I think this is what mindfulness meditation is all about. Being aware of the stream, noting that the stream isn't a thing, but a process that can't be frozen in time, held onto and examined. Whatever is going on doesn't fit the conventional definition of a 'self', but it's not nothing, either. The desire to be a conventional self and to continue being a self (particularly after death, but during the life experience, also) are barriers to insight into the way things really are.
Of course, I could be wrong.
