Passive Meditation
Awareness in Dreams
At the edge of sleep, keep a thread of awareness of breathing and inner sensation, so that dreaming and knowing that dreaming is happening gradually become distinct.
Practice style
- Lie down comfortably and let sleep approach naturally.
- As you are about to fall asleep, keep a light awareness of the breath and the area between the eyebrows.
- Do not chase dream content; the practice is to retain a thread of awareness as sleep arrives.
Do Not Lose the Witness
The method is only an entrance. Whether it uses breath, dance, sound, darkness, sitting, or relationship, what matters most is gradually seeing what is happening rather than only chasing an experience.
