Ok so the last 2 nights, i have set an alarm for about 3 hours after i fall asleep. First, I have trouble getting to sleep both nights. I think this is related to a lot of pressure in general, or expectation. When i wake up with the alarm, i get up, go to the bathroom, and get back in bed. Very lightly tapping the bed like a piano, i try to drift off to sleep. I have found on several occasions that i really have trouble shifting phases. It seems that i have "awake" and "asleep" quite simply. I can move my fingers all night long, or i can go to sleep. I have trouble deciding which to choose. Do i have to lie flat on my back? I don't ever sleep like that, but if it helps, i'll go for it. Does it matter that i go to bed very late, and i wake up when its light out? I'm having trouble distinguishing what the exact goal is with the method. I reaaaally would love to be able to induce lucid dreaming. I've had several over a couple years, and i want to have them more often. Is there something im doing wrong?
