Welcome to the forum Emerald.

Nice avie by the way

Well it takes me about 20 mins to get to sleep if I reallly try however some days I have off days where I can't sleep but fortunately they are rare.

The first dream period (REM period) is about 90 mins into sleeping and it lasts about 10 mins. Then next dream periods are roughly 45 mins long. Each period is seperated by 90 mins roughly.

There is a Tutorials Section as well to help. Also get on with your dream journal
