I have been doing an exercise....a meditation really....that I am calling Collapsing Inward.

This involves letting all of my energies slowly collapse into my energetic center.....you know, that spot just below the navel....and feeling all that energy gather there. I visualize the collapse of a blazing star into a tiny mass of incredibly compressed energy (a neutron star). It is very powerful.

I am bringing this into the LD conversation because it has had a profound effect on my dreams the last few nights. After falling back to sleep in this state I go into dreams with a powerfully strong physical connection to my body. The dreams have been incredibly clear and...visceral. Sight, sound and the sense of touch are amplified. The number of dreams and the recall of them in just the last few nights has been amazing. I am now incorporating this exercise into my ADA practice.
