Dream and sleep yoga foundations
Dream and sleep yoga are supportive practices in Dzogchen that extend awareness into the night. They prepare practitioners to recognize rigpa during dreaming, deep sleep, and ultimately the transition of death.
Deep sleep
Awareness during sleep and dreaming
For advanced Dzogchen practitioners, awareness is not limited to waking life. Sleep and dreaming become opportunities for continuous recognition of rigpa, extending practice across all states of being.
Signs of stabilization in practice
In Dzogchen, early glimpses of rigpa are fragile and easily lost. Stabilization means that recognition of awareness becomes continuous, effortless, and integrated into all states of being.
