Night School: How to Meditate While You’re Asleep | Andrew Holecek
12 July 2023 - 53 minsThis is a fun, weird, extremely interesting and inspiring episode.
It’s about lucid dreaming, something that people might perceive as hippie nonsense, but is actually deeply woven into ancient and time-tested Buddhist traditions.
