I have always had vivid dreams and a rich dreamlife. In periods I have been able to awake myself in my dream state and tell myself that I was dreaming, that’s funny, but not in the meaning of awakening up from my sleep, I just told myself in my dream state that I was dreaming and continued to sleep. I have also been able to intentionally continue dreams the next night, or able to remember my dream from the previous night when I lay down for sleep, its feels like unlocking a doorway to the dream state or if I become still during the day, sense my body I usually can enter a place where I feel/see my dream from the night. Then I have had dreams where I felt they were connected with my spirituality and meditation, with symbols, messages, nature scenery, dreams which have felt a lot more awake and real than my physical awaken state.
16 years ago I was signed up to participate in a course with a tibetan lama, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche prior to the course I had been traveling for 5 weeks participating in different buddhistic retreats in Europe, so when I came to Copenhagen and went to the retreat venue, I felt immensely tired, that I decided to take a rest instead of having another course, before traveling back to my family in Greenland.
So since then I have wanted to participate in that course I didn’t take at that time, “The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep” by Ten Wangyal Rinpoche. So lately I have been meditating Bön Buddhism meditation regularly, mornings and evening to see if I felt ready to commit to the meditation work, which is both during day and night. I have been meditating within a Bön buddhist group years ago, so its familiar to me.
This is a short resume about what it is about : The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep are advanced Bön and Buddhist practices designed to cultivate continuous awareness. Practitioners learn to maintain mindfulness through both the illusion of dreaming and the void of deep sleep, ultimately using these states to dismantle attachments, recognize the illusory nature of reality, and achieve spiritual awakening.

this time of the year, warm colors, soft soil, plenty of fish, berries, reindeers, crisp air, winter is watching from a distance, welly time, filling up freezer, Mother Earth is generous, animals and people collecting in nature… people and traditions, not surrounded by this, these years, but my body remembers the season, the traditions, proudly…
you are enough
waiting, watching, connecting to a wellknown universe – you are sacred every moment in whatever you do and are, thinking it has to be in a certain way, ceremonially or a specific place, let go of that, every moment is our medicine, awaken, alive, in our heart there is nothing to do or be or…
