Discussion Dream analysis and meditation is legit

[『 』]

For the past few months, I’ve felt extremely lethargic and it felt psychological in nature, and I’ve been implementing a lot of mediative practices and it’s gotten better, but recently I have been able to get into some deep dream states and go lucid, and now my lethargy has seemingly disappeared, I highly recommend it, I’m in a better mood, more joyful, compassionate, and clear headed.

It’s taken like 2 months to get to a state like this, but I highly highly recommend

I started dream journalling a while ago and the only thing that happened is the intensity and vividness increased (mostly nightmares, some nice ones and some erotic ones). Gave up eventually since it felt like a liability to have my dreams sitting around for anyone to read. Meditation's harder though I tend to do it for a few days every once in a while then give up

Give me a quick run down on journaling.

You have to have a goal in mind with both.

The intensity of nightmares means you have a lot of repression in your psyche.

mediation also has to have a goal, cultivating insight and and a tranquil mind with the final goal being liberation.

How does one even meditate?

I think I meditate involuntarily tbh. When I am trying to sleep I stay as still as possible and focus on my breathing. Sometimes I'm like that for two hours before I can fall asleep.

I just recorded my dreams after waking up so I could remember/look at them again at a later date.
