Thread: Need Help Falling Asleep

Yesterday was really amazing. I went to sleep very very tired (I did the 61 point thing again, only with deep breathing) i dont remember reaching point 30! so i guess i fell asleep before that. Anyway, i woke up about 5 hours later (remembering 0 dreams) and thought to myself "Oh not again, now i wont be able to go back to sleep". Ths time I tried something different, i got up and started walking till i couldnt walk anymore. i then went to bed and i think i fell asleep almost immediately. i then had this strange thing going on for a long time. it goes like this:
i fall asleep, almost immediately i get a dream, then i do an RC (light switch) the moment it doesnt turn on/off, i blink(in the dream), wake up, then i fall asleep again and the cycle repeats itself. this happened over and over and over. i mean, its like i had 10 lucid dreams that lasted 3 seconds each! i think i tried spinning a couple of times, but it didnt work. (maybe i understood the word spin wrong). this is both good news and bad news. its good because i get many lucid dreams (obviously) but its bad because i apparently have a serious problem with maintaining lucidity. Any help with that?

P.S: I remember in my first lucid dream (the one i had a week ago) the same thing happened, only the 'blink' didnt cause me to close my eye fully, so i didnt wake up.

I suggest finding one of those sleep mask things that cover your eyes while you are sleeping. I used to have one and it was great. Just that little bit of pressure makes alot of difference. If you don't have one just use a blindfold.
