Abstract:The first part of the paper briefly outlines the role of dreams in early Budd-hism and their importance in establishing the continuity of the whole tradition, before presenting in the second part entirely new aspects of dreams in the Budd-hist eremitic tradition, influenced by the Tantric spiritual horizon, in particular by a transformed concept of the body. The central part of the paper follows an analysis of the soteriological technique of dreaming (Tib. rmi lam) in the tradi-tion of Buddhist yogis and yoginīs, based on the fragments of mahāsiddha Tilopa (Ṣaḍdharmopadeśa), Gampopa’s commentaries, collected in the treatise Dags po'i bka' 'bum, and findings from studies on Buddhist eremitic tradition in Ladakh in the region of the Indian Himalayas. The four stages of dream yoga are also hi-ghlighted in relation to other psychophysical soteriological techniques (the six dharmas, Skrt. ṣaḍdharma, Tib. chos drug). The philosophical and soteriological foundations of dream yoga are presented on the basis of the doctrine of consciou-sness in the yogācāra school, highlighting in particular the three modifications of consciousness presented by Vasubandhu. The last part the paper outlines the si-gnificance of training in the dreaming technique in the very process of dying that leads to the unconditioned state beyond life and death, nirvāṇa.

Title:Prav v tem telesu, prav v teh sanjah
Abstract:V prvem delu prispevka je na kratko orisana vloga sanj v zgodnjem budizmu in njihov pomen pri vzpostavljanju kontinuitete celotne tradicije. V drugem delu so predstavljeni povsem novi vidiki sanj v budističnem puščavništvu, na katere-ga je vplivalo tantrično duhovno obzorje, še zlasti predrugačen koncept telesa. V osrednjem delu prispevka sledi analiza soteriološke tehnike sanjanja (tib. rmi lam) v tradiciji budističnih jogijev (skrt. yogi) in jogini (skrt. yoginī), ki temelji na fra-gmentih mahasiddhe (skrt. mahāsiddha) Tilope, poznanih pod skupnim imenom Ṣaḍdharmopadeśa, na Gampopovih komentarjih, zbranih v razpravi Dags po'i bka' 'bum, ter na izsledkih raziskav budističnega puščavništva v pokrajini Ladakh na območju indijske Himalaje. Štiri stopnje joge sanj so predstavljene tudi v poveza-vi z drugimi psihofizičnimi soteriološkimi tehnikami (tj. šestimi dharmami, skrt. ṣaḍdharma, tib. chos drug). avtorica predstavi filozofske in soteriološke temelje joge sanj na podlagi nauka o treh zavestih šole jogačara (skrt. yogācāra), pri čemer izpostavi zlasti tri modifikacije zavesti pri Vasubandhuju. V zadnjem delu je orisan pomen urjenja v tehniki sanjanja za sam proces umiranja, ki vodi v brezpogojno stanje onkraj življenja in smrti, v nirvano (skrt. nirvāṇa).
