I woke up extra early this morning on no occasion. I went back to bed exhausted and found that I hadn't moved for about 10 min, so I decided i'd try SP. I didn't move a muscle for about an hour. It was crazy to finally experience "rapid eye movement," Even though I know what REM meant I never really thought about it actually doing that. Anyway, my eyes moved rapidly and I couldn't move my body at first thought (unless I really wanted to).

To get to my point, I was in REM, My heart was beating very rapidly (scary almost,) I experienced many flashes of lights and feelings of sinking into my bed and was asleep, but never got into dream land. I didn't just not remember them because I was very aware that I was laying there waiting. Anyone know why?
