So I've been meditating some time in the past and I've recently decided to do it again. I alaways do meditation right before sleep because I read somewhere that this will increase my chance of lucid dreams.

The problem is when I do mindfulness meditation, I might be sleepy and tired at first but I start to gain more focus and awareness that when I decide to stop and sleep, i'm just way to awake. Like I would spend more than hour just to fall asleep.

Also meditation seemed to not help me much for dreams. I used to meditate in the past and it worked great. I would have vivid dreams and whatnots and now when I meditate I barely remember dreams.


Does anyone have similar stories? Do you guys have any suggestions?

The meditation technique I do is just focusing on my breathe and that's it.


Thank you.
