I was doing my daily meditation this afternoon when I accidentally realized a great technique. Normally I focus on a sound or try and clear my mind. Today something new kind of popped up. It's a little hard to explain, but I would focus myself more into my body with each breath I took. It felt like I was going deeper into consciousness. The deeper I went, the more random thoughts filled my head. Eventually scenes started playing out in my head that I had no control of. I would just sit there and observe them. After around 20 minutes my dog started whining and I kind of "woke up" only to realize that I was in sleep paralysis and had the feeling of floating. I couldn't fall into a dream because it was the middle of the day, but I am going to try this tomorrow morning and see how it plays out. It made the time go by really fast and I never got bored or had to fight any thoughts.
