Yeah, I'm not able to put my Look at my hands and dream or put my fist through a wall. Yeah, I would recommend a check. I can't remember his first name whitely, W H I T E Leu, I think an interesting open source paper, you can probably Google it. He talks a lot about this. But it doesn't affect dreams or lucid dreams, at least to the very best of my understanding. Okay, for Mo. This is a tricky one. I'm curious about the nature of Samaya and how to move on to study with me and teacher. Whether that continues or a break constitutes a break of Samaya so I'll give you my run mo if you're here, but I would love to have you come on. Because this would really help if I could ask you some questions. So if you are here and want to raise your hands, it would really help if we had a little back and forth, if not Samaya this is their their host of different vowels. In the Buddhist tradition in the Hinayana Mahayana virginiana. They all have their respective vows in Hindi Jana has the precepts and if you're a monk that you 140 vows if you're a non as crazy they have like 100 more I mean like go figure right patriarchal BS in the MaHA yada which transcends but includes the Hindi yada then you have all the Bodhisattva vows in the Adrianna then you which transcends what includes all both Mahayana and any and then you have this the tantric or some I have ours. And all these Vows excuse me, interestingly enough, this is the genius of the wisdom traditions. They have all these in mind languaging restraining orders writer agencies because until ego is transcended, it needs to be restrained. think Putin think I mean, dictators think just, you know, out of control politicians, until he transcended it needs to be restrained. And so these files are all about restraining, restraining, restraining. And fundamentally, what are they doing? They're, they're, they're, they're moving, they're reducing movement and movement is the nature of movement as the fundamental generative agency behind eco structure. It's not I think, therefore I de card it's I move therefore I am. So all these all these rows. This is just a contextualized Sumayya are basically designed to restrain movement. Like a wisdom straitjacket, that basically what funnels you into the present moment, which is the only thing that ever really exists. In fact that doesn't even exist. It funnels you into the present moment provisionally. But even the present moment doesn't exist. When you funnel in completely the present moment turns into the fourth moment Hurriya, which is beyond past, present, and future. So that's one thing to talk about in terms of Samaya. I need to ask you some questions because unless you've taken empowerment with these with this teacher, there are no smiles involved, so it takes place with empowerments and therefore, oh gosh, there's so much to say. Here, depending on where you go and who you talk to, whether it's sarma or nema. Everybody has their views on this. Some of the time to say there's 100,000 some ideas that can be reduced to 28 that can be reduced further to seven or 14 whatever it varies dramatically in the traditions. And so fundamentally the roots Samaya is all about well actually I'll keep it specific with your the relationship to the teacher slash guru. Because if you get it if I if I start riffing on the nature of somebody altogether, this is a whole big talk. If you have not had an empowerment along and I'd be Shaco with this teacher, there's no Samaya so if you have had that, then the best thing to do is just respectfully unless Unless this teacher has been not like busted and isn't a real teacher, then I wouldn't do this with respect at all. But if it's the legitimate teacher, that you felt like you needed to, you know, move on to another This happens all the time. Then the thing to do, if you can do it directly with him or her is have a meeting with them. And just simply share just say this is what's happening to me. This is this is what I want to do. This happens all the time. And it is unbelievably rare. In fact if someone does kind of lose it boy you're definitely doing the right thing moving on. They will they will just they will say wonderful. I wish you the very best thank you for spending time in my store or whatever. Right. Thank you for hanging out with me. Wish you all the best please continue. So the way to leave them is with respect. Don't talk ill of them. You know treat treat them in retrospectively with with a great deal of gratitude based on what you have learned. And so there's where I pause here because if your relationship wasn't that great if this teacher was questionable, if they have not given you empowerment and then this this doesn't apply. So this is some is is a little bit slippery, he talked about period, but without having a little bit of back and forth with you. I'm shooting a little bit from the hip. And so if you're here and can come on that would super help. Okay. I mean fundamentally show you how complex somebody is. Somebody is always broken, always repaired. If you don't see this world as perfectly pure, we're like how many people here do that? You're breaking the country go. So we're always breaking some IO where I was repairing it. When you're dealing with some I have a teacher a couple other things come into play. Okay, Rihanna. I recently had an onsite lucid dream okay, they just happen spontaneously su that's cool. In the dream, I was trying to pack a large amount of luggage in order to make a flight on time. Yeah, I this is a super common sort of dream. I then decided I really don't need this luggage good for you and the dream was immediately replaced by a rush of energy that lasted a long time. Oh, that's really cool. Good for you. I have experienced an increase in energy in general since this dream, I five don't need the luggage. Really let it all go. I have not ascertain what the luggage represented any suggestions on how I can find out what part of my life the luggage represented. I No idea. With all due respect, can I really I can't I can't help you with this one. This would involve Ah, geez. I mean I'd have to have the whole dream. Even if we had the time. Here's a little bit the way I work with the whole dream interpretation thing. It is 1,000% valid. I still work with Dream Interpretation all the time. But in the world of Dream Yoga, dream interpretation doesn't exist. We're not interested in dream interpretation at the level of Dream Yoga. It's a little bit like during the day. When you're doing meditation, you are not interested in like contents of your mind in terms of what it represents and all that that's what therapy is for. You're not interested in that you're interested in changing your relationship to the contents of your mind. That's not to say that the therapy isn't valid. Oh my gosh, it's totally valid. Same thing with a world of Dream Yoga, Dream Yoga does that has no interest in dream interpretation? But that doesn't mean dream interpretation isn't important. It is it's great. But for me to try to tell you what the luggage represents. I have no idea. This is something you know, probably the so many books on dream interpretation. And one of my favorites is by Eugene Gatlin called let your body interpret your dreams. I might recommend looking at I'd also recommend if you really want to do it that you work with a depth psychologist, a union who works with dream interpretation. You can learn a lot about this sort of thing but I ah, first of all, who am I you know, I'm to come in and say, you know, this is what this thing represents the best I could do even if I had the entire dream in front of me was would be to say if this was my dream, this is what it may represent. So find a youngin find a Deaf psychologist and look at using Greenlands book. Let your body interpret your dreams. Okay. Okay, here's a nice long one from Eric Eric. I'm just going to trim this down because this one's pretty long. Thank you for writing. Oh, just a couple of things. Here I consider myself a dedicated fairly dedicate to my practice of meditation Dream Yoga. However, I haven't truly been practicing lucid dreaming for the past several years. There was a time in my life that was thinking about becoming a monastic. But I still have attachments to my life who doesn't? I don't always have the time to meditate. You're not the only one. On a workday when things work out. I can get one to two hours. So here's the question. What would be your advice to your average layperson who was still quite dedicated but would like to advance their practice given responsibilities, time constraints about Dream Yoga that was very happy to hear very recently in your dream Yoga Book to essentially extend your meditation beyond just the cushion, which is essentially what he actually attempt to do with my Zen practice. I'm assuming this all day mindfulness would be a game changer for a layperson. Yep. Well, this is a good question, Eric. And, you know, it's good news, bad news. I mean, one. You want to learn how to play the piano. You got to put the time in. You want to learn how to play golf, you want to learn how to become accomplished and lucid dreaming, Dream Yoga.
