Question_content: Questioner: I'm just wondering how would you practice with dreams? This is unconscious and also when you kind of wake through it, it's already happened. Right. What is the… Larry: The Tibetan Buddhism, they maintain they have a way of meditating, while you're dreaming. In the tradition I've been trained at, you're asleep, so there isn't, but what you may find is that, more and more, as you really take care of daily life, you dream less. I've discovered that in myself. It's not magical, because a lot of what dreams are…this is my experience, my interpretation, it's the night shift. In other words, stuff that you're not facing, not working out, you're not getting it. Like, I should tell this person I want a raise, but I won't. You've been saying that for the last ten years. Tell your boss you want to raise. Maybe next week. No, after he comes back. He's had a hard week. So, there are things that are getting it, are not resolved. So then at night, so this guy doesn't get it. Let's disguise it. There's an old man with a beard, and he doesn't want to get…so as you take care of, from moment to moment, as the seeing becomes more clear, the speech that comes out of a clear mind, is different. The action that flows from a clear mind, is different. The night shift can say, we can get a good night's rest now. End_time: 00:18:48
