I'm interested in your definition of lucid in the contexts you describe here. I thought lucid meant just being aware that one is actually dreaming. That alone doesn't stop reification. Something else is happening in your "lucid" if reification is dissolving. Are you aware of whathttps://twitter.com/anyane/status/995774013770100737 …

I haven't developed the ability to work with dreams. It's possible the image arises already reified due to the habitual nature of reification. It might be necessary to experience much unreified appearance to trigger an unreified appearance displayed in dream. Perhaps someone has
In my small amount of experience - when the dream appearances are actually recognised, the dream tends towards collapse into lucid dreamless sleep. I don’t know how long a lucid dream can hold itself together. Maybe it requires greater stability to maintain unreified dreams?

By lucid dreamless sleep you mean you are aware that you are sleeping? Is this like a clear display experience or is it a "sleeping only" display experience or anything else you can say about it. This is, as I understand it, a very advanced state of awareness to say the least. :)

By lucid dreamless I mean there is a vivid awareness but no dream ‘display’. The awareness itself isn’t ‘advanced’, its advanced when someone can access that state consistently, understand the significance, and it leads to insight which reduces suffering and improves behaviour.

Do you meditate in your dreams? I have found a lucid dream will last longer or transform into a new environment if I begin to practice at the moment of lucidity

Not with any consistency, when I do it tends to collapse to lucid dreamless instead - not enough stability I guess. Puts a smile on my face to hear your sleep practice is going strong. Women have always been better meditators than men anyway, just don’t tell the monks.

But yeah
@anyane is probably a good person to ask. My practice isn’t stable enough to have a good handle on this stuff. I find sleep practices much easier, more natural when on retreat.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
