In the Great Perfection (Dzogchen) teachings, the issue is always whether or not we recognize our true nature and understand that the reflections of that nature manifest as experience. The dream is a reflection of our own mind. This is easy to believe after we wake up, just as the Buddhas know—after they are enlightened—that the entities and objects of samsara are illusory. And just as it takes practice to recognize the illusory nature of dream while asleep, we must practice to realize the illusory nature of waking life. With some understanding of how dreams arise, it may be easier to understand what is meant by “illusory” and “lacking inherent existence,” and also, importantly, easier to apply this understanding to our experience. The process by which experience arises is the same whether we are dreaming or awake. The world is a dream, the teacher and the teaching are a dream, the result of our practice is a dream; there is no place where the dream breaks until we are liberated into pure rigpa. Until then, we continue to dream ourselves and our lives in both the dream and the physical dimension.
