Not so fast there. I'm impressed. I suspect only a few paid much attention to Dudjom Lingpa except those close to him and the rare ones knowledgeable of their potential significance in their own lives. Tweet us a few you have received we pray.https://twitter.com/anyane/status/995058473510494208 …

Even without making/denying any claims to mystical transmission etc, there is a very rich crossover between what one might call symbol and reality. I’ve been thinking about this a bit, especially with regards to the symbolic aspects of ‘non-ritual’ Vajrayana practice and dreams.
This arose as vaguely interesting because I have one foot in a fairly mystical/schmistical tradition, and one in a significantly more secular one - the two styles of teaching/thinking both reflect this relationship between symbol-reality, but in fairly different ways.

Dreams are a great place to find out how traditions approach this sort of stuff. Eg: Some traditions assume that enlightened beings can communicate content via dreams. Others function on the assumption that the underlying contour of dream experience is communicative.

Anyway....the cul de sac I’m talking about is of interest to a limited cohort of dorks in religious studies. Thanks for sharing your dream experiences
@anyane - really interesting.
