prepair one for enlighten when one times come to depart from this realm in death. Sleep yoga is given as opptional teaching, on can just practice dream yoga. But it is best to learn both, so one can prepair to know what to do when death comes, if one does not want to be earthbound or reborn else where, if not as human in this realm.

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche writes on sleep yoga and dream yoga in a most profoundly informative way and detailed to be practiced upon. It is a worthwhile addition to my library and I highly recommend it to anyone who are seeking to further their spiritual practice. It is a book that one can read and study again and again.
FANTASTIC TREATMENT OF LUCIDITY AND DZOGCHEN! November 28, 2008

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
While I have little to add to the glowingly positive reviews offered here, I believe it is important to strongly ratify them. Among the scores of volumes purporting to treat this difficult and esoteric subject, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's book stands head-and-shoulders above the rest. Skillfully weaving his remarkably crystal-clear, straightforward explication of Dzogchen into the pragmatic threads of Dream Yoga method, he has created perhaps the single most informative volume to date on the subject. This book is not only mandatory for anyone seriously interested in the practical aspects of reaching and maintaining dream-state lucidity but also a striking contribution to the English literature on authentic Dzogchen. _The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep_ is a profound and classic work that must be read - and re-read many times - to be fully appreciated. The author's students are privileged indeed!
