Here is the exploration I have done so far and the problems that have been arising:

I wanted to find out if laying still with closed, remaining aware and just waiting is all that is needed in order to enter a dream consciously.
But at bedtime the remaining aware part was really difficult because no matter what anchor I used (I have tried daydreaming, focusing on the breath and listening to audio), but I still clicked out to unconscious sleep from nowhere. So apparently that is the default or atleast very likely.
Tonight I will try something new and this time I am not going to use an anchor to remain aware, I am going to use the body itself.

In my experiments I have been laying on my back flat, because I had read that it is harder to fall asleep in that posture. Well for me that apparently wasn't the case...
So tonight I will go even more extreme and sleep in a sitting position, in my bed though. And I'll see how that affects my ability to remain aware. I will not use any anchor at all (well day-dreaing by default) but I really want to see what happens in this posture.

If this posture makes me unable to fall asleep, PERFECT then the solution is found and the journey can continue.

If you think this is extreme, remember I am only doing it because it's fun, and I really want to see if I can find a way to fall asleep consciously at bedtime. But when I wake up in the middle of the night I still do the regular approach of WBTB, DILD, DEILD.

Wish me luck and sweet dreams to you!
