Below we will talk how to meditate on dream.

Mr. Liu Liqian states

“There are four essential points for meditating on dream: grasp, familiarity, change and merging. Master, first thinking of something during the day, thinking continuously, and at night use the secret key of forcing two essential points to grasp. Those who cannot grasp or are impeded by ghost obstructions should do dharma ritual to dismiss evil ghosts, then what was contemplated in daytime will show up in dream, and the yogi will be able to grasp it. Grasp means recognizing what shows up in dream. Then if familiar with it, one should meditate that dreams are illusory. Even if there are terrifying situations in dream, know that it is transformed by the karma strength of one’s own heart, illusory and without substance. Do not be scared and step on it with the feet. Like this, think that all dharma visualized in the daytime are also like the dream state, and connect dharma in the world and beyond the world together, then the two truth dual merging situation can be obtained. Then transform the dream state, for example from large to small or from few to many, change the situation in the dream. Practice with worldly things and Buddhism beyond the world, then the illusory-like Samadhi can be obtained. Finally, merge the dream situation with brightness, visualizing true meaning. Everything seen in daytime is also like illusions as in the dream state, merging this two, then the illusory body in dream will arise. The analogy of illusory in night dream can also be used to determine that the situation in daytime is also like illusion and without substance. After maturing practice, the situation appearing before death is also like dream and the dangerous path of terror in bardo can be avoided. This dharma should be meditated when alive, in order to use right before death. By meditating the dream state, the true-like nature without self nature can be achieved in the three stages of live, death and bardo.” (The Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism)
