Dream Wisdom: Embedded in Buddhist Psychology, Philosophy, and the Dream Yoga (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788793289253)

Dream Wisdom is the first in a series based on Tarab Rinpoche's lectures, workshops, interviews, and UD training. It contains his insights on utilising ancient dream wisdom for personal development, engaging in lucid dreams, and harnessing the dream state as a platform for accessing and cultivating the spiritual dimension of conscious existence. With Tarab Tulku Rinpoche's insight, the reader is presented with an exceptional theoretical framework and practical methods that bridge everyday psychological experiences, providing a gateway to the broader spiritual domain.Dr Tarab Rinpoche drew his knowledge and inspiration from the pre-Buddhist Indo-Tibetan Shamanistic and Tantric Dream Yoga tradition, which originated in ancient Buddhist and pre-Buddhist spiritual traditions in which he was brought up and educated. The clear explanations, down-to-earth methods, steering free from cultural and religious trappings, make this approach to ancient wisdom relevant and applicable to contemporary life and people of modern cultures everywhere in the world.The Indo-Tibetan dream work presented in this context differs from modern dream work. Rather than focusing on interpreting content or symbols, it emphasises conscious mastery of the profound dream body (sixth-mind body) when lucid in the dream state, allowing for direct and deliberate interaction with dream appearances, utilising knowledge and expertise from the original dream world. Dream Wisdom is primarily designed to empower ourselves by enhancing our resilience through reconnection at increasingly subtle and deeper levels with the innate inner strength and body-mind resources with which we were born, for which the dream state provides an exceptional platform. This dream work also offers a pathway toward transforming embedded psychological patterns, allowing greater mental and emotional well-being to emerge, and opening the possibility of entering a spiritual level of existence by implementing the universal principles of the Indo-Tibetan Dream Yoga instructions.Presented clearly and concisely, Dream Wisdom offers people from modern cultures an accessible way to apply dream work to their own lives, appreciating its connections with contemporary science. The dream work presented in the Dream Wisdom is accessible to serious spiritual practitioners and those who may not consider themselves particularly spiritually minded. Dream Wisdom explores the interrelations between the body-mind states and corresponding realities that saturate the UD training with clear and transparent insights unique to Tarab Rinpoche. For instance, he argued for the necessity of continuous grounding, whether in the physical body through its sensations when awake, in the dream body through its sensations when dreaming, or in any of the bodies of the meditation states, for mastering and adequately dealing with their corresponding realities.
