We sleep one third of our lifetime, an average of 20 - 25 years. Centuries ago, Tibetan yogis developed spiritual practices that use dream and sleep as a spiritual path. Dream is a meeting place—life meets death, the past and future blend, practitioners can meet teachers, guardians, and guides—and the personal meets the impersonal. The practice of dream yoga is done not only during the night—it is a practice that spans every moment—waking and sleeping. Foundational practices, done during the day, change the practitioner's relationship to all experience, developing strong awareness of the dream-like nature of life. These practices lead to lucidity in dreams. Lucid dreams are then used for higher spiritual practices. Ultimately, the dream practice gives way to the pure experience of the natural state of mind, the inseparable unity of emptiness and luminosity that is the base of the mind and all that exists.
