Thread: I Hate Autosuggestion!

When I first heard about autosuggestion, I thought - "Wow, that's pretty nifty." and I gave it a shot.
I'm not gunna say it hasn't helped. I think it has, like in bed AFTER performing a WILD.
But, lately, I can't seem to control it x_x.
I lied there and was very concious, I said "I'm gonna have a Lucid Dream. Lucid Dream." and I just lie there, thinking about Lucid dreaming, what I'd do, and anticipating the event of falling asleep.

AROUND FOURTY MINUTES LATER, I'm pretty much wide awake, and people in other rooms talking or lights on in other rooms or any noise at all bugs the hell out of me. I feel MISERABLE and I can NOT fall asleep!
The only way I can fall asleep is by thinking about random things and letting my brain go off on it's own without holding onto anything.

Now that I know about lucid dreaming, it's really all I think about when I go to bed. Because of this, it takes me hours to fall asleep, and it pisses me off, because I REALLY can't stop thinking about it! Even if you said, "Try not thinking about lucid dreaming" I'd probably get worse since the act of trying to not think about things make me focus on them even tighter... Any ideas to clear my mind and stop my stupid brain from concentrating on anything in bed?
