So got really close last night.

Didn't WBTB but just started off lying there thinking whatever then decided I had to get really comfortable (for me I think this may be really important) moved around a lot until I got into a position that I imagined this is how I sleep and knew felt right (it was on me side kind of similar to the recovery position). Got pretty far felt tingly and a few other sensations just from listening to my breathing (for me I find it helps to not count or think about anything) I heard a few songs when I would drift off from breathing for a minute then I really started to think I was close so I thought I would try sit up.... and guess what I happened? I sat up and no I wasn't dreaming. I lay back down straight away in that same comfy position and then started slowing my breathing and taking heavier breaths which I would just let the air heave out as if I was in a deep a sleep, with in not even a minute of sitting up my head felt as big as a beach ball and my body really small. My heart was about to explode it was beating so fast.. Heard the Red Hot Chilli Peppers then started thinking about the sensations I was feeling and how to describe them. Could feel my consciousness drifting off and the familiar feeling of everything under my lids getting really big. With each breath I was getting closer but my heart was going so fast I couldn't escape. I guess I should have stayed listening to my breathing but I was amazed at how fast my heart was going and listened to that which eventually slowed and I returned to normal.

After that though I had an amazingly vivid and lengthy dream which is now my first online journal entry... http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=54257
