Good read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia @Aerisky lucid dream would only occur if he's asleep or he transitions into one through sleep paralysis. OBEs might or might not be more clear lucid dreams(debatable) but I doubt he's having either LD or OBE based on his description. | ||

 Sounds legitimate. I guess try to fix it by improving your sleep hygiene in general so you don't have to lie awake for long periods of time. Perhaps see a doctor if your insomnia gets bad enough >< | ||

Your advice is pretty sound. Getting a sleep schedule in place is the best way to beat insomnia I believe  | ||

You could try avoiding it by just moving your body every 5 mins or so, I guess. The mind enters that stage when it thinks the body is asleep, which happens when you just don't move for a long time and drift off with your mind. By the way, lucid dreaming can terribly go wrong, so be a bit careful! People can get really mad when it goes wrong. I don't know how it's arranged in Singapore concerning medications and apothecaries. But if you can get it, try to get some pills which are made out of Diphenhydramine. It helps with sickness, dizziness and makes you tired also. I use them for sleeping most of the time. If you can get yourself some of these, take half a pill (if the dosage is 50mg, so you take 25mg). Take one around 30-60min before you go to sleep. I take them because I have pretty much no sleep hygiene. I'm always tired and sleeping is passing time to me, since I don't feel rested afterwards. Falling asleep also sucks for me since my eyes start twitching really bad at some point and IT HURTS LIKE HELL, so I avoid that with it. It calms me. It's only a temporary solution until counseling solves that shit for me anyways. XD Take care. Oh, edit. Dreaming is processing problems for the mind, so dreaming is good. Though as said.. lucid dreaming can scare the shit out of peeps. | ||

One of the effects observed in two people (of eight participating) was exactly what BigFan mentioned, several forms of hypnogogic behaviour. However, it is really ambiguous and you should try to consult someone. Sleep deprivation and insomnia wears you out like nothing else, especially over a longer period of time (say, a few years). | ||

I was an uberman for 9 months! Dymaxion doesn't work. It has never officially been documented to work (too severe). What is really happening is that REM sleep onset occurs much earlier in the sleep schedule, meaning that you enter deepsleep at a time where stage 1 and 2 are severely compressed. As in 3 to 4 minutes at most. So you begin to "dream" while still awake. This often leads to sleep paralysis (weird feeling), though as one begins to become more acclimated this tends to stop. OP, it might just be because you are a light sleeper, or you do not get enough sleep, or several other factors. This most often happens to me now when I wake up in the middle of the night and then go back to bed, or when I repeatedly fall asleep again in the morning after sleeping all night. | ||

The uberman adjustment is too rigid for me, do you have any experience with the everyman? | ||
