I needed to post this, I have never experienced a more relaxed and interesting sleep cycle as I did last night. I woke up this morning with the same alertness as when I was sleeping (or should I say, I slept with the same alertness as when I was awake).
I have been reviewing evidence based research regarding the pineal gland activiation - this is a very powerful gland in the human body... According to some research; Mayo clinic etc... the active ingredient produced by this gland is Melatonin, which could responsible for such things a possible cures circulation, ageing, sleep disorders the list seems endless. Accordingly the position of most papers is that "more research is required" before any final findings of the benefits can be established, rightfully so.
I decided to purchase Melatonin 10 mg capsules and tried one before bed to see if my sleep could be improved. I did not experience the negative effects as some people had listed within various reviews, I was not groggy, nor had vivid nightmares. What my experience was "alertness" I could either choose to sleep or stay awake, I woke up on occasion during my sleep cycle alert, however what was most interesting was the ability to dream directly from this alert state, and continue the same dream. I was able to rationalize my dream state with the same witnessing presence as I mentioned in my earlier post for looking into the mirror.
At the end of my sleep cycle, I made a conscious decision to end it, and the same silence and witnessing presence carried over. Today's activities and thoughts have begun filling my thoughts (planned activities, meetings etc...) but what a sense of silence, what a sense of awareness... I just wanted to share while I was still able to describe it. Don't mistake my comments / observations, I know I'm awake as I knew I was sleeping / dreaming but it was the ability to know that I was dreaming is the main point of the post this morning.
