Stephen LaBerge Quotes

Dreams, remembered or not, can color our mood for a good part of the day.

In most of our dreams, our inner eye of reflection is shut and we sleep within our sleep. The exception takes place when we seem to awake within our dreams, without disturbing or ending the dream state, and learn to recognize that we are dreaming while the dream is still happening.

Lucid dreaming has considerable potential for promoting personal growth and self-development, enhancing self-confidence, improving mental and physical health, facilitating creative problem solving and helping you to progress on the path to self-mastery.

We dream every night, all the time.

Dream research is a wonderful field. All you do is sleep for a living.

Dreams are a reservoir of knowledge and experience yet they are often overlooked as a vehicle for exploring reality. In the dream state our bodies are at rest, yet we see and hear, move about and are even able to learn. When we make good use of the dream state it is almost as if our lives were doubled: instead of a hundred years we live to be two hundred
Tibetan Buddhist Tarthang Tulku from

How often are you aware of your surroundings, really aware? And how often are you merely reacting in the same automatic way as you do in dreams?

You just don't get funding to go out and find God. Even if you did, you'd have to first define what you mean by 'God.'

The fact that both ego and self say "I" is a source of confusion and misidentification. The well-informed ego says truly, "I am what I know myself to be." The self says merely, "I am.

I'd say that we dream primarily the same way that we have consciousness of the world for the same reason. Basically, that our brains evolve to simulate reality and to control what's happening around us.

Some people have vivid imagination, some not so vivid, but everybody has vivid dreams.
