Spiritual or mystical dreams

Exploring Spiritual Dreams: A Path to Divine Insight

Tibetan Buddhists refer to these as "dreams of clarity" because they transcend everyday concerns and take you into a space of the divine. You may wake from such a dream with a feeling of awe and wonder, knowing that something mystical and profound has taken place.

Fostering Spiritual Dreams

The more you focus on the spiritual aspects of your waking life, the more likely you are to experience a mystical, visionary, or spiritual dream. The Tibetan dream yoga tradition, like other Eastern practices, encourages daily meditation and self-awareness rituals to help clear the mind and open you to spiritual dreams during sleep.

Types of Spiritual Dreams

Spiritual dreams are categorized in several ways:

Numinous Dreams: In these dreams, you can achieve almost anything because you possess "numen," or divine power.
Transpersonal Dreams: These dreams go beyond personal concerns, focusing on the needs of all humanity.
Transcendent and Spiritual Dreams: In these dreams, you make contact with higher or divine knowledge, often interacting with angels, spirits, gurus, or other divine messengers. These dreams teach profound lessons about compassion, courage, and self-discipline.
