I was re-reading a chapter of EWLD during lunch today and was really struck by this quote from Tarthang Tulku.

Take some time to read this through a couple of times and meditate on it. See how many of you can identify with what he said:

With continued practice, we see less and less difference between waking and dream state. Our experiences in waking life become more vivid and varied, the result of a lighter and more refined awareness...This kind of awareness, based on dream practice, can help create an inner balance. Awareness nourishes the mind in a way that nurtures the whole living organism. Awareness illuminates previously unseen facets of the mind, and lights the way for us to explore ever-new dimensions of reality.
