Book Recommendations: Dzogchen, Dream Yoga and Zen
Posts: 8 Join Date: 12/20/24 Recent Posts
Self-explanatory title ☺️
Dzogchen: books that distil the practice down in the most thorough way possible
Dream Yoga: currently reading "Dreaming Yourself Awake", but it's targeted at non-magick users and a bit of layness permeates the book (for example, they grossely misexplain what shamatha and samadhi is
Zen: greatly interested in the philosophy and practices!
EDIT: Recommendations ✨
Dream Yoga
- Dreaming Yourself Awake (I am actually currently reading this one. Advice on Actual Dream Yoga is a bit shallow)
- The Tibetan Yogas Of Dream And Sleep
Zen
- Zig Zag Zen
- Three Pillars of Zen
- The Way of Zen
- Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
- Zen Mountain Monastery
- Moon In a Dewdrop
Dzogchen
- Crystal and the Way of Light and Dzogchen: The Self Perfected State.

Dr. Nida seems to be the dream yoga guy that everyone I know interested in the topic talks about, so it could be worth checking out his stuff, but I've never personally gone too much in depth into his work.
Dreaming Yourself Awake - a decent book, fairly western.
The Tibetan Yogas Of Dream And Sleep - a good version, has a lot of tantric dream practices
A suggestion on a way you could keep an interesting dream journal!

For Zen,
Zig Zag Zen
Three Pillars of Zen
The Way of Zen
Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
Zen Mountain Monastery
I've also retreated under Angelo and consider him to be a modern western zen master
Janusz is also a very skilled zen teacher (has some Burmese, shinzen, and art influences)

The best open-access dzogchen books are Crystal and the Way of Light and Dzogchen: The Self Perfected State.
