Editorial Reviews

Review

“A clear and fascinating book that contains drawings, visualizations, and explanations in the true and deep Dzogchen tradition. It will help readers to see the dream state and reality as one, providing illuminating nondual evidence and encouraging them to stay in a relaxed, natural state of oneness.”– “Daniel Odier, author of Yoga Spandakarika”

“I warmly recommend this book to anyone interested in the transformative practice of dream yoga. Rooted in authentic Buddhist teachings, Dzogchen Dream Yoga illuminates the path to recognizing the illusory nature of experience in dreams and waking life. With clarity and precision, it guides readers through a progressive range of exercises to help them develop their own dream yoga practice. It is an elegant, practical guide for anyone drawn to exploring the relatively unknown potential of sleep and dreams on the path to awakening.”– “Anna Howard, author of Quest for the Enlightened Feminine”

“In Dzogchen Dream Yoga, the authors present very simple, clear, and practical instructions on how to work with the illusory nature of life that characterizes not only dreams but waking reality as well. The two authors, who are Dzogchen masters, skillfully show us how to gain and maintain continuous awareness in the dream state, which forms the basis for higher level dream yoga practices. This is a rare gem for learning and mastering the nature of dreamtime.”– “Johndennis Govert, author of Spiral Dragon Dharma Gate”

“The poet Novalis wrote, ‘We are close to waking when we dream that we are dreaming.’ As both a shamanic dreamwork instructor and dream yoga initiate, I believe this book demonstrates the potential of Indo-Tibetan dream yoga to bring freedom, joy, and enlightenment. One third of our lives is spent sleeping–we can use this time for spiritual awakening! Since the dawn of humankind, shamans have explored dreams; now, the practice of dream yoga, as elucidated by these two masters of the art, can guide us to the realization of the dreamlike nature of reality. This volume is a powerful achievement in our collective dream, both traditional and modernized into a concise form. My heartfelt gratitude to the authors.”– “Kevin B. Turner ( ), director for Asia of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies a”
