Thread: Help...

It's not so much the dreams that frighten me. I am often excited to go back into that 'world' the next day, with great anticipation. It's really the fact that I seem tired from these dreams, as if I wasn't really dreaming at all.
Hence my wish for an abstract anology.

I've been thinking about this a lot the past few days, because one3rd mentioned he had this same problem with exhaustion after a really good dream.

I was thinking about the epic dreams that I often have. I normally have them after some sort of sleep deprivation or exhaustion. The reason I have the long epic dream, is due to REM rebound. I will be extra exhausted the day before, or miss some sleep for a few days. The night when I can finally catch up, I will end up with a long REM period, but wake up still tired. Again, the tiredness and long dreams could be caused by the same thing. A lack of consistent REM sleep in general.

On the dream control note, have you read Billybob's tutorial?

It may give you a new way of thinking about attemting dream control.
