Feeding the dream requires attention. In a traditional dreaming practice there are ideally two attentions working together, if the practitioner has cultivated an objective awareness and recognizes that, as the observer, one can access the unknown through the second attention. The unknown assists the observer in entering into a state of presence, energy and phenomena that gives awareness beyond our conscious and subconscious reactions.
