Hi people! This is something that happened to me last night. I just thought it was interesting, so I'm going to share it.
I'm trying DEILD and WILDS right now. But since about three weeks ago when I first started trying to LD, I was picking up on how close I was to sleep. Especially with WILDS, that awareness increased. Last night I woke up from a dream and moved, so it was difficult to doa DEILD. But when I tried to go back to sleep, normally, I couldn't. I now use a mantra until a certain point, and then observe my breathing. And I usually fall asleep in five minutes. But when I turned to observing my breathing, i couldn't sleep. I literally felt myself on the verge of sleep, unable to cross. For ten minutes, until I just got up for awhile. Anyone tell me why? Nothing was in my mind. I'm just curious, it's odd.
