but i find that just laying there thinking about keeping my body still doesnt send me anywhere, i just end up laying there.

so are you saying that i should day dream while staying aware at the same time, like a semi day dream, because i find that very hard.
i can switch from day dream to being aware of body, back and forth. isnt the concept of a day dream to forget about the body and just imagine.

maybe the term daydream has different meaning to different people.

could you give an example of your day dream when your going to sleep. eg daydream while counting at the same time.

it could be that im not tired enough, maybe i should spend more time 'prepairing' for sleep
