My brain believes that my imagination is reality. It comes up with situations and reacts as if I was there present. It comes up with people then it assumes that the people are real and it keeps them in the background up and running until I forget. and it forces them into whatever other stuff I'm thinking about. This also extends to other areas. I can't sleep at night because of my active imagination so i imagined myself sleeping in a nest, feeling the comfort and it worked, made me relax but not sleep.

Also when I try to sleep I usually start thinking of situations featuring people and dilemmas. my brain trying to get around, doing an effort to understand things reduces things to its minimal components, it reduces people and things to its minimal form conceptually, making things almost be energy. It's like using only the most elemental pieces of the brain. When this happens i enter a lower state of sleeping. I almost go asleep when this happens but I notice, become aware that I am in this state and I return to normal again.

I've looked around for solutions and seems that metta meditation to fix and let go of these 'mental machinations' is the way to go. After I develop concentration that is. Zen doesnt work, not in this condition.

I'm trying concentration meditation and going to continue doing this but I'm not sure I'm doing progress. Imagining the feeling of breathing in and out (since my brain only obeys imagination) while I'm actually breathing might work.

Are there other forms of meditation
I disassociate a lot and I'm not very sure which practice to do. This happens even in minimally stimulating activities mental or physical
If I am concentrating on words I start thinking of situations if I think of situations I start thinking of words and so.
