    Mahazou and all,

    Actually, I was going to post a couple of very similar questions today. I
    also am a big daydreamer which inevitably results in dialog.
    Especially in the morning (and no, I don't like to splash myself with cold
    water in the morning) when I practice the "observing", it seems that my last
    dream from that night resurfaces. I tried successfully today to "watch" the
    dream, and since I was part of it, I emphasized in watching myself. This
    involved some internal dialog, kind of reminding myself to observe and not to
    take part. It was difficult only, when I didn't remember how the dream
    continued, but I *wanted* to know...
    I visualized this as a moviescreen and I was the audience. Since I have seen
    myself on videos before, it wasn't really hard to do, but I wonder if I'm on
    the right track with this step one.
    Next question, how do I know "I'm good at it" and can go on to step two? I
    know from many years of on and off meditating, that I can fairly easily hold
    one single thought for a longer time and I feel step two will be easier for
    me. Do I have to work on step one longer or can I go on, or take turns,
    maybe?
    Also step three is something I have achieved previously in some deep
    meditations. It really looks that step one is the toughest, that sitting
    back and observing.

    Any input on this?

    Greetings for all

    Really happy to join the BardonPraxis group. Thanks to Rawn. I am a
    very low level practionner and my every night problem is to observe
    my thoughts. As a daydreamer, it seem "very hard" to be the silent
    observer. I am very close to my thoughts so that i forget myself
    during the meditation. I have also a non stop inner dialog
    Have you faced this problem ? For all, please: is there a " tip" to
    master this ability ? help!!!!

    Mahazou
