It's simply focus and stabilzing thoughts. And a great benefit to LD and worth including in the practise. Helps for focus, stress relieve, lowering bloodpressure and all that kind of happyhappy. There's never a failed session. Even when totally distracted and difficult to focus, it'll train the mind. When I've dreams that are more vivid or having a LD, there's mostly some of a meditation excersise involved. Yoga also helps, it's focussing in the movement.
I think with everything it's personal what works. Guided or not guided. Visualising meditation for the visual people, but can also be beneficial as training this for less visual people. Same with sounds or movement. You can put music on, but it could also be worthy to try to cope with outside noise distractions. Also it can be used to focus and zooming in on one dreamgoal.
I combine a breathing excersise for 10 mins;
5 sec breathing in, 10 sec out. Or 6 in, 12 out.
It's deep belly breathing and will help me focus, cause no time to think and get a lot of oxygen. When becoming aware of breathing the body will be likely to take over this deeper breathing habit during the day and brings stress relieve with it. It took a little while to get into it and relax and trust this what first felt as forced breathing. .
I've a Pranayama app. Sounds twaddlish, but it's just a breathing techniqye. It makes different sounds for breathing in and out, helps me not having to count.
It helps to start a meditation, so you already more relaxed. It can be beneficial for all day awareness or mindfulness and slows down time a bit. When I breathe deep I can take in more of my environment and that's exactly what I need in a LD.
