I woke up this AM... and wanted to do more dreaming...
especially after having had only two mediocre dreams. like with weird little worms in them and a boring box of random books. i wanted more, more, more!

but wasn't sure if i should or not.
i wish i knew if i was still in the REM state.
is there ever a clue?

i could probably have "induced" an extra round of sleep to go for dream goodies! but on some days i would rather get up if i had some clues that i was wasting my time...

am i blowing smoke to even attempt to try this?

if others do, what is their quick ten minute or so method? (i gave up about a half hour only to discover my REM period was over. so that's why I'm asking.)

PS (side bar question) so far my impression is that REM cannot be voluntarily induced... but then i hear all this talk about using sound and light machines.... but i guess they would only work if you are in your REM period.

thanks,
