What’s the difference between dreams and Taoist Vision?

In this Living the Tao Short (2-17), Master Mikel Steenrod explains why dreams arise from subconscious processes while Taoist Vision develops through meditation at the boundary between sleep and wakefulness. The episode explores how accumulated Qi, disciplined practice, and perception free from personal bias allow deeper layers of reality to appear.
