ABOUT THIS COURSE
For centuries, the great masters of Tibet have looked to dreams as potent tools for spiritual transformation. While many psychologists today look to dreams for insight into the unconscious mind, Tibetans have relied on dreams not just to explore their mind but as profound vehicles for awakening. Dream Yoga is far more than a tool to decode and analyze the personal unconsciousness. It’s an approach aimed at piercing through illusion to heal emotions, transform negative thought and behavior patterns, find clarity, and directly recognize the pure, luminous nature of mind.
The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep Online Retreat is the perfect stepping stone for learning the fundamentals of this long-held Tibetan tradition from a genuine teacher, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. Through this course, you will gain a foundational foothold in this ancient practice.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Throughout this 4-week immersive retreat, you’ll explore the ancient Tibetan yogic teachings of dream and sleep with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.
Structured around eight video lessons composed of short, focused teachings and guided practice, this course is designed to be experiential rather than purely philosophical. Each teaching session provides gradual steps and exercises, allowing practitioners to learn each phase of Dream Yoga in a natural, progressive manner. You’ll begin by learning four foundational practices of Dream Yoga preparing you to successfully train in the main practice.
Changing karmic traces
through becoming aware of your sensory perceptions and continuously reminding yourself of the dreamlike nature of reality
Removing grasping and aversion
by bringing awareness to your emotional responses throughout the day and returning to spaciousness
Strengthening your intention
each night before sleep
Cultivating memory and joyful effort
by reviewing your dreams each morning
Deepen your meditation practice
by extending it into the night
Sleep More Peacefully
by releasing stress and emotional tension before bed
After training in the four foundational practices, you’ll move on to the main practice, where you’ll learn to bring awareness into the central channel and prepare your body and mind each night before going to sleep. During the main part, you’ll focus on increasing four positive qualities: peacefulness, expansiveness, strengthening presence, and fearlessness. Plus, you’ll learn about different types of dreams, potential obstacles, physical and emotional healing in dreams, and how to increase clarity.
