Exploration 1:

What happens if I lay still on my back for 20 minutes with closed eyes?

That is what I want to know right now. I kind of need a bigger question though.
And instead of a question, a statement might be more effective, just like you do in an essay I need to narrow it down.

Statement: Laying still and remaining aware is all that is needed in order to enter a dream consciously.

Exploration 1: What happens if I lay still on my back for 20 minutes with closed eyes?

Method of Exploration 1: I set a timer for 21 min, 1 minute to prepare, 20 minutes to observe. I had two pillows behind my head and I lay on my back.

Result of Exploration 1 , Night 1: Before the 21 minutes I made a note about how my body felt. It was tensed up, I had been to the gym. My lower back had some pain and I was very aware of my body. During this exploration I was not daydreaming, instead I was focusing on my body feeling it's changes. After about 3 minutes my feet started to tingle and it felt like the wave you feel when you don't get enough blood, or when, as the expression goes, a part of your body falls asleep.
I felt a slight tingle on the side of my elbows as well. Then I blacked out completely and the next thing I know I woke up to the sound of my 21minute alarm.
When I woke up I wrote some notes down about how I felt. I woke up with a relaxed body, less aware of how it felt, still very aware of it though, but less than before.
My mind was also much calmer and rested.

Tonight I am going to keep my mind active by daydreaming and thinking and see if I black out as quickly again or if I can stretch the length of my awareness.

I am still on Exploration 1 and haven't been still and aware for 20 min on my back, so I can't make any conclusion about it yet.
Instead I have encountered a problem, and by solving this problem I can reach a better understanding about my Exploration 1 and get closer to find an answer to my statement.
