our thoughts and our desires.
If we could only do all this while we are conscious,
we would realise the Self.
(excerpted from Conscious Immortality, Chapter 13)

Excellent Tom! Thank you.
Question: is your objective when you retire for sleep at night to experience deep sleep or lucid dream?

I don’t have an objective wrt sleeping. It’s just something that occurs.
