How do you know the difference between doing something by force and doing something not by force?

I realize that I tend to force things in life, specifically situations, and this is something that I am trying to stop. But, I am now uncertain as to when I am forcing things compared to when I am initiating things. Doing things, such as approaching people, is not always forcing it, but I'm just having a hard time realizing the difference.

Is there a name for the sensation when you are meditating but feel like you are mindlessly in a dream?

Not that you are necessarily dreaming of anything, but just the feeling as if you are in a dream. Everything is sort of slowed down, and you don't really have too many thoughts anymore. Yet everything also feels magnified.
