Record summary
Milam, or dream yoga, is a Tibetan Buddhist practice involving recognition of dreaming, manipulation of dream imagery and continuity of awareness across sleep and waking. It appears in tantric, Dzogchen and Bön-related instructional traditions, often alongside clear-light meditation and intermediate-state practices. It offers a comparative lead on lucid dreaming, metacognition and claims of perception beyond ordinary waking consciousness. The tradition is not a single experiment: terminology, lineage, ritual context and dating vary, and modern presentations may simplify or psychologize older instructions.
