Confusion in dream realm self-purified（1）

“Confusion in dream realm self-purified” is the fourth part of the Root Six Dharma of Niguma of the Perfection Stage of the “Five Golden Dharma of Niguma”.

“Confusion in dream realm self-purifying” is also called “dharma of attaining achievement in the dream state”. Mr Liu Liqian claimed in The Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism “The essence of the dream state is to induce enlightenment of the empty co-living wisdom. The so called dream state appears because the wind hearts are all attracted inside the nadi in sleep, the content appearing are all created by habituation. The body in dreams is the fine body, smaller and finer than the crude body, and its nature is the body of the wind heart, similar to the illusory body. Because it is made by karma habituation, therefore it is also called the habituated body. The tiny wind heart coming out from the four emptiness form the habituated body, which is the mind body, and this is the basis for meditating the illusory body.”

A Brief History of the Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism states

“Because the firmness of the mastering (degree of concentration insight) of the dao of three turnings of all illusory bodies is be able to be checked in dreams, therefore mastering Tao is the dream state yoga. Because the innate colour of habit shows up, or because it is the Qi colour of recalling outside situation, therefore it is called the dream state. There are three types: symbolic dream state truth, superior dream state sun appearance and last day dream state bardo. Based on nature, there are three types: dream states of initial yogi, yoga master and saints. The scattered state is the lower class of the dream state of sleeping, the unfirm state is the middle class of the bardo dream state, and firm illusion is the state of awakening, the upper level dream state. The symbolic dream state is the difference between the absorbed wind heart inside the nadi which shows in dreams. The essence of the dream is habit Qi showing as different situations in sleep. Also there are two kinds of bodies, the breaking or unbreaking crude part bodies, however, the essence is the wind heart body which moves following the present body, therefore, it is also called the habituated body. Due to the habituated Qi of worldly wrong feeling, situations which are not present in the world also appear, therefore it is error within error. The teachings of the dream state teach how to turn these into path.”
