Hello dreamers!
I’ve just started my journey in dreaming. I haven’t had a lucid dream yet, only one where I was dimly aware it was a dream. I intend to start some daily habits like reality checks and dream journaling. I have journaled my dreams in the past, and I found they became more vivid, but fell off for a bit. I intend to pick that back up again. Also trying to integrate daily meditation and breathing sessions.
Currently reading through Dream Yoga, and it really speaks to me. It resonates with a lot of other things I’ve been reading and thinking about, and I find it’s well written and intriguing to read!
I did have a question about falling asleep. Last night I was trying to fall asleep by focusing on my breathing, deep and slow, and visualizing a red pearl in my throat. When I was fully relaxed, I started to feel sort of warm and fuzzy around the edges of my body. It felt almost like I was falling backwards, and my eyes began to rapidly move back and forth, making me sort of dizzy. If I tensed up, or breathed too deep, I would come out of it. I felt too awake to fall asleep, though I tried again and felt close to… something. Not sure what, though.
Would anyone know about sensations like these?
