what would you call this?

so everynight when im trying to fall asleep i always count1,…2…3…ect
i usualy count the every two heartbeats… anyways when i usually get two around 50 my head starts to feel like its spinning in circles…then i dose off later in the count, i usually do have a vivid dream after i count tho so i know that works.
also how do i get the hi stage?
ive only had 2 ld dreams so far…

I suppose all you have to do is focus on staying awake in your mind, rather than dose off. Doing this after a bit of sleep would be easier.

What amazes me is the fact that you fall asleep so fast! Compare your 50-100 count to my 3 hour wait in bed, and you get quite a difference. :tongue:

Are you trying to do WILD? Well, you are doing it the wrong way. WILD is supposed to be done after 4.5 - 6 hours of sleep, since that makes you go directly into REM sleep, as opposed to WILD’ing during the night. Also, it will be a lot easier to fall asleep.
