Have I been in meditation while daydreaming?

outcome
"True meditation is not an escape into fantasies, but a deep, conscious presence that allows you to embrace life’s storms with the innocence of a child."
According to Osho, daydream-like absorption may feel meditative, as in a child’s natural innocence, but it is ignorance-based, shallow, and easily lost. True meditation is earned through living, distraction, and conscious awareness; it returns you to childlike innocence with depth. Don’t escape into fantasies—cultivate alert presence that withstands life’s storms.
Daydreaming can feel peaceful like a child, but real meditation is being awake and aware, not lost in fantasies.
Why this matters practically
- Shift from escapist fantasy to present-moment awareness.
- Use life’s challenges to deepen steadiness instead of avoiding them.
- Aim for childlike innocence born of insight, not ignorance.
