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.
Reduces fear
Dzogchen view in challenging circumstances
Difficult circumstances—illness, loss, conflict, or fear—are unavoidable in life. In Dzogchen, these are not seen as obstacles but as opportunities to deepen recognition of awareness.
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.
