that was gonna read one thing from this book. So there's a bunch couple of ideas I can pick through rather quickly. From Rachel. Hi there. I was wondering if I'll be offering any dream yoga retreats. Yes, I'm doing one in Spain. Come join me in a place called hidden paradise. I'm also doing one in outside of aspen in the bay or retreat center. Also, are there any scout? Oh, yeah. So there's more techy things, scholarships, volunteers. You know. I will respond to you directly behind the scenes because I don't have control over this sort of thing. If I don't host the events myself. So Rachel, I will ping you a direct response to see if I can help you with that. But instances where I'm not hosting an event, I don't have a ton of control over those. I'm a guest, but let me see what I can do for it. Okay, from Jimbo. When starting out on your dream yoga journey, is it okay to use the beginning stages of your journey to use lucid dreaming to pursue your desires and an ethical way of course, and work through your desire systems before diving deeper into the more spiritual transformative work? Is this a legitimate way to start your dream yoga practice? So should you focus just on the spiritual stuff from the beginning? It's a good question, Jim. Jimbo. Yeah, so you can totally do that. But that's not Dream Yoga. That's lucid dreaming. And again, there's nothing wrong with lucid dreaming. But this is one of the things that distinguishes lucid dreaming from Dream Yoga and if you if you are familiar with my listing of the nine stages of Dream Yoga, stage one is in fact just this, do something fun. And I think this is actually there's nothing inherently wrong with this. I often do this like before I go to work, so to speak in the dream I wake up and because I love to fly so much I love I love flying in my dreams. It's like this is the coolest thing. And so I will often just go for a little Joyride, you know, zipping around, flying through the Grand Canyon died bombing, scaring people on the streets kind of stuff. There's nothing wrong with that. But here's the deal. It's not going to wake you up. It's just entertainment. But if you're if you're confined, if you're a prisoner if you're a paraplegic, if you're literally handicapped in that regard. This type of escape is actually a very powerful thing and it should not be dismissed. I'm not dissing it at all. It has a place but it's not Dream Yoga. But the thing to understand here, Jimbo, is that wherever intention is involved, even at the level of a lucid dream, if it's not lucid, it doesn't matter. That's just the exhaustion of karma. You're not creating karma. You're exhausting it. But if you're in a lucid dream and intention is involved, karma is created. And so therefore, when you insert it in an ethical way, that's the really important thing. You know, safe, clean, fun, whatever, with with relatively pure intentions. I mean, if you go in and you're playing some wild video, you know, like, a video game, just crazy, cognitive mental game. You know, that's not the best thing. But if you're going to have some fun, you want to enjoy it. That's fine. The reason I say this is because you want to maintain a balance with your dream yoga curricula. It is a Yoga it is a practice it does take some effort. But if you try too hard, then you're going to lose the inspiration to do it. So having a little bit of fun on the front end. I do this a lot. Really. I wake up in the dream. Oh, cool, lucid dream. I do my little die bomb thing. And then I go okay, okay. Now for that then I go to work. So doing that is totally okay. Yes, it's a legitimate way to start your dream yoga practice. Yes, but it's not official Dream Yoga. It's still lucid dreaming, but that's cool. Should you focus just on the spiritual stuff? Not necessarily. I mean, if you're inspired, sure. It's great. But you know, not too tight, not too loose. Otherwise, this stuff is just like, I don't want to do this stuff. It's too much work. So have fun with it. Right? If you really enjoy and have fun, it's a cool thing. Okay. All right. In his book, The Tibetan Yogi's have dreamless sleep. This is from Marion as a one year revenue, who I interviewed back in February, January what a wonderful man. podcast is on edge of mind. He's up there. Also nightclub turns. He talks about some Saric dreams as well as dreams of clarity and their origins. Yes, he does. He also talks about dreams of clear light. So exotic dreams I get all the time. Yes, we all do. All our dreams are I'm gonna run commentary as we go through these samsara dreams are the default dream. That's just the residue of of all our samsaric thinking and patterns and whatnot. So regular standard dreams are some Slavic dreams. Can you expand on the difference? The differences between dreams of clarity and samsara dreams? Yes, I can. So again, just what I said samsara dreams are kind of like what they sound it's just your samsaric habitual patterns what are called Buck chalk Layton tendencies, just expressing themselves in dreams of clarity are they're still samsaric dreams dreams of clarity are still samsaric dreams, but they're really good ones. They're they they're they're borderline, that liminal type of dream. And met now the dreams are filled with more positive karmic traces, positive box chalk, dreams of teachers, dreams of teachings, that kind of stuff. And you will notice as you progress on your dream yoga path, because Dream Yoga was the moniker the measure of the path dreams will tell you where you are. Basically, the more you do the stuff the less samsaric dreams you have. The more dreams of clarity you have. You have less and less violent dreams bad dreams, nightmares, eventually nightmares. Stop all the bad stuff stops. That's a that's an indicator sign that your unconscious mind is being purified. You'll have more dreams of teachers more dreams of the Dharma more good dreams, more uplifted dreams. Those are dreams of clarity. Now the one dream just you don't mention I just mentioned it parenthetically, are what are called dreams of clear light. These are the highest level of dreams period until all dreaming stops at a certain point. When the unconscious mind is completely empty and exhausted the eighth consciousness when that's empty dreams stop. Dreams. That point you're not dreaming. Or another way to say it. Everything is seemed to be a dream. That's the same thing. This male scene is seen as a dream manifestation of mine. But dreams of clear light dreams are the highest form of Dream, which is where the dream is immediately mixed with the clear light. Those of you who know these terms, this is the union of generation and completion stage practice. And so for those of you who do that level of tantric practice, you can measure that in your dream you start having a dream that is infused with a clear light at its outset. That's the very highest type of dream. Can you expand on the differences? I think I just tried excuse me, in particular with examples of dreams that arise from transpersonal karmic traces. Well, it depends on how you define transpersonal Miriam, sometimes transpersonal I think you're talking about individuated transpersonal karmic traces which are transpersonal karmic traces coming from within you. That would be a dream of clarity, or a clear like dream. If you're talking about trans personal and this is a multi Vaillant term is that which is beyond your persona, not just within you but actually but beyond your mindstream altogether, your mental event horizon. In other words, mind at large out there. If you're talking about those kinds of transpersonal karmic traces, that's a whole different deal. Because first of all, at that point, it's no longer your karmic trace. It's collective karma. So I don't think you're talking about that. I think you're talking about individual individual individuated personal transpersonal karmic traces, and those are very much connected with the two types of dreams that you you mentioned dreams of clarity, those come from those transpersonal and then the dreams of clear light also come from those. Okay? And if you want clarity on any of these, don't be shy to come on. We can do a little back and forth. Okay. Oh, another easy one from Gerald. I love it. Dr. H. Will you be offering a week long graceful exit entry death dying series of dollar Mountain Center in August? Yes, it should be up there. If it isn't.
