Start small if you are completely new to meditation. Sit still in a comfortable, quiet spot. Close your eyes and focus attention on your breathing. Pay attention to each breath in and out for a few minutes.

Mindfulness meditation
Sit still in a comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed or distracted. Focus on your senses and thoughts in the moment. Let the thoughts go through your mind without judgment.

Spiritual meditation
Any type of repetitive prayer can be a useful tool for meditation. For instance, pray the rosary, keeping your entire focus on the beads and prayers.

Mantra meditation
Similar to using a prayer, this type of meditation involves a repeated mantra, often just a sound. Chant your mantra in a quiet place, putting all of your focus on it.

Movement meditation
Try meditating while engaged in a repetitive or guided movement. For instance, tai chi or yoga are well suited to focusing the mind and meditating.

As a practiced meditator, shift your attention specifically to the attainment of lucid dreaming. For example, just before going to sleep, meditate on a phrase or a prayer that states your intention to remain aware in a dream.

Pre-bed meditation can also include visualizing your dreams. Meditate on what you want to see, touch, smell, feel, and otherwise sense in your dream.
