Hullo all! I heard about lucid dreaming from a friend, googled it, and found this wonderful site. I've had a few lucid dreams in the past, but only one where I could control things, and that was when I was around four or so (it was about Peter Pan in a factory that actually looked more like a bar, and the only thing I could control were my actions). However, I haven't had any recently. I tried doing a dream recall chant thing last night but it didn't work. I usually recall 1 dream every 3-5 days-- not sure if that's good or bad. One of the biggest problems for me is the act of falling asleep itself. I've always not been very good at falling asleep, but it's harder with the mantra. I found myself actually concious of falling asleep when I was saying it, like I could feel my breathing slow down and my mind getting hazy. But I'd get excited and my brain would snap back to the waking world. Any suggestions?
