      Concentrating...

      I am doubting myself, probably a little too much, and I'm hoping that there are people on this site like me.

      I just started my dream journal and everything, and I know what I'm going to try for my induction tonight, (I think it's VILD) but I'm worried that I won't be able to concentrate.

      I firmly believe that I have an attention deficit disorder, and when ever I try to go to sleep, and I try to concentrate, random thoughts always flush into my head and break my concentration, with everything I do. I think to hard, about not thinking... But then I think even harder if that makes sence?

      I also have a hard time sleeping without sound, years of listening to brain shattering loud music makes it so when ever it's too quiet, my ears ring like a bomb just went off, so I listen to music when I try to go to sleep.

      So my questions are what can I do do stay focused on trying to fall asleep, while attaining lucidity, and will the background music effect anything? Should I turn it off?

      Ok... I'm the same way in the way that I'm 99.9% sure I have ADD. I've never actually WILDed, But you can try concentrating on your breathing, that what I do. it might work, it might not. I dunno. give it a try

      As for the music, beats me. If it calms you done and makes you relax, then stick with it.

      EDIT: should have probably proof read it first.

      Thank you, I'll try it and the music does ease me if that's what you want to call it. I prefer it over obnoxious 200 decibel ringing

      Start counting your breaths. Lay down, start counting (if you are going to WILD). I would recommend you to try DILD before any technique.

      The ''ringing'' in your ears you say when everything is quiet mean that your hearing have been damaged due to long exposure to loud noise. Be aware, you may soon have problems with your hearing.

      Lucidity takes time, don't expect to achieve it on your first day, or even first week; some - like me - even takes months.
