So I led in bed last night, and tried to recall what I had learnt on this website. Unfortunately, I have a terrible memory which is due to depression. The only thing I could remember was reality checks, and Mantra's. So I start falling asleep, and chanting my mantra in my head, and after about five minutes, my eyes started shaking rapidly, and uncontrollably. I'm confused at what this was? I read that REM happens 3-5 hours into sleeping? As this carried on, I noticed I was feeling very numb. Unfortunately, I fell asleep without dreaming. I dont even know what process I was attempting to attain lucidity. This all happened in about 10 minutes. Could anyone let me know what was happening? and also, tips would be greatly appreciated.
