And yet, . . ., and yet . . . Isn't it the case that *when you are
meditating* you often enter a state in which your quotidian desires no
longer impinge on your consciousness and you are happy to remain just
where you are. True, one could say the same thing about being asleep,
but Indian philosophers have often taken the deep sleep state as a
paradigm for enlightenment. No desires = fulfillment of desires.

In /Tibetan Dream Yoga/, maintaining full consciousness while in the
dream state is part of Dzogchen training. This training is described by
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche as /'Rigpa Awareness'./ Lucid dreaming is
secondary to the experience of '/Diamond Light'/. Rigpa Awareness is
very similar to 'witnessing sleep' in TM, which helps the individual
understand the unreality of waking consciousness as phenomena.
Apparently the EEG patterns are the same in Rigpa Awareness as in TM.
