Thanks again - all of you for your thoughts and ideas. I am understanding more & more. Started my exercises yesterday. Had some dreams about strands (or threads) of different colors in the dark - just existing or moving slowly. Only once in a while I recall dreams.

Now I'm thinking emptiness is more like a state of mind like "love" or "joy" or "happiness" or "smell" or "taste" ... we understand as we accept a new state of mind. After all, how do you explain smell of rose to someone who doesn't know what that means? How do you describe the taste of an apple who doesn't have taste buds or knows what an apple is. How do you describe a geometric point - the smallest object? You can't. You just accept it to be a state of existance. "Emptiness" is another state of existance in our mind - we accept it as we experience it and know that it is unique and doesn't compare to anything else.
