Oh, it's all coming to me now. Are you saying that I should let my mind wander off, but while doing that, I should get those sudden "shocks" of consciousness, like when I am going to bed at night, drifting off, then someone in the same room suddenly speak loudly, and I get that "shock" of awareness? I hope I am making sense
