As a kid remember having a few lucid dreams, but as an adult i havent had one. This is now about 30 years later. Last night, I used an app on my ipad that would help queue beeps for dreaming and help me out. My mind was racing so much that I found it difficult to even try to sleep. Once I turned it off, I had another app that I used and I felt myself falling asleep pretty quickly. All the while, I was focusing to remember that I am in a dream and kept saying that to myself. Next thing I know.. Im dreaming, but of course.. I dont realize it. I wake up about an hour later remembering in full detail what I was dreaming.

Here's the weird part...

When I woke up I thought to myself, "I want to go into the dream knowing it's a dream" and my thoughts were exactly that.. "I WILL DREAM AGAIN AND REMEMBER IM IN A DREAM!" I thought that loudly. And when I did, my eyes were closed and just like that it looked like I was being sucked right back into the dream, but still falling asleep. Weird? It was like I was border line on sleep and consciousness. Instead of fulling going, i pulled back and my heart was racing and I felt exhausted.

Thoughts?
