Dream-state bardo awareness


DESCRIPTION:


This state of awareness is of the intermediate sphere of sleep and dream consciousness. It is illumined by meditation and yogic practice. Deceptive dream-imagery is said to be transformed into forms of knowledge, and because experience in this state can be guided, it is an important preparation for the bardos in the after-life.


CONTEXT:


This state is one of the six major bardo existences in Tibetan Buddhism.
