Based on my understanding of the teaching of wisdom teachers, I believe thoughts are ephemeral experiences in my eternal real self, and are separate from my real self. My real self is whole; thoughts that real self is whole, and that I or ego self can heal and become whole help diminish the grip of I so that I does heal and become more whole. I can witness my thoughts and dreams because they are not me and are another experience within me. What helps me be a witness to my thoughts and dreams is knowing that they are experiences within me and knowing that I can learn from my witnessing.
