I'm happy for you
It works best, when we get back to sleep after some hours of sleeping or call for help.
The thing with waking up and sleeping in dreams is weird isn't it?
You wake every time up or sleep in a different version of your bedroom, which can be very different versions, like some kind of cycle, this can go really deep and you can get rarely lost for few minutes if you overdo it, I personally call this "CORRIDOR", you can make there weird experiences, mostly facing subconscious fears or talking to persons
If you wake up for example at 6am, lie 1 hour in your bed because of some noises and you drift slowly back into sleep it will be sometimes nearly impossible to sleep in without projecting or at least being lucid.
If you want to have very long lucid dreams or Astral Projection experiences, this is for Beginners the easiest way to do, the REM phase kicks in instantly and it last very long.
Let us know, what's happening!
