This is part one of a three-part series on cultivating a dream yoga practice.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I am standing on a stage introducing Eric Clapton\u2014who is very late. This particular night he will be performing Metallica songs for a group of people standing in someone\u2019s front yard. As he sits down at the drums to begin, I\u2019m worried. It\u2019s really very late for Eric Clapton to be playing on a Tuesday, but who am I to kick him off stage? But there\u2019s something else bothering me\u2026<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t Eric Clapton play the guitar, not the drums? And why<\/em> is he here at midnight on a Tuesday? And\u2014more to the point\u2014why am I<\/em> here? And then it dawns on me\u2026 I\u2019m dreaming. I\u2019m dreaming!<\/p>\n

And then the fun begins.<\/p>\n

Shall I: a)<\/strong> sit down and meditate, b)<\/strong> fly to the moon, c)<\/strong> ask Eric Clapton for career advice, or d)<\/strong> put my hands on my head and heal my migraines?<\/p>\n

This is the practice of lucid dreaming (or dream yoga in Buddhism)\u2014where we become awake within our dreams, and the conscious mind gets to play with the unconscious mind for spiritual advancement, self-discovery, healing, and fun.<\/p>\n

“…one minute of meditation in a lucid dream is the equivalent of a 30-day retreat” \u2013 Charlie Morley<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For centuries Toltecs, Tantrics<\/a>, Sufis, Gnostic Christians, shamans, Aborigines, and Tibetan Buddhists have practiced lucid dreaming. It is only recently, however, that the scientific community has started to accept\u2014and embrace\u2014the practice as being more than the \u201cwild\u201d claims of spiritual traditions.<\/p>\n

In the late 1970s and 1980s scientific studies<\/a> began to emerge confirming that there is<\/em> a dream state that differs from REM\u2014and<\/em> one that looks as if dreamers may be awake while asleep. Since then, scientists and psychologists<\/a> have begun to explore lucid dreaming and its potential for altering the waking experiences of the mind and body. Could a lucid dreaming practice reduce PTSD<\/a> in returning soldiers, or help end addictions? Some scientists suggest yes. Dream yogis say absolutely<\/em>. Could it also improve performance<\/a> in the workplace or for athletes, dancers, and musicians? It\u2019s a possibility say scientists. Practitioners say it’s a reality.<\/p>\n

Waking Up in the Dream<\/h3>\n

Charlie Morley<\/a> is an unlikely world-renowned teacher of dream yoga. He was a hip-hop rapper and managed a breakdancing company that worked with disadvantaged children when he came to the practice. While he had had lucid dreams as a child and during his teens, his experience of them had mostly been unintentional and purely recreational. \u201cIn those years I had no idea dream yoga was a high spiritual practice. To be honest, I was just trying to practice lucid dreaming in order to have sex, and to fly about. Plus it was better than most of my psychedelic experiences,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

But by age 19, when Charlie became a Buddhist, he began practicing dream yoga in earnest as part of his spiritual path. Six years later, at just 25 years of age, he was authorized by Lama Yeshe Rinpoche<\/a> to become a teacher of the practice. Since then he has traveled the world learning from others and teaching the techniques and benefits of lucid dreaming.<\/p>\n

Why Get Lucid?<\/h3>\n

Most of us will experience a lucid dream at least once in our lives. Becoming awake within a nightmare and deliberately waking ourselves up is an experience shared by many. Another common experience is a fleeting realization of being in a dream.<\/p>\n

Dream yoga, and its practice, seeks to bring this lucidity to every<\/em> dream\u2014and<\/em> to maintain it. Through practice the dreamer can in fact choose how to act or react within a dream for extended periods of time and at will. \u201cWe have five dream cycles a night, and each has multiple dream sequences. Of those, we may remember just one dream every now and again, and very rarely will we become lucid. That\u2019s a lot of our time spent in dreams of which we are completely unaware of\u2014but with practice we can change that,\u201d says Charlie.<\/p>\n

But of what use is to become lucid in a dream? According to practitioners of dream yoga, the lucid dream is where the conscious mind gets not only to explore but also to use<\/em> the unconscious mind. Given that some neuroscientists suggest that as much as 95 percent of our brain activity is unconscious<\/a>, a whole new world opens up.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Dream as a Path<\/h3>\n

There are a myriad of things to do once there, but Charlie points to four main uses. The first is healing. Be it emotional or physical, many lucid dreamers claim to have healed themselves of unhealthy thought patterns or physical ailments by working in their dreams. \u201cSay you have a phobia of spiders,\u00a0and have a dream about them. If you are able to become lucid, you would realize that the spider cannot harm you at all\u2014because it’s just a dream. As a result maybe you play with the spider or ignore it. But the brain cannot discern between a ‘dream’ spider and a ‘real’ spider. So by practicing in a dream to accept spiders, we are also reprogramming the mind to release our phobia when we then\u00a0wake up,\u201d explains Charlie. New neural pathways are essentially formed.<\/p>\n

Receiving advice is another practice to explore while lucid in sleep. Imagine being able to ask a question to the vast intelligence of your unconscious mind\u2014that enormous library of experience and study\u2014and receive an answer.<\/p>\n

As a spiritual pathway\u00a0lucid dreaming\u00a0is designed to allow the individual to wake up to the illusion, and to prepare for the realms beyond death. “In Buddhism, dream yoga is an opportunity to explore emptiness, and to explore beyond the mind,” says Charlie. “Meditation is how we may do this in waking life, but the Tibetan Buddhists say just one minute of meditation in a lucid dream is the equivalent of a 30-day retreat.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, finally, a dreaming<\/a> practice simply makes going to bed fun. Who wouldn’t want to fly around, walk through walls, and speak to interesting people every night?<\/p>\n

Through this three-part series Charlie will set us on the path towards being able to have\u2014or develop\u2014lucid dreams. He’ll also share his findings and teachings on how to use dream yoga for self-healing and for a deeper spiritual practice. So here is the homework for this week…<\/p>\n

1. Keep a Dream Diary<\/a><\/h3>\n

\u201cStart small and see if you can remember just one dream a night\u2014or even an image\u2014and jot down the main notes about the dream<\/a> immediately upon waking. This practice starts to train the mind to become more conscious of the dream state,\u201d says Charlie. It also will serve for our second step towards lucid dreaming next week in recognizing dream patterns.<\/p>\n

2. Work With an Affirmation<\/h3>\n

Before falling asleep, repeat this affirmation: “Tonight<\/span>, I remember my dreams. I have excellent dream recall.”<\/p>\n

3. Prepare a Calm Environment<\/h3>\n

Avoid over-stimulation before bedtime<\/a> and definitely avoid drugs. \u201cThe best thing to do is meditate for about 20 minutes before bed to get the mind prepared, but at the very least commit to winding down before bedtime, and turning off the phone,\u201d says Charlie.<\/p>\n

4. Increase Vitamin B Intake<\/h3>\n

Start increasing an intake of foods rich in vitamin B, such as leafy greens, bananas, and avocados<\/a>. \u201cIf you\u2019re into green juices, try drinking them closer to bedtime than to breakfast,\u201d suggests Charlie. Studies show that folic acid and vitamin B6 increase likelihood of lucidity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. Throat Chakra Meditation and Yoga<\/h3>\n

The throat chakra is the dream chakra in Tibetan Buddhism, and so to direct energy to this area as you are falling asleep or just before will raise your lucidity level. “Interestingly the brain stem is located at roughly the same place as the throat chakra, and neurologically it\u2019s the brain stem that plays a large role in creating our dreams,” points out Charlie. So this week try incorporating\u00a0throat chakra<\/a> meditations or yoga asanas that work on the throat chakra such as Matsyasana<\/a>,\u00a0Ardha Matsyendrasana<\/a>,\u00a0and shoulder stand into your regular yoga practice.<\/p>\n

Join us next week for part two of the series when we will be looking at lucid dreaming for self-healing, and further techniques to build a dream yoga practice.<\/em><\/p>\n
