lying in bed quietly trying to fall asleep is terrible. My brain doesn't stop, it's like a pitching machine that's gone rouge and I'm the batter stuck in the cage.
Whenever I'm finally about to fall asleep, I notice myself falling asleep and become fully awake, because my brain goes "Yes! I'm falling asleep! Hurrah!"
Every time :angery:

its really hard to do but when it happens its amazing
It's pretty hard but once you learn your own dream tells it's kind of a matter of getting your brain to agree with you to hand over the dream so you can play with it. Easiest in the mornings if you can go back to sleep after initial wake-up because it's halfway a day dream where you can practice.
I've never felt like I'm in control of my dreams, but I occasionally have dreams where I'm aware I'm dreaming and I know I can force myself awake at any time.
