Avian... just wow! such a well written piece. thank you firstly for the empathy. secondly, the advice about practicing visualisation is a great idea. However, i must say the car analogy was my fave part of the whole post! excellently said. i work particularly well with analogies, as I use them frequently myself that's excellently said. i will heed this post and advice

LucidEveryNight, thank you for making me feel normal. It's good to know others have hazy and third person dreams. I feel I need to practice more. I am heeding your advice too yeah i will review what techniques work for me.

I did wake after 6 hours and went back to sleep. I did use a isochronic thing to help me sleep. My brain went nuts with it! I saw space.... like.. through my own eyes!!! I saw stars and I went down in a curved motion. But I wasn't asleep properly. It made me snore lightly, but my mind was still very active. I am gonna start meditating to calm those thoughts, along with more focused ada and self awareness

thanks for the responses. genuinely appreciate them!
