Any ideas?
I doubt he would get that esoteric about it. Dreams are just mental phenomena. He probably only experiences lucid dreams. I've read that people who meditate a great deal develop the ability to stay conscious farther down the brain wave frequencies. Some of them claim to be able to stay conscious even in deep sleep. I don't know if these claims have been tested.

You should check out The Joy of Living by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. It talks about the science behind mindfulness, meditation and enlightenment.
