Awaken
That's Buddhism in a nutshell. We live our lives, blissfully unaware that we're dreaming (ignorance, delusion, craving, etc). We could spend our entire life like this and never be aware of it, even upon death. However, once you've realized you're dreaming, you can't follow the dream the same way as before. Now you know it for what it is, and you know that you can now wake yourself up. That's the Awakened Mind, that's Enlightenment. The term Buddha just means "Awakened One" anyways. Once, someone asked the Buddha "what are you?" His reply was "I am awakened."
Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD)
The verbalization that I use to organize my intended effort is: "Next time I'm dreaming, I want to remember to recognize I'm dreaming." The "when" and "what" of the intended action must be clearly specified.
I generate this intention either immediately after awakening from an earlier REM period, or following a period of full wakefulness, as detailed below. An important point is that in order to produce the desired effect, it is necessary to do more than just mindlessly recite the phrase. You must really INTEND to have a lucid dream. Here is the recommended procedure spelled out step by step.
1. During the early morning, when you awaken spontaneously from a dream, go over the dream several times until you have memorized it.
2. Then, while lying in bed and returning to sleep, say to yourself, Next time I'm dreaming, I want to remember to recognize I'm dreaming."
3. Visualize yourself as being back in the dream just rehearsed; only this time see yourself realizing that you are, in fact, dreaming.
4. Repeat steps two and three until you feel your intention is clearly fixed or you fall asleep.
If all goes well, in a short time you will find yourself lucid in another dream (which need not resemble the one you have just rehearsed.

Moving Mountains - Healing Through Dreams
Moving Mountains a personal story of stillness, faith, healing and everyday miracles.
In summer of 2003, author Lucy D'Mot was on the verge of abandoning her music career. Struggling with physical, emotional and spiritual health, as well as the death of her music partner and friend, she entered into a time stillness to seek direction for her life.Within weeks she received a remarkable message in the dream state to present the music of 1960s singer-songwriter Donovan Leitch in a new format.
This project, Great Songs of the Sky, became the medium for Lucy to experience many miracles, which she had always intellectually believed possible, but never personally experienced. Over the next three years, while mounting this Donovan Tribute Concert, she faced the challenges of acting in faith and accepting the messages of dream states, animals guides, and her own personal spiritual guardians, often while doubting her own sanity.
As miracles large and small became the everyday norm, Lucy developed the faith to accept what was happening within, to learn to "know that you know what you know," and that in the most literal sense, God has no limitations.
About the Author
Lucy D'Mot is a free-lance musician and founder of Great Songs of the Sky, a non-profit organization dedicated to healing through the arts. Lucy lives with her dogs Frances and Beau, on the forested Western Slope of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Music to Dream By
Reviewed By L. J. Schrader (Manchester, NH)
I first heard music from Riley Lee while in an acupuncture session and decided to listen to some titles myself and choose one for home. So far, this is my favorite, though I have not heard them all. This is a very soothing, totally instrumental, wind instruments only and has an excellent flow. I do not happen to enjoy nature sounds or multiple instrumentals, so this was particularly perfect for me. If you have the same taste in simple, relaxing melody you will enjoy this immensely for either meditation, relaxation or at bedtime. This is even a great soother for children since it is calming without having the "spooky" overtones that some relaxation music can have. Enjoy some peacefullness.
Death, Intermediate State, and Rebirth in Tibetan Buddhism
Death, Intermediate State and Rebirth in Tibetan Buddhism
Amazon Price: $9.31 (as of 12/22/2009)
The book discusses stages of death which are then repeated in reverse order in the bardo state during the transition towards rebirth. It says that sleep is in essence a rehearsal for this process of dying, and I was struck by the similarities between sleep and death. It also states two other conditions in which those same steps take place: the meditative state and orgasm.
