Thanks for the thoughts Sandman. It's easy to forget caffeine is a drug and should be treated like one. Im glad you mentioned that.

SSILD is an interesting technique that Ive had a lot of success with but eventually stopped working for me. I wonder how much my initial successes and then later failures we due to that fact.

Thanks for posting the dream. Did you have too much caffeine just before bed or was it earlier in the day?
