Thanks for the info, guys. poliganometry, that totally makes sense--I guess I always figured the "W" was for "waking", and it was different because I was already awake >.> I'll definitely try doing it after sleep instead of before.

Whyed-eyed: I read your SP experience too, it's a crazy state to get into. I personally haven't had any BAD experiences with it (other than the sleeping trouble thing) but I've read the accounts of others and I'm a big baby when it comes to spectral/ghostly/evil beings, even if they are completely in my head :S I guess I'll just have to work on it.
