Also I remembered some stuff that was happening when I fell asleep. I took 5-HTP before bed hoping to take advantage of REM rebound. I was focusing on maintaining my consciousness and setting my imagined dreamland scape. I was deeply relaxed and then images started appearing in front of me.

There was an weird symbol for one. Then I was sitting at the head of the table with a bunch of people looking at me. It was really colourful and bright but yet overlaid over blackness at the same time.

Since that was at the start of the night about 5 minutes in. I can conclude that it was not REM. It is also the same feeling as those experiences when I am awake in the middle of the night. So I must be unconscious during the true REM sleep.

It's strange because I have had extremely vivid dreams before that my senses cannot tell the difference between it and real life. But most of experiences thus far seem to be less vivid.

Anyone else have this?
