How to Wake Up in the Night

In his new book, Shambhala, Durga Vrindaban talks about the yoga of dream and sleep. He says it is just as much a valid way to wake up as meditation. And that if you're not able to do it during the waking state, you might be able to do It in the night. The key is being aware of your thoughts before you go to sleep so they don't interfere with what you are doing at all.
