i decided to take a nap
i laid on my bed, eyes closed, still...and i counted. 1 "i will remember im dreaming", 2..etc etc
i also controlled my breathing
i got over 1000 and around 45 minutes mustve passed, i felt a slight tingle on my back and i could feel my body getting weak, but decided it was taking too long and jus got up lol
I really don't know. This could be the start of HH, but it could be your body just getting uncomfortable.
i got to like at least 2000 once, but i was comfortable and enjoying myself in my thoughts so it wasn't too bad. still, i would suggest trying it when you're more tired or when you've taken melatonin or something. you want to be able to feel those kind of bodily relaxation sensations fairly soon after going to bed, in my experience.
all the tutorials here strongly go against melatonin tho. they says it fogs the mind and u wont b able to recall the dreams even when they're lucid. am i right? or due u succeed with it? im just curious is all.
i actually don't do lucid dreaming much these days because of work, and my recall isn't that great. i know that i have no conscious awareness of such 'fogging' (i.e. my mind doesn't *feel* fogged), although melatonin might have an adverse affect on recall that i don't know about.
i haven't done any serious testing with melatonin and recall. however, i would imagine that you're more likely to remember something like a WILD because you actually transition into it from the waking state, which you will of course remember unless perhaps you do a DEILD.
the one thing melatonin is good at though is getting yourself to those final stages of relaxation before sleep paralysis/hypnogogia more quickly, which seems to be the problem posed by the post.
