Hello everybody,

I'm new to this board, and LDing in general. I got into LDing thanks to TV. In particular, after watching an episode of 'Star Trek Voyager', where the crew was LDing. Before that, I knew about it because I saw on the TV series "Beyond 2000" a device that induces LDs.

So far, I've only had one LD (about a month ago), which happened after reading Berg's book and checking out this forum.

My question is this:

Must LDs occur at least 5 hours after one sleeps? Because I've been trying to LD at the beginning of my sleep. I go to sleep around 11pm ish, thinking to myself "1, I am dreaming... 2, I am dreaming... 3, I am dreaming..." and so on, but so far no luck (I get bored and think about something else). My first LD occured in the morning, after I had awaken, then fallen asleep again.

Thanks!!!
