Hi all,

I’m interested in starting to get into the habit of meditating and iv’e studied the subject for a while, but I have some hard time fully understanding it.

When reading about it It’s obvious that meditation gives you tons of benefits, but I think my problem is sort of understanding when I start feeling the differences and what to look for. Because it feels so vague to get all these benefits from just controlling your thoughts for a brief period of time.

And the goal - ?

What am I to look for, to feel for, and what is considered as an achievement? The answers I find to these questions are all very loose-ish and vague and I’m not really sure what to make of it all!
Kind of hard to explain but I guess I need to narrow it down and make it easier for me in the beginning.
I think it’s natural for humans to seek immediate respone and to have clear goals in order to maintain interest and motivation. And for me when it comes to meditation i have some hard time seeing this i guess.

My main goal with meditation except for all these claimed benefits are directly linked towards lucid dreaming and dream recall.
That’s my main target, that is what I want to improve.
So how would you set up a proper schedule that is easy to stick with, and would it be best to just go with the breathing-meditation? Like keeping your thoughts on one specific thing?

I just need some clarification and a push in my arse i guess. And if you do have any must-read books just throw em at me!

Thanks a bunch in advance, and if you by any chance disn’t fully understand my jibberish, i blame you not. I’ll try to sort em out for you better in that case.

Yours

Mattias
