Today’s session was 40 minutes, and there was nothing especially remarkable about it. There were no clear insights and nothing that felt worth holding on to. The usual thought patterns showed up, mostly around planning and practical decisions, but what stood out more was how often I slipped into strange, semi-dreamlike states.
Throughout the session, I kept entering what felt like brief lucid dreams, or maybe some kind of micro-hypnotic state. There would be odd, vivid visions, and then suddenly I would come back to my senses and return to focusing on the breath. Each time this happened, I noticed that I could not retain anything from the vision itself. There was no narrative or memory left behind, just the sense that something had happened and passed. This cycle repeated itself for most of the session. Drift, return. Drift, return. It might be because this session was closer to sleep time, which could explain why the boundary between waking and dreaming felt thinner. It is something worth paying attention to. If this starts happening too frequently, it might be a sign that this practice works better earlier in the day, when the mind is less inclined toward sleep.
