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 …

We don't have to transform appearances of samsara into appearances of nirvana or change the contents of our environment to be happy; we just have to transform the quality of the perceiving mind from confusion to clear awareness. That's all.

There is a profoundly meaningful life domain in the realm we access in dream, the intermediate state, which your experience both validates and informs us on how to better optimize its experience. Did any teachers identify themselves in any way? Was it oral or direct to your mind?

Sometimes i am studying something and I'll dream about it. For example, i studied taichi and started having dreams of masters transmitting teachings. I told my instructor, he said that was how the masters taught, mind to mind, so it was a sign of integration lol but who knows

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.
