专注于光明,在未入睡或小睡时,专注于心间或宝珠中央的蓝黑色明点,在梦境不清晰时,专注于喉咙间红色且光芒四射的明点,观想其光芒将身体内部和一切显现染成红色,等等,通过这些方式断除(对梦境的)执着,从而稳固对梦境的把握。有些人对于把握梦境和断除边际的修法,不从基础上着手,反而过多地讲解死有中阴的幻化等次第,这只是夸夸其谈,因为在没有获得把握(梦境)的控制权之前,是无法展现幻化等技巧的。因此,有时仅仅是知道自己在做梦,而没有诀窍和把握的努力,也无法稳固梦境。而这里需要的是通过努力去把握梦境,并且要让把握住的梦境保持长久,所以此时必须奠定梦瑜伽的基础。第二,把握梦境分为粗猛把握和柔和把握两种。前者是指在梦中出现火、水、野兽、鬼怪、敌人等景象,感到害怕时进行的把握。此时,因为梦境中的一切显现都不是真实的,只是虚幻的显现,所以要这样想:谁会被梦中的火烧伤,被水冲走,被野兽、鬼怪、敌人等杀死或吃掉呢?然后对它们进行践踏。在一些情况下,还提到将自己观想成烧红的铁球,融入鬼怪等的心中。这些在一些地方被称为舍弃恐惧。柔和把握是指在梦中自己意识到自己在做梦。此时,要将梦境中的一切显现都看作是不真实的虚幻显现。无论是柔和把握还是粗猛把握,都要观想梦境中的一切外境显现都与幻术的八个比喻相似,并将自己的身语意观想为如不净幻身的阶段一般。如果能够根据这些进行幻术的修习,那是最好不过的。如果不能这样做,也要努力将梦境中的一切显现都观想为无实、如幻,从而能够运用梦境。有些人将此称为确定外境显现。第三,增进稳固分为三:修习梦境的技巧,串习

Focus on luminosity, and when not asleep or dozing, focus on a bluish-black bindu in the center of the heart or jewel. When dreams are unclear, focus on a red and radiant bindu in the throat, visualizing its light illuminating the inside of the body and all appearances in red radiance. Through such methods, sever attachment to dreams, thereby stabilizing the grasp of dreams. Some people, regarding the practice of grasping dreams and severing extremes, do not establish a foundation but instead excessively explain the stages of transformation, such as the illusory transformations of the bardo of becoming. This is mere boasting, for without gaining control over grasping, the skills of transformation and so forth cannot be manifested. Therefore, sometimes merely recognizing that one is dreaming, without instructions or effort to grasp, cannot stabilize the dream. Here, what is needed is to grasp the dream through effort, and for that grasped dream to be sustained for a long time. Therefore, at this time, the foundation of dream yoga must be established. Second, grasping dreams is divided into rough grasping and gentle grasping. The former refers to grasping when fearful appearances such as fire, water, wild animals, demons, enemies, and so forth arise in the dream. At that time, since all appearances in the dream are unreal and merely illusory, one should think, "Who would be burned by the fire in a dream, carried away by the water, killed or eaten by wild animals, demons, enemies, and so forth?" Then, trample upon them. In some cases, it is also taught to visualize oneself as a red-hot iron ball and dissolve into the hearts of demons and so forth. Some call these the abandonment of fear. Gentle grasping refers to recognizing that one is dreaming within the dream itself. At that time, one should view all appearances in the dream as merely unreal and illusory. In both gentle and rough grasping, one should contemplate all external appearances in the dream as being similar to the eight similes of illusion, and visualize one's own body, speech, and mind as being like the stage of an impure illusory body. If one can train in illusion based on these, it is most excellent. If one cannot do so, one should still strive to contemplate all appearances in the dream as being unreal and like illusions, so that one can utilize dreams. Some call this establishing external appearances. Third, enhancing stability is divided into three: training in the skills of dreaming, familiarizing
