Dhyana is a restful duration - there's no object. If there is an object in the mind you will identify with that object. You will find it very difficult to transcend if you stay on the concious thinking level.
According to Patanjali: "When the turnings of thought stop, a contemplative poise, samapatti, occurs, in which thought, like a polished crystal, is colored by what is nearby, whether perciever, process of perception, or objects of perception. - Y.S. 1.41
