More vibrations yesterday

I didn't have a chance to post this until today, but I decided to post something that happened yesterday afternoon.  I was very overtired and decided to lay down and rest for a bit.  I thought that it would be a good chance to practice and maybe make an attempt to project.  I started to take notice of the shifts in consciousness between awake and asleep.  It became really easy to notice, and soon, unexpectedly I became
very aware of vibrations.  I had not expected this to happen but since it had, I thought to just go with it and see what happened.  Strangely enough, I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, someone was playing load rock music in the house and I could not remember anything.  I think I must have just gone into dream state and forgot the dream.  I wonder though, what would have happened if my inconsiderate housemate had not cranked her music up full blast and woke me up.

Hi, thought I'd just throw out what seems to work for me.

To avoid distractions, setting up a routine schedule for practice early in the morning before anyone gets up helps me the most.

I've noticed that frequency of practice sessions leads to a definite level of proficiency. As proficiency requires steady and regular effort, maintaining this schedule is the most difficult thing for me, and I think for most people with busy lives.

Then privacy, and wearing ear plugs are pretty much essential for me.

You're deffinatly right about the idea of sceduled practice.  The mind and body seem to respond well to knowing what they are doing each day.  I like to practice at night before going to sleep, and I am thinking about trying to start waking up in the early mornings to try the idea of practicing after a bit of sleep, yet while still tired.  The day I practiced in the mid afternoon with people running around in the house.  However this is not something I tend to do as a rule.  I was just a little tired and since I went to lay down I just thought, well I may as well see what might happen.  I didn't think people would be that inconsiderate knowing that I had gone to lay down.
