cool. i think i might try that instead of the raft on the ocean, i always feel myself concentrating too much when i'm imagining sitting on grass because i'm wondering does the grass go on to the horizon or am i just in a field, or maybe a garden. so i'm guessing i'd get the same if i was imagining myself on the ocean. i was just wondering, what happens when your dream starts? are you lucid from the beggining, or if not, is it easier to tell you're dreaming than usual?

BTW thanks so much for answering all my questions
