46: 3 hour meditation finished. Looked at the timer approximately the same amount as last time smh… gotta work on this . It’s disrupting the flow.

Don’t know what you’re trying to say hehe but sure

Lmao. Hits home

I can’t do psychedelics for now that’s the thing. Thanks for the suggestions.

45: I’m considering writing down here each time I complete a meditation session to keep myself accountable. I’ve started to meditate recently again and built it up to 3 hours a day. It’s still new for me as I’ve only done the 3 hours maybe 3 days so far. So it’s still challenging. What’s most challenging is not looking at the timer. I do it quite a bit but I’m trying to lessen the amount of times I do it. If I ever manage to complete a whole session without once looking at the timer that would be amazing progress. My goal with this meditation is to experience some kind of mystical experience from it. That’s what I want to start with. Then enlightenment would be the ultimate goal . But for that I probably need even more mediation, 5 hours or more a day. I’m thinking of continuing 3 hours a day for a few months then perhaps increasing it, working up to 5 hours a day. In 20 minutes I’ll start my session and see how it goes.

This is a good read too. It’s quite long and might be hard if you’re not so good at English but I found it amazing https://maladaptivedaydreamingguide.wordpress.com/guide/

I did this in past too. I think it’s a symptom of other things. Rather than being so much of a problem that should be focused on in itself. Because it can be really hard to stop this habit if the underlying issues aren’t dealt with. It’s like you’re focusing on the wrong thing. Like it has been previously mentioned in this thread, low self worth probably plays a role in this. And maybe you feel inhibited in real life to express yourself authentically. Maybe you’re shy irl, held back. Your personality irl being underdeveloped. So this ideal self fantasy is trying to compensate that. So deal with those underlying things. Healthygamergg on YouTube has good videos on this. Search for the channel name then daydreaming and you’ll find them

My guess is that the scary scenario in your dream makes your heart beat faster signaling danger so you wake up. Also consider that you only remember a dream if you wake up after it. If you continue sleeping then you won’t remember it so maybe you have many dreams where you continue sleeping after but since you can’t remember them it seems like it doesn’t happen. Maybe I’m wrong

How does this have to do with the previous information?

I would chose god definitely

I don’t know what alien consciousness is but for me non duality is still the most radical. That is what you mean by “god” right

Non duality is still for me the most radical. What could be more radical than there being no separation, no self?

If non duality is not awakening then what is

I would like to have this too. I remember one summer I was so hooked on Leo’s content I watched all of his videos from the very first one. I should’ve made this list

Hehe

Thank you. I will try my best to stick to the plan.

I think in such situations it’s about whether there is hope to change things or not. In his case as I mentioned if he has the possibility of moving out it would solve some of his problem with his family. If not for now, at least later and he can hold on until then. Unfortunately not all of us are lucky with a good family, but when one is not, one can find meaningful relationships elsewhere, such as in a friend like you for example. I don’t know much of his situation but it doesn’t seem hopeless, a hopeless situation for me would be for example if someone has a horrible incurable disease or something. In his case there is hope for change, and that is something you could focus on and inform him about. As long as he lives with his family he could try to stay away from them more, so going outside etc if he can. Maybe it sounds obvious but it’s just a suggestion . Bottom line his situation isn’t hopeless

Ok I see. That’s cool you were able to experience that. I meditated 3 hours yesterday and I plan on continuing that every day

What do you mean by conscious dream phenomena?

Does he have the possibility of moving out? That would potentially solve the problem of him having a toxic family

Cool that you managed to experience that. I just started meditating again

How long do you meditate for? I’m trying to achieve mystical states myself

Ok

You said they were illusion
