well one question is this, does anyone here remember the transition from being awake and being in rem?

As an aspiring Oneironauts...(how do you say that?) i wonder if it's important. because last night i attempted this and found a sort of barrier of apprehension.

the last LD i had was almost accidental, i slipped into it from becoming so relaxed using self hypnosis and just said forget it and feel asleep.
