Lay Person's Meditation
Of course the purpose of our meditation is not to reach that high ideal, which is Nirvana. This level of "Awakening from the dream of existence" is a high level of meditation, which is for yogis who have given up the worldly secular life altogether. This is for yogis who have realized the futility and the suffering involved with the secular life. These yogis see that secular life is painful (dukkha) because it is mainly based on emotional involvement with objects.
