Thank you for the response
Yes, now that I look at it, I'm probably not going to get much dreaming done while I'm awake XD
So basically, you're falling asleep while conscious enough to enter as a lucid dream?
I don't completely understand the transition, but I'll try to. You want to do exercises to remain conscious, but not try to stay awake, right?
