Dream Yoga in the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition

Record summary

Dream yoga, known in Tibetan as milam, is a structured contemplative tradition involving dream recognition, lucidity and practices intended to transform dream experience. Contemporary teachers and scholars working in Tibetan communities in India and Nepal provide identifiable material for comparing lucid dreaming, meditation training, visionary interpretation and claims of dream knowledge. The tradition is doctrinal and practice-based, not a controlled demonstration of precognition. Transmission varies among lineages, and modern retreat accounts may blend classical instructions with contemporary psychology.
