I know this all to well. I have learned sometimes the most compassionate thing to do is to put on Ear plugs and or Ear muffs:
Otherwise you are encouraging the neurosis.
Amen.
Building a dictionary of symbols is extremely powerful.
Thank you for this
damn… you’re good!..
you must be a Lucid Dreamer!.. hihihi
did not notice…
usually all I do is staying Present and not answering or feeding the conversation.
this never occurred to me… perhaps because of impermanence… it’s more like an internal software that I develop for myself… I do it naturally… the work in this case is to register all dreams… 
Identifying with Sleeping Problems…
just being aware of this already changes it.
changing some things also helps 
"this is my new sacred temple where I can explore the unknown… " brilliant!..
Excellent profound video.
asKING questions I think care also be helpful
I had one the other day about being in a plane while it hit turbulence and then crashed. Kinda terrifying. Lucidity hit in the wreckage, or blank Nothingness of the aftermath.
AMEN
He mentions sleep in this Grand slam video too
He mentions similar things, but goes a little deeper in this vid
yes, sometimes we need to crash something so that we can become lucid again… usually it’s illusions… but easier said than done! 
I dreamt of being in a plane today to leave a deer friend there who was exhausted. I was happy for her because she was going on vacation… her mother and another friend were also there and she made an expression that communicated she was not going to rest and I said to her “Don’t tell me you are going to work on your vacation!..” with all this drama, I did not become lucid… 
it’s not possible to leave a friend at an airplane, unless you fly with her…
and I was dreaming with this friend the whole night, in different dreams, giving her advice, and having fun with her.
yes. asQUEEn questions is very powerful hihihi
yes, you had shared before. it’s on my list to be seen… soon 
“The pull of sleep.
Going out of existence.
And then you are reborn again.
Human patterns being micro-cosmos versions of macro-cosmos reality.
You disappear periodically, and you need to disappear.”
“Was I Right or was I wrong”
“The Elixir of life”
Damn youre good!
Very wise words 
She must be very close to your Heart.
Of all the Deers I would love to fly by my side, you’re are the top of the list!
You got that Elevated Spirit:
No rush, I think most, if not all the teachings in it, you already know.
Leave it for an idle tuesday or when your Intuition calls for it
OMFL this cracked me up 
So decades and lifetimes ago, in my younger and more vulnerable years (real early teens like 10 or 11), our group of prepubescent friends used to JOkE with one of the friends in the group (named Joe). Instead of saying:
"You got to be joKING me?!?!?’
we said
“You got to be joQUEEN me?!?!?!?”
Not the kindest things to say, but my God, they were not the softest times to grow up in.
These days it seems likes schools are mass producing 
s that melt instantly in the face of any adversity.
Like the complete inverse of the WWII (greatest) generation
I watched and LOVED it… the “meditation” is one of the most powerful I have done with him so far!.. thanks for sharing this gem!..
hihihi
loved this story… thanks for sharing your intimacy here with us… and your heart… and what is touching you right now.
what I can say is that when such books exist:
you got yourself a really nice possibility!.. ho ho ho…! hihihi
I have had this experience before and perhaps even already shared it here before, but it’s such a simple miraculous thing we can do to improve our ability to go into the slumber in a highly comfortable, conscious way, that I share it again.
Tonight I woke up after two sleep cycles. I had a spoon of honey, a chamomile tea, brushed my teeth, AND when went back to bed had the idea of mapping my body to check my temperature to notice that:
What a Blessing that was!
A few weeks ago I had my first success with liminal dreaming lucidity:
Had window cracked open for fresh air. 
laying on back, with one leg pulled into body with foot on the bed and other crossed over it Indian style for a yogic hip streach, held this modified pose indefinitely:
Seated Pigeon
(I was in this pose but with my back on the bed, and fell alseep into the liminal dream, or possibly very very short lucid dream)
Other variables:
Told a melatonin and a tyllenal pain killer
Was sleep deprived from the night before
Set ‘meditation’ intention on just watch what arises in mind with complete etachement
interesting! gonna try this one… just for fun and see what happens! hihihi
thanks for sharing
Thanks to our Beloved sister @YelienaT we have this precious video that is a fountain of golden teachings about sleeping:
This was on TWR’s facebook feed yesterday!
How to Prepare Your Bedroom as a Sacred Temple
Creating a sacred temple within your bedroom is a transformative practice that fosters peace, relaxation, and spiritual connection. Here are some steps to help you transform your bedroom into a sanctuary of rest and renewal:
Declutter and Simplify: Start by removing any unnecessary items from your bedroom. A clean, uncluttered space promotes a sense of calm and allows for better energy flow.
Remove Symbols of Stress: Take out items that represent pain, struggle, effort, conflict, or stress—such as certain photos, letters, certificates, and objects. Removing these symbols helps create a space free from reminders of modern life’s burdens.
Choose Calming Colors: Opt for soothing, neutral colors like soft blues, greens, or earth tones. These colors help create a tranquil atmosphere conducive to relaxation.
Incorporate Natural Elements: Bring elements of nature into your bedroom, such as plants, natural fabrics, and wooden furniture. Aim for minimal furniture, focusing on natural materials to maintain a simple, grounded atmosphere.
Create a Calming Ambiance: Use soft, dimmable lighting to create a peaceful atmosphere. Calming scents like lavender or sandalwood can further enhance the sense of tranquility.
Minimize Screens: Keep the bedroom a screen-free zone. Avoid any electronic devices, as they can disrupt your sleep environment and interfere with relaxation.
Maintain an Optimal Room Temperature: Aim for a cooler environment, typically between 60-67°F (16-19°C), as recommended by the National Sleep Foundation. Experiment within this range to find what feels most comfortable for you, as a slightly cooler room often promotes better sleep quality.
Keep the Room Dark: Ensure your bedroom is as dark as possible during sleep. Use blackout curtains or an eye mask to block out any light that could disrupt your rest.
Ensure Fresh Airflow: Keep the air in your bedroom fresh by opening windows when possible or using a high-quality air purifier. Good airflow supports respiratory health and deeper sleep.
Prioritize Comfort: Invest in high-quality bedding and pillows that provide optimal support and softness. Choose bed sheets and pajamas made from breathable, cooling fabrics to help regulate your body temperature throughout the night.
Establish a Nightly Ritual: Develop a calming bedtime routine that signals to your body it’s time to unwind. This might include meditation with reflections on gratitude in life and loving care toward family and loved ones.
Thank you for this fantastic video and advice!
Had a cool synch with Tenzins picture on his wall. Thought it was a Tiger, than tonight got a book on sale with a tiger on the cover:
The Art of War
It also has the Tao Te Ching included in it
heard many good things about this.
if you feel inspired to do so, I would love to get some nectar from it… perhaps a new thread about it? or something even better?

“you Rejoice…”
“you Rejoice…”
“you Rejoice…”
“you Rejoice…”
“you Rejoice…”
“you Rejoice…”
“you Rejoice…”
“you Rejoice…”
“you Rejoice…”
“you Rejoice…”
“Thats the Ticket to go to Amitabha realm”
