He goes beyond the practices of lucid dreaming that have been popularized in the West by presenting methods for guiding dream states that are part of a broader system for enhancing self-awareness called \u003ci\u003eDzogchen\u003c\/i\u003e. In this tradition, the development of lucidity in the dream state is understood in the context of generating greater awareness for the ultimate purpose of attaining liberation.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis revised and expanded edition includes additional material from a profound and personal Dzogchen book, which Chögyal Namkhai Norbu wrote over many years. This material deepens the first edition's emphasis on specific exercises to develop awareness within the dream and sleep states. Also included in this book is a text written by Mipham, the nineteenth-century master of Dzogchen, which offers additional insights into this extraordinary form of meditation and awareness.\"A personal and inspiring account of the higher possibilities of sleep and dreams by an acknowledged master. Must reading for dreamers in search of awakening.\"—Stephen LaBerge, PhD, director of the Lucidity Institute and author of \u003ci\u003eLucid Dreaming \u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche is one of the greatest Tibetan meditation masters and scholars teaching in the West today. His luminous Dream Yoga teachings are invaluable for anyone interested in Buddhist practices and views on dreaming and the afterlife. These profound and liberating wisdom teachings from the ancient Dzogchen tradition of Tibet provide new perspectives on this life, on the nature of reality, and on the nature of consciousness and mind. I myself read this book with great interest and recommend it to my own students.\"—Lama Surya Das, founder of the Dzogchen Foundation and author of \u003ci\u003eAwakening the Buddha\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The new edition is sufficiently different from the already pivotal previous version to warrant purchasing it and working seriously with its contents. In the current edition, Rinpoche, who has had clear abilities in dream practices since his youth, expands his initial commentary on the 'practice of the night' with more specific explanations drawn from an intimate and detailed Dzogchen manuscript he has been writing for many years.\"—\u003ci\u003eThe Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Provides a valuable practice to help calm the mind in lucid dreaming states so that we can truly deepen our awareness. \u003ci\u003eDream Yoga \u003c\/i\u003eis not just about awakening in the dream state, but also bringing it together with our non-dream awareness as well.\"—Nate DeMontigny, \u003ci\u003ePrecious Metal\u003c\/i\u003eChögyal Namkhai Norbu is a Tibetan master of the Dzogchen tradition.
