This morning after playing with the snooze button on my alarm clock every seven minutes for the past two hours I decided to learn my own science to "falling asleep".
Obvious annoying sounds around the house and deciding it was the perfect opportunity to learn fall asleep under any circumstances my plan was set in motion. After trying the usual tossing and turning followed by the grunt of a frustrated bed head, I realized that I was heading in the wrong direction.
Changing my outlook on the situation I let go of any resentment to the sounds bouncing off the walls in the house and lay calmly in my bed relaxed. After realizing that to want to sleep is an obstacle preventing me from my very goal, I let go of such thoughts.
Watching my internal screen and noticing the patterns and pulsing of dim glow dancing across my sight, I knew I had entered the right mind set and was close to my goal.
Relaxing completely of mind and body, letting all thoughts slip away a strange feeling enveloped me similar to a "brain freeze" I noticed the dim glows and black of my vision had morphed into a beautiful blue sky and I noticed a few airplanes floating in this sky.
It only lasted a minute and I was soon brought out of it. Afterwards thinking how strange it felt, almost as if my brain stopped. I was able to reproduce this several times after entering the same relaxed state.
Soon later on my next attempt I found my hearing change from its usual melody of composed high pitch tones I frequently enjoy listening to. Too that of more of an OBE attempt. The roaring in my ears became apparent and knowing I was close I pushed on.
Although I didn't experience the intense pre-OBE vibrations I felt something knew. Almost as if I was enveloped in warm rolling energy it seemed as if my body was moving, swaying in my bed as I lay on my side.
My visual screen soon changed. Finding myself in a strange room with no windows, white plain walls, no doors and only an empty doorway into the next room, I found myself on my feet exploring this new area fully lucid and aware.
Not knowing exactly why I had so easily and effortlessly entered lucid I was very excited. Always thinking the traditional ways of becoming lucid by mere chance or even self hypnosis were extremely lacking, I was very happy my approach, so easy and simple worked perfectly although it was not my intent to become lucid but only to sleep.
Every once in awhile, everything would fade back to my original blank/black screen of glowing dim light and always being able to bring myself instantly back into the lucid as easily as it had happened by relaxing and letting go. Although it was strange because every time the dream resumed, it was as if nothing happened like closing your eyes for a moment blocking all vision.
Exploring this strange house and finding many strange things I came across an odd black figure crouched over as if eating something on the floor, thinking this was very strange I looked closer and thought of a werewolf eating its prey.
Soon after I realized I had made a grave mistake and my subconscious eagerly created the scenario and the werewolf quickly leapt across the room and was very close to me snarling. Not exactly scared but defiantly startled, my vision soon faded back into the black glowing dim patterns of light I knew only too well.
Catching the alarm clock one last time and deciding it was time to get up, smiling and going over whether or not I should write this on the astral pulse forums. Knowing fully well others could benefit from this information or at least a good story it was decided, I would.
Having always been a long time reader of these forums, and short time poster, I hope everyone enjoys this. Please posts any constructive comments or questions as you wish.
Although it might have been more practical to not write this as a story I felt it would make it more interesting and pleasant to the reader, if not enjoyable, at least more in depth than "the usual".
I wish you all pleasant dreams.
This is an awesome post. I knew I'd like it when I saw the word "experimenting."
I've been trying to implement the focus of getting rid of resentment... but I keep ending up asking the question, what kind of resentment? Is it an emotional resentment, a distaste, a non-preference, or hatred?
I'm sure I'll get over that ;) Thanks again.
I'm glad you enjoyed my post and hope others will share their comments on the subject as well. On another notes, based on your reply I have decided to share some thoughts of mine on a similar subject. I hope you take the time to read them and wish you the best of luck.

Cool post zConzept!
Has this technique worked since you posted the above. I mean can you do it at will or was it a nonrecurring experience?
I always ahve trouble falling asleep when there is noice, so I shure would love to take over your methode.
Cheers Tom
Seems to work better on some days and harder on others, but it is repeatable. I suspect it will get easier with persistent practice.
I have always had a lot of problems sleeping in the past or even doing any kind of trance work, but these techniques have helped me increase my ability to do so. It has become more natural each day and thus easier.
Have also been working on other techniques to stimulate different mental affects, but I will do into that at a later date
