That is more or less correct to say, yes.

The mind has 3 fundamental 'properties':
Emptiness or voidness
Luminosity
Awareness

Emptiness is the lack of there being any 'solid' independent essence. Because of emptiness there exist no limitations and it allows the potential for anything to happen whitin the sphere of emptiness.

Luminosity is that wich cognizes emptiness into the sense objects. forms and shapes, light, sounds, tastes, smells and so forth.
It is that wich makes everything appear and dissapear like a great magician or a skilled illusionist.

Awareness is that wich is aware of the object being cognized and from that awareness comes touching, seeing, hearing, tasting, and smelling.
The union of awareness and luminosity forms counsciousness, feelings, emotions, and perceptions.

When we are in a deep sleep without dreaming, bored, dull, tired, or sleepy the alertness or sharpness or sensitivity of awareness is reduced.

When we are dead the luminosity is reduced or nearly gone.
Emptiness however always stays, wich allows for rebirth and the mind to re-gain luminosity and awareness based on karma.

When we are over excited, or angry, scared or depressed the luminosity of mind is being merely being overactive. Because of emptiness the mind has unlimited potential, but on a relative level this luminosity is governed by the law of karma/physics (causes and conditions)
In our fantasy we can make anything appear. When we experience negative emotions we are like a painter who paints a devil and becomes afraid of their own painting.
When we experience positive emotions we are like a painter who paints an angel and falls in love with their own painting.

Emptiness, luminosity and awareness however can never be fully destroyed. It has existed since beginingless time and will forever exist until endless time.
You are the center of your universe, I am the center of my universe.
Everything is like a dream and on a relative scale we are merely dreaming each other.

All of reality can be described as body, speech, mind.
The body is simply material objects.
The speech is the expression of material objects(not just words). Its just movement of material objects.
Mind is that wich controls the body through speech.

For example someday we had the tought: "Can we go to the moon?"
Then through speech(communication, using math, mining metal, extracting fuel, etc) we gathered and constructed the body(spaceship)
And we accomplished the desire of the mind.
