Thread: New here

Thanks for your answers everyone. I have started to do reality checks and figured out what could be a potential dream sign.

Abra, if it's not too much to ask for, can you give me some pointers on meditation. I started to practice it about a month ago, and it's rather difficult to "stop thinking". What I do is first observe my thoughts for a few minutes, then focus on one thought, then try to focus on nothing. During this entire time I let my body go numb.

You don't need to focus on "nothing." In fact, with lucid dream meditation, I focus on awareness. I try to be aware of my breath, of the temperature of my hands and feet, of the weight of my clothes, of the sound of the ceiling fan, etc, etc.

Hmmm...so basically I need to focus my awareness on by body and senses in general? That seems to make sense. Thanks again.
