When we recognize and become grounded in awareness of awareness, the "wind" of emotion may still blow. But instead of being carried away by the wind, we turn our attention inward, watching the shifts and changes with the intention of becoming familiar with that aspect of consciousness that recognizes "Oh, this is what I'm feeling, this is what I'm thinking." As we do so, a bit of space opens up within us.

> One evening Scottish filmmaker Amy Hardie had a haunting dream of her horse dying, waking to discover that her beloved horse had passed away that same night. Then, after a nightmare where her deceased ex-husband predicts that she will die at age 48, she starts to wonder about the explanatory power of dreams and their impact on her own mortality. In Edge of Dreaming, Amy looks for answers everywhere, from leading biologists and neuroscientists to the more spiritual solutions of a pagan shaman. Watch the film here.
