Sleep & Dream
Meditation Training
When practitioners get serious enough about achieving unwavering joy, they begin to make use of their sleep and dreams. Normal practitioners attempt to use every moment of their waking life. Super practitioners develop the ability to meditate during dream and even dreamless sleep states. Learn how to develop this ability, and to share these practices with others.
