A Bridge Between the Waking and the Dream

By Altair Seerstone

I found a short talk by a Tibetan Bon lama, Chongtul Rinpoche, on lucid dreaming, and it named something I have been circling for years. He calls the lucid dream a bridge between realities, a crossing where the karmic dream gives way to wisdom. That is how astral projection has always felt to me ... not an escape from the body, but a deeper way of being present to it. I am sharing his words because he says it with a clarity my own notebook keeps reaching for.
