Knocking

Only one fragment of a dream today but at least I am ticking over. I am working at trying to visualize (maybe it is the way forward) I read somewhere that basic visualizing (for example seeing a red circle) is easier if you can induce the hypnagogic state and I have managed to achieve that once so far...so I will try that route. 2.30 Myself and one other are on the run from some people. We are moving across a large open area and fearing that our pursuers are close behind. We know that a house belonging to these people is coming up ahead so we branch left into a much more built up area...and that was it. So far, since my return to Dream Views my dreams overall have been less and more disappointing and I cannot work out why. I have definitely been working more at ADA, I know all the mantras, and responses by heart. I do have more of a health issue at the moment but I have a hospital appointment and I am working on this problem. The only other change has been the position of my bed. For the first time for 15 years in this house I am sleeping north-to-south rather than east-to-west. I cannot see any logical reason why that should matter but I will get around to switching back for a few days to at least knock that theory out of the equation. As a by-the-way I have been Googling and I came up with this:- When people slept mostly on their stomach, one of the most common dream subjects was sex, such as believing that they had a secret admirer, often someone famous. Other dream themes that were common for stomach sleepers included feelings of being tied up, being locked up and being unable to move. What is this sleeping position's connection to dreams of feeling restricted? While that is not completely understood, the study's authors say it may be a result of the pressure that is applied to your face, chest and genitals when sleeping on your stomach. I do not think I will try this at the moment...I have enough trouble breathing as it is...
