In my relatively short experience period with meditation of about 10 months, I noticed that there is periods of maybe some weeks where my meditation experiences seems boring with no imagery or dream "video" or really anything other than a feeling of be in a altered state. Is that normal? - also periods of bad health or mutch workload stress seems to kill the meditation experience...
You seem to have an expectation of what meditation is supposed to be... or what is supposed to occur while you're meditating.
Whether you believe it or not, *YOU* are in direct control at all times of what you experience. So the question then becomes... why do you consider just being in a relaxed altered state boring? :)
For me personally, I don't recognize the question as being an issue, because I just enjoy whatever happens. I LIKE just sitting there in quiet solitude... just me, myself and I experiencing each other directly and personally. :)
OK, thanks for the reply, but I'm just observing that there's periods where the experience seems less "colorfull". It's what I have observed with my own practice. I don't really feel I'm expecting anything.
How can I be in direct control, if I don't know what to control and how to control it? :-o

Accept that whatever happens is what happens. Let go of trying to control it or worrying about what happens. The only question you should ask yourself is "was this a good experience?"
