When I was first successful at meditation, I was focusing on one point on my ceiling and eventually all of those extra thoughts kind of melted away. That's how I managed to get in a full "trance" state. I stayed in that particular state of meditation for a long time. From there I started to project and also experience 'obe' That was before I knew what any of that meant. And from there I had VERY psychic dreams. Nothing as spectacular as the fate of the world. Just small instances throughout the next day. I hope sharing what I personally experienced is of some help to you. moni
