daydreams

from THE DALAI LAMAS ON TANTRA:

Regard all objects perceived during the daytime 

as things of a dream. One must think to oneself, 

‘These objects are but dream experiences and 

I must recognize this dream as a dream.’ 

Practicing this mindfulness during the day will 

have the effect that at night when a dream occurs 

one will automatically think, ‘This is but a dream 

experience.’ The stronger becomes the instinct 

of the training cultivated during the day, 

the stronger will become one’s ability 

to recognize the dream state when asleep.
