i'm not sure practicing meditation will give one the discernment to detach from their visions.
recently i had an experience where intense emotions were stirred out of me both waking and in dream- where i met a woman i felt intense feelings for and believe we are a part of the same soul. the dream was so peaceful and so real that i was convinced- but to act on it in the waking world was to propel our separation and make for awkward moments. whether the vision of belonging to the same energy is true or not, i do see that the ego wanted to be satisfied in a romantic sense, while fate would work against its desire. sometimes that friction creates a yearning for the individual vision to be relayed and brought to the surface- even if it means appearing like a fanatic, so that what was experienced might receive some validation.
I would say -for me- instead of trying to validate our experience with ‘fanatic’ and frenetic activity it is more important to connect with good friends and not over step propriety. Relationships evolve in a natural way and may take longer than our personal desires want them to take. To jump start the time factor and not recognize we are learning patience with ourselves and those dear to us is to try too unfold a rose before it is ready to blossom.
Meditation may not detach us from our visions but it certainly gives us patience in divine order and faith in letting God decide when and how we should unfold in our interactions with others. Intense emotions whether witnessed as described or as a vision are nevertheless emotions. Those emotions are at the heart of our reactions which is what we will have to face from the outcome of our actions and the response we get from others as a result. It is just as important to watch our emotions as our thoughts in our practice no matter how we perceive their origin.
