Ok, first of all I would like to say my mind needs to wander to fall asleep. You know when you think of something and it links to another thing which you think of and then another and then another? Well I need to be doing that or else I can't fall asleep (so no MILD, VILD, Auto Suggestion, and probably WILD). Its pretty easy for me and will happen almost unconciously, especially when I'm tired.

Also, it takes a little while for me to fall asleep. Always around 20 minutes to around an hour, when I'm not excited. Around the 15 minute point I see HI (at least thats what I think it is, random dark blobs of colour). When I'm in my unconcious mind wandering state, I visualize very vividly, but when I try to visualize conciously its usually crappy. When I try to WILD, I never have gotten anything but the random dark blobs of colour I got. No sp, sounds, dream scenes, or whatever.

Now to the point.

Lately my nights have been freaky. First of all, some dreams which I'm not even sure I've had are riddled with false awakenings, most of them while not lucid. I mean like I would have a FA, go back to the dream, 5 seconds later have a FA, go back to the dream, try to fight the FA and fail, etc.

So last night, I remember me having my head on my pillow, then suddenly I was lying on sand and saying "oh crap now my hair is sandy." That's all I remember.

I can't tell at all, was that a dream, was the a visualization, what was it.

What the hell is happening to my sleep?
