"Let your fantasies arise and pass like clouds in the sky; witness them without attachment, and you will find that silence deepens and joy spontaneously emerges."
According to Osho, fantasies during meditation are not a problem unless you get involved in them. Let them arise and pass without suppression or pursuit; simply witness. If you follow them, meditation becomes dreaming. If you watch, their energy evaporates, silence deepens, and spontaneous joy may arise—no need to analyze, just remain alert, relaxed, and non‑attached.
When daydreams show up while meditating, just see them and let them go, like clouds passing in the sky.
