"...and we want punks in the palace, 'cos punks got the loveliest dreams..." - A Silver Mt. Zion
It was the best of times. It was the end of times.
thats a neat trick! i usually fall asleep with music playing. not sure if anyone else does this, but i kinda relaxes me. i occasionally slept to holosync (this music that syncs up your brain waves to theta state and induces a meditative-esque state), but i havent used it in months. plus its you are supposed to meditate sitting up. but when i am trying to fall asleep i usually do a dumbed down meditation, where i focus on the nothingness of the night (inside of my eyelids). i try and imagine nothing in my mind, and focus on the silence (on nights where i dont fall asleep to music, or when i wake up in the middle of the night and the music has stopped). |

Welcome to D.V! Try listening to soothing music, that might help. Might want to listen to binaural beats, which can induce lucid dreams |
|
binaural beats is basically what holosync is. i found a free download online and i am using these ATH AD700 Audiotechnica headphones, which have a frequency response from 5-30,000 hz, meaning i should be able to "hear" the the theta waves correct? |
|
yeah, definitely. My experience is that headphones that are hard and not padded ignore me when falling asleep, so you should be fine. |
|
Is it stress and distracting thoughts that keep you awake? If so, a waking journal can be a great benefit, in addition to meditation and relaxation techniques. |
|
I am sure about illusion. I am not so sure about reality.
im not too sure if im stressed or not!i consider myself a Buddhist and would like to think that I am fairly stress free, but i dont meditate regularly. Last night i took a valerian root and melatonin, listened to ninja's subliminal lucid 3.0 while lying perfectly still and repeating to myself "i am lucid dreaming, i will remember my dreams." before sleeping i wrote a paragraph summary of my day. i didnt fall asleep until the binaural beats were finished. i slept for 6 hours, waking up at 7 am this morning to piss (i had drinking lots of water in case i did dream) and then went back to bed. i didnt remember any of my dreams!! i dont even know if i had any. |
