Hi,
An idea you might want to research is using the Monroe Institute's Hemisync products. So what is this?

in the 1950's-80's there was a man named Robert Monroe. He was a millionaire, lived in New York but he had a problem..he kept leaving his body. So he went to a number of doctors who all assured him he was sane. So he decided to go with his experiences.

He then bought some property in Virginia and started the Monroe Institute to research out of body experiences. He then experimented with different wavelengths in assisting other people to have out of body experiences what he so easily had.

He would put one frequency in one ear and a different frequency in the other ear. What he discovered was that the brain interprets the delta difference between the two frequencies. He discovered it could assist others in getting to the theta state quite quickly.

He patented the technology as Hemi-sync. It has been widely used over the years for postop recovery, insomnia, meditation, etc. If you go to hemi-sync dot com and look under the "Real life applications" you will find "sleep and dreams ". There's a large number of products to choose from. You might want to contact the Monroe Institute to get their advice on which one will work best for you.

Another idea is to meditate. Now, you might scoff at this thinking that it won't help you sleep. However, it's been my own personal experience that meditation puts you into a deep theta state.

Having said this, it's free BUT it's not easy to do at first. Most people think it's about not having any thoughts in your mind. This usually doesn't work. The trick is to keep your conscious mind occupied!

A created a free website "learningfrommydreams" dot com. There is a link on the page to meditation. i have listed many, many different ways to meditate. If you're interested, you should read through them and find one that "resonates' within you. Then give it a shot.

I tell people to set their expectations before starting. I recommend to only do it for 10-15 minutes a day AND to try to do it at the same time, to get into a habit.

I also recommend that before each meditation, one simply ask's one's guides to assist you.

Then keep it up day after day, week after week and month after month. You might be surprised at the results.

I hope this helps you.

With kind regards,
Guy
