This life is all a dream, a dream within a dream within a dream. We dream this world, we dream that we die and take birth in another body. And in this birth, we dream that we have dreams. All kinds of pleasures and suffering alternate in these dreams, but a moment comes when waking up happens. In this moment, which we call realizing the Self, there is the understanding that all the births, all the deaths, all the sufferings, and all the pleasures were unreal dreams that have finally come to an end.

Introduction

Lucid dreaming is an ancient art that has been practiced for over two millennia. Since the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle first wrote about lucid dreaming, a lot of progress has been made in understanding them.

However, throughout the eons, the essence of lucid dreaming seems to have been forgotten. Instead of being a path toward self-transcendence, lucid dreaming became the goaland its biggest treasure was lost.

Time and time again, the highest purpose of spirituality be comes overlooked.

As human beings, we always strive for more, and are always looking to transcend our present situation, whatever it may be. But the truth of the matter is that this constant feeling of incompleteness that drives our actionsand the suffering that comes with itwill not go away, not with money, pos sessions, knowledge, status, or power.

This is where lucid dreaming enters: it gives you the possibility of finding true wholeness and untouchable happiness; it gives you an opportunity for self-transcendence. This is where this book enters.

Most lucid dreaming books fall into one of three categories: scientific, esoteric, or self-development. Although you may find some useful information in these types of books, the first one will be a labyrinth of thoughts and conceptual analysis posing as genuine knowledge, arousing intellectual satisfaction; the second one will typically be too entangled in old dogmatic traditions and lineages, or filled with rhetoric that reinforces the ego narrative and sense of separation; the third one lacks an enlightenment-oriented non-dual perspective.

This work is not a common lucid dreaming book, but one for those on the path to enlightenmentfor those who are on a journey to unveil their original state of being.

All lucid dreaming books teach you how to become lucid in a dream and explore the magnificent dream world. Some more advanced books may even teach you how to use lucid ity for psychological progression, shadow work, and self-de velopment. However, the vast majority of them lack one central aspect: understanding lucid dreaming and dream yoga in the context of enlightenment, non-duality, and how to use the dream state to become aware of and transcend the dreamer itself. They all focus on the dream instead of turning back and exploring the dreamer. After all, theres no dream without a dreamer, yet everybody pays attention to the first and ignores the latter.

More than being just a guide to discover lucid dreaming, this book is a guide to discover and transcend the lucid dreamer a guide to Self-discovery and Self-realization.

Wasting too much time and energy in the dream state without utilizing it for a true spiritual purpose is a frequent symptom in many lucid dreamers. But if youre on a journey toward emancipation from suffering and incompleteness, if youre searching for the Reality behind both the waking and dream states, if youre looking for true happiness and inner peace, then you have to pierce through this trapyou have to pierce the veil of Maya and discover what lies ahead.

Every night you are resuscitated from the darkness of sleep by the light of dreams. Will you continue to neglect this other facet of your existence and sleep through them with ignorance, or will you awaken to the infinite potential that the dream state can bringan awakening into the eternal state of unfathomable bliss? Only you can decide.

The opportunity? It is in your hands, right here, right now.

The Forgotten Sadhu

The suns bright rays gave life to the dim reflection of my face in the water flowing past me. Suddenly, I came back to my senses. I was sitting in what looked like the banks of the Ganga River.

I had completely forgotten. I had just been taught, by a Sa dhu, the secret key to unlock the mystery of the Self. The problem? I couldnt remember the teaching.

What did the Sadhu say? I asked myself while looking at the river. But I didnt know.

As I kept looking at my reflection, I noticed something strange. It was changing.

I am dreaming! I suddenly realized. Eureka.

I looked once again at the reflection and saw it change and continue changing. This dream river was showing me the flow of lifethe constant change in the river of consciousness. From one body to another, from one life to another, from one identity to another, from a story to another, from a face to another, so we flow through the universal river of life. But what are we in the midst of all of these reflections?

At that moment, instead of looking at the transmuting reflection, I looked at what it was made of: water. That reflection was just an illusion; the realness behind it was ac tually water. Beautiful, moving water. I took a long breath, gazed at the water, and pondered, Whats the realness behind this water?
