Leo, you seem to have a lot of knowledge on the topic of the subconscious and dreams. I am just wondering where you have learned all of this and if you could point me towards some resources that I might find interesting. I find what your talking about to be fascinating.

As for the problem in the topic, I have the same problem! I tell myself to become lucid before I sleep, I do reality checks, I keep a dream journal, etc... But when I go to sleep its like what the topic starter says...-boom im asleep- boom im back awake.
