Have you ever become lucid in a dream and practiced with a mantra? One time I did with the nembutsu and the odaimoku and I found myself in a void with points of colored lights. It was very similar to the bardo.
Maybe. Sometimes im praying my beads in dream. Usually just before waking up. Though i havent tried any dream excercises in a long while. I just go to sleep and whatever i dream, dream
Not quite the same thing, butt I once had an extremely vivid dream of being a can of green beans in a supermarket. As in I simulteniously felt my being compressed or bound in in the phenomenological feeling of "being" a can and feeling my physical body in my bed, it was very strange.

>>4232134510/10 would recommend Used active imagination whilst chanting I can do this over and over.Started getting chased by a cartoon blue skinned transvestite shakti who was trying to seduce me.Just kept running along up the steps trying to run from it.Eventually a door opened and I was invited into a board room on what looked like a space station.At the table there were these 3 insectoids who said they were primordials.They were trying to get me to give up my fap addiction, and were going to atomise my anima and wise old man.They made me sign a contract and I saw them get launched from a launch pod and blow up with missiles.I called them out on their bs and ran out the room chanting I can do this whilst heading up stairs.Kept this chanting going for what seemed like hours running along whilst, the transvestite shakti was chasing me on a round orb hover craft.Eventually got to a point where I gave in and transvestite Shakti embraced me, congratulating me on acceptance.The entire vision turned into gold and I was met with otherworldly pornographic scenes in which I was asked by shakti what I saw and if it turned me on.Now this is where it got dark, the once wondrous scenes suddenly changed.For the next two hours straight I was subjected to snuff film torture visions.In which I was told by Shakti to say what I saw and if it turned me on.At one point I realized I was being punished for watching years of rekt videos, and that I was to sit through these for every one I had watched totalling thousands upon thousands.Thankfully it only lasted a few hours butBy the end I was a broken man shaking with PTSD.Yet long term something shifted and I feel better for it.
I wishthe closest I get is using a mantra in a deep theta wave state of mind, while using binaural beats...the kind where I lose awareness of my body and time speeds up 10xmantras are so powerful when doing them in a deep state it's ridiculousa wizard once told me it's because there's less resistance present in deep states of mind where everything in you is super relaxedsomething to think about
