I had my first FA this morning
That's really good news! I still have never caught my FA's but one day i'm sure i will! I always get the backwards time as well! does feel rather odd to me!

On a side note, I still find it difficult to trick my body into falling asleep while my mind stays awake, I always get that heavy blanket feeling, limbs going numb and I even feel my muscles twitch involuntarily sometimes, but there's nothing else, no HI, vibrations or sounds and I can't disconnect from my physical body at all. I can't sink into bed or float out of it and any attempts at moving always result in real movement of my physical body.
I have this exact same problem. The amount of times i have tried to WILD and not got any HI etc id phenomenal. And i have lay still for up to 2 hours before as well.

I did have another dream the other night where i was being told by DC's that i had had this dream before in my past but, once again, i failed to pick up on this. The problem i'm having now is dream recall is up to 4 or 5 a night. This is having a big toll on the amount of sleep that i am receiving and therefore affecting the amount of details i can remember. Hopefully to counteract this i have now purchased a voice recorder to record quickly and write up later.
