Over the past few days i have been trying to get SP to enter a dream.

i have tryed to concentrate on my breathing and counting my breaths, but i have noticed when i do they are much deeper than normal breaths when i think about them.
but when i breath normally and count them they end up changing to these heavier, deeper breaths.

is just doing deep breaths and focusing on them (with out counting) enough to keep me aware?

Thanks in advance.
