Dream Thinking.

Quote.

When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

Question:

 Dear Deepak,

I meditate daily and do so without judgment or expectations. What I do find interesting is the different states of mind and thoughts that come through my mind. Once I am aware of my mind drifting I consciously return to my breathing. However, from time to time I enter what I’d call a dreamlike state, but not sleep. The thoughts are not mundane (like my schedule for the day), but like a dream with somewhat incoherent random thoughts, more like fantasy. The same as dreams you remember when after sleep. I wonder if I should be attentive to them in any way? They don’t have apparent meaning, but I don’t dwell on them either. Do you have any suggestions for what state of mind I’m in and whether I should better understand their meaning?

Thank you for your wonderful spirit and integrity.

Response:

There is no value to attending to these dreamlike thoughts in meditation. They are only a variation on the other type of thoughts that come up between your attention to your breathing. The fact that they are dreamlike or fantasy-like  only indicates that you are at a more refined state of awareness in your meditation. While you are meditating, you will get the most benefit from your practice if you return your attention to your breath.

 

Love,

Deepak
