I've been trying to have an LD for the past week. So far, I have six pages of notes on my dreams, most of which I don't remember writing, but rather, I feel that I remember dreaming about writing them.
In any case, that's not the main point. I've also gotten myself into a pretty good habit of doing reality checks fequently throughout the day, and I've been trying to experience an LD.
I think I've almost gotten it, but I really have no idea. I keep trying to sort of blend my mental awakeness with my physical sleeping by staying aware of everything as I go to sleep. Some of the sensations I've felt are very strange including, a few times, a slightly orgasmic vibrating feeling through my whole body, during which sudden random thoughts popped in and out of my head for what seemed like only a few seconds, but I can't tell.
The reason I think these type of things only seem to last for seconds is that I'm forced out of them when I take an deep breath. I try not to, but either because of physical instinct or fear of death, I can't seem to stay in these sensations of physically being asleep while trying to 'watch' myself fall asleep and breath at the same time.
I have two questions from this:
1) Do I need to breath, or am I not awake and only thinking that I'm not breathing?
2) Am I approaching this in the right way? Does trying to 'blend' from being awake to being asleep do anything, or should I try something else?
