Default sleeping and dreaming

like most everyone here, my sleep hasn't been great since pd. pre-pd, i was a great dreamer and greatly interested in dreaming as well, sometimes dream journaling and was once a regular in a weekly dream breakfast group. anyhow, of late, maybe the past 3-4 years, the dreams have been dwindling down to almost nothing and i really misssed my dreams.

this summer i got an Earthpulse electro-magnetic device and have been using it ever since. the magnet is under the mattress and is turned on at night for however many hours you choose.

i'm sleeping a little better - still wake often but go back to sleep easier and i am dreaming most nights. i'm not sure why but i do feel i NEED to dream...and it makes sleeping much more interesting.

also part of my current sleep kit is 1/2 an ativan which kick starts the show.

it's not like it used to be when sleep just happened, but iti's better than it was 6 months ago.

oyster, i think it's called lucid dreaming when you know it's a dream and can change/direct it while you're dreaming.

time to sleep, perchance to dream...
