Dream Yoga

In the context of Buddhist (Vajrayana) practice, it is training to maintain awareness throughout the entire sleep process - from falling asleep to waking up. During the dream stage, to be able to control the dreaming process, but this is not the most important part of the practice.

what is the most important then ?
 
>what is the most important then ?

OAT meant that the Dream yoga is only the part of the whole practice. The whole thing is called the Yoga of Sleep. Dreams is only a part of our night activities :)
 
There is a state call clear light. The most important part is recognising this state. The recognition of this state is what will free the person from ignorance, which in the Buddhist context is defined as a mind of non-recognition of reality as it is.

Are you sure that we're able to call the Clear Light a state?
How you think, how the term "clear light" corresponds to the "dharmakaya"?
 
I did not want to use the word "mind" because in the context, I think it can be controversial and very likely misleading. I think state is a neutral word and is therefore appropriate.

As for the correspondence between "clear light" and "dharmakaya", I can only say that they are neither the same nor different. The dharmakaya is not amenable to accurate description by any terms of any language. It is to be experienced.
