A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Tbh it's kinda like intentionally disassociating, but not exactly. A lot of meditation aims for intentionally entering a trance.
A way to think of it may be as the mental equivalent of not feeding in to reflexes. Your body will sometimes act without conscious thought and a person who is in tune with their instincts might follow through on the unconscious actions, this type of meditation is like doing the opposite of that. You allow thoughts to come and go, but you don't interact with them.
For example you may be trying to meditate and think "oh crap I don't have dinner planned", then where normally you might go into planning dinner, here you say "that's ok, I can plan it when I'm done" and let it be.
If you've ever seen the litany against fear from Dune, this style of meditation is basically that but for all thoughts and emotions. Rather than resisting thoughts you allow them to pass over and through you and embrace that you aren't your thoughts.
That said not all meditation techniques work for everyone. Visualization meditation has some people who love it because it works really easily for us, but others hate it.
I recommend further research if you're interested in meditation but struggle with it
Thanks for the explanation! I still don't really understand since that sounds just like normal thinking, but that's on me lmao. I have to do more research, yes.
