HAve you ever been to www.howstuffworks.com? It's a great site. Anyway, just to see how many pages it would take to explain the mind, I searched for how the mind works. I passed "how the mind works" to look at some other topics. I saw "Lucid Dreaming", and "Dream Incubating".

Another problem I have is that it takes me a long time to fall asleep and I never feel it coming.
