It's because you are actively using your brain/concentrating on something. The key is to start visualizing yourself and then let the mind take over. The tricky part is staying just aware enough that you don't drift off to sleep. Instead, you have to be like a silent observer--not judging what you're seeing or even thinking about it, just seeing. Eventually (at least in my case) if I am successful, I will be barely conscious watching what looks like a movie of a dream right behind my eyelids, and then after a certain point I just know that I can step in, and then I have successfully transitioned into a dream. From there I just have to stabilize (that's the part that gets me most often, most stabilization techniques don't work well for me). |
