Hi Mornings Son,
It is a excercise that was given by one of the sorceresses in Carlos group. I think she called it the flip. It really wasn't an exercise as such but pointed out to Carlos that moment between waking and sleeping. I think she called it the "flip" or something like that.
I have tried in the past working with that point in consciousnes trying to find it and "hover" their, I guess you could say. I haven't done it in a while, but what I was doing was to either of two ways to reach it.
1. To lie down to sleep but watch myself and pay attention to that point where I went from normal waking consciousness to sleeping consciousness (subconsciousness I would call it.)
2. The other way I would approach this consciousness would be to go into a meditation and after going into deep relaxation, I would move my consciousness to the solar plexus area. (the seat of subconsciousness) While doing this I would attempt to again pay very close attention to that state of consciousness that I mentioned before.
In both excersises I would try to recognise and remain in that area where both states of consciousness are right there. And to stay there as long as I could or to cross over back and forth as many times as I could. Meaning from consciousness to subconsciousness and back and forth.
To be very familiar with this "flip" was my goal and seemed to help, not only with remembering dreams but of bringing back information that I had learned while dreaming.
I hope that makes sense.
