What is dream yoga? Dream yoga refers to a system for developing the capacity for ultimately controlling one’s dreams and even acting intentionally within the dream state. Progress in the practices of dream yoga and the Dzogchen practice of natural light will allow us to realize a form of enlightenment as we become lucid and aware during the moments of sleep.   

The Practice of the Natural Light belongs to the Dzogchen teachings transmitted by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu. Workshop participants are expected to have received the transmission of Guru Yoga from Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, or to be committed to receive the transmission as soon as possible (you will be asked to fill and sign a form to confirm this intention). It is also possible to receive the transmission via webcast, for example during the  World Wide Transmission that will be webcast on the new moon day, August 6th at 6 am. Instructions for following the webcast will be given by request.
