When I created my mantra "I perform a RC if I start dreaming and I will remember it" I started thinking it over and over again last night. Either my sleeping pattern affected it or something because I couldnt even sleep. I try to stop reciting it but it was the only thing in my head and I couldnt stop:/. I need advice on how to get sleep while performing my mantra. Ive never had a lucid dream and I've recently just now started to know how many dreams I have a night. Last night I slept for 3 hours...had a weird dream...I knew I was dreaming but my body did what it wanted to do and I couldnt control it. This is another thing I have stumbled upon... Anyone want to shed some light on my issues? Oh and BTW if you thing my mantra is to long I tried shortening it when I couldnt get to sleep.
