found that increased meditation equals:
1. More frequent memory of dreams and more awareness in dreams?
2. Increased empathy and compassion toward others?
3. Toward self?
4. Increased happiness in 'normal' :wink: waking life?
What do you think?
:wink: :wink:
All of the above and much, much more! :wink:

Seriously... I never practiced meditation seriously until about 2 years ago. I dabbled in it when I was doing martial arts... but I didn't understand it.
However... all these qualities that you list were attained just by practicing OOBEs using the method I used.. which in some respects was.. take a nap... get quickly into Sleep Paralysis.. and 'away'.
From this I remembered all my dreams and experiences... I have never understood why people aren't more compassionate and never understood the emotions jealousy, hate or envy and was rather stumped when confronted by it from others. I have had to learn these emotions or rather how to recognise them in others... and I have always been happy and loved life.
When I started meditating there were new qualities I attained that I can't put my finger on. One thing it has taught me is that I understand why people who discover and practice meditation suddenly attain these qualities... so I have learned an understanding of other's understanding.
It did teach me that I don't always need to use SP as a way to become nonphysical... and it brings a peace of mind if I am feeling slightly overwhelmed by little problems of everyday life.

Like everyone said, all of that is possible and more. I will say that it does not automatically make you happy in life... you still have to deal with the ups and downs, but you can gain a new perspective and way of thinking that helps you glide through those situations. Life doesn't become easier, but you become a master of living it.
I always liked the saying:
"Before enlightenment: chop wood, carry water.
After enlightenment: chop wood, carry water."

I like all that you've said here. Nice.

Maybe those qualities don't have words available in english?
I know what you mean and i don't have the words or ability to "put my finger on" these either.
But something is different and i feel
improved in normal waking life when i am keeping a meditation practice going.
