Original and authentic - By: H. Gilbert, 17 Sep 2006 
There are many books on dream yoga on the market. However, this one is the only one, that I know, that also deals with sleep yoga, the state of consciousness beyond dreaming.
Metaphysics is a difficult subject to write about. Tenzin Wangyal is to be congratulatedin writing so clearly, originally & authentically. This is no dry book with only theories, but comes from a man who was born for the role. It carries many personal anecdotes to illustrate his eminently practical approach.
Remarkably well-written and informative. - By: , 03 Apr 1999 Even for a seasoned lucid dreamer like myself, this book was highly usefulin offering traditional Tibetan practices for lucid dream induction, as well as various suggestions for activities to attempt within a fully lucid dream. However, what is most amazing about this book is its instructions for abiding as the pure, empty Awareness (rigpa) that is our true Self. As a Zen Buddhist, I am quite familiar with maintaining this "mirror-mind," but I usually cannot maintain it for very long, & I've never held it past the dream stage, into deep dreamless sleep. The practicesin this book are helping me to change all that. Maintaining meditation practice during sleep--literally 24 hours a day--accelerates things profoundly. When the gross, manifest world of spacetime has dissolved into the subtle realm of souls & dreaming, & when even that realm has dissolved into Emptiness, your truest self shines forth clearly as the one & only Mind behind all illusory manifestation. Truly, the awareness within you that is right now reading these words is the Buddha. Your true nature is absolutely vast, silent, empty, blissful, & timeless Consciousness as Such--the source & substance of all that seems to exist. When you become identified with this Consciousness, your true Self, & not merely with the deluded, individual mind (or ego), you find yourselfin a state of constant consciousness--never blinking, never fading, 24 hours a day--remaining completely "awake" even during dreaming & deep sleep. You'll have discovered your true Home--the Home you've never left, the Home you couldn't possibly leave, but a Home that you refused to admit you werein while you suffered for lifetimesin this silly dream.
Fantastic Book - extremely well written - By: , 20 Jan 1999 Even though this book is about dream & sleep Yoga it contains one of the best - non-technical, non dogmatic explanations of karma I have ever read. It also has a great explanation of non-duality. The entire book is written in an exceptionally clear manner with wonderful explanations & a great glossary. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
