Samsaric dreams

Carolyn Fay

One of the three types of dreams in the Tibetan Buddhist practice of dream yoga.  Samsaric dreams are ordinary dreams, based on our lives and subject to our emotions, desires, fears, and fantasies.  While lucidity is possible in a samsaric dream, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche maintains that unilke dreams of clarity, samsaric dreams do not offer true guidance.
