I Am More Observant Than I Let On
Just before we fall asleep, I always experience this hormone release from the body.
kind of like the sleep fairy has sprinkled its dust.
It puts the body to asleep.
As this hormone or whatever it is, spread across the body and the body slowly goes into sleep mode... more and more we are less and less conscience.
Our sub-conscience first comes into play and we start to see all these vivid dreams. This whole process is like a 2min. occurrence.
And for around 2hrs, we keep seeing those dreams, till the sub-conscience also takes rest. What I like to call an unconscience state of sleep. But we are completely unaware of this time. Blacked out.
And then our sub-conscience wakes up, we start to dream again. These are now our morning dreams. They have more to do with our day-to-day on-going life.
And then again this 2min. process occurs before sleeping.
Where the sleep is ending in the morning. Our ego and personality comes back to us, daily, and we again become ourselves and wake up.
A Lack of desires causes us to have lesser and lesser dreams. To the point, that someone with almost no desires left, would stop dreaming and even in sleep would be aware of their surrounding throughout the night. Now, this might sound very unrestful to some, but it's not. Being aware and using your mind to judge that awareness (e.g. what you are aware of?) are two different things.
Meditation is very much like sub-conscience and un-conscience state of sleeping. Only that we are completely aware of it.. unlike how we are in sleep.
So instead of dreams, there is a much more heavier download of info. in meditation.
e.g. many practitioners feel like a flow of water through them.. which they recognize as energy.. so this feeling of energy through you is a beginning towards of something that can actually be called meditation. (Even though, most people nowadays call meditation to the action of just sitting down. Well, that's not it.)
When that feel of flow of water through you, becomes immensely dense.. like a flow of dense honey through you.. that is more like meditation.
Or If you see that thing, like fire in you. Then if you're feeling a flame inside of you now, then meditation will feel like you're on fire! ^_^
