That`s true Oldman but, no one is telling you not to eat fish on friday because it`s a catholic custom. I think I understand what you two are saying though.
But still...
How can you tell that doing dream yoga wont bring me to the path of tibetan buddhism/bon?
Tibetan buddhism interests me, not so much from the religious side, but from the meditative & healing side (although these seem very connected). Do you think you can`t approach tibetan buddhism from dream yoga?

If all you are doing is lucid dreaming, not folding in the process into an overall context of mind training, you are missing the point entirely of dream yoga.
Well, that is sort of what I wanted to do. Too many useless thoughts at night, why not give them something useful to do? Don`t all meditations fall under the context of mind training in a way?

It is one of several 'bardos', and one's nature should be suited to it. For me, it is a natural progression...not something I went looking for. Those that go looking for dream yoga are generally not suited to it; what one finds...may need some interpretation and where will you find such an esoteric teacher?
I think it so with many things. But, I think that if one looks for something, and not arive to it naturally, it might only mean, that he is not ready for it at that time. It happened to me quite a few times, that I came back to something I was searching in the past but couldn`t "stick with" (understand, grasp...) it at that time.
Oh, I think I know someone who might help me with the interpretations, however, she is not tibetan (buddhist).
