Dream Herbs?

I keep practicing Samuel Sagan's throat friction technique, I can say that it really works to stimulate quiet fast the pressure between my eyebrows. I keep seeing those shapes, even had some eyes looking straight back at me! Kind of freaky the first time it happened. I don't know what it is... Is it some kind of Astral entity or just my imagination?

Later on today, I will experiment combining Robert Monroe' s Focus 10 CD follow by Samuel Sagan's practical CD 1. The Monroe one really can knock my body out to sleep, so maybe from there, my 3rd eye stimulation will be more intense and I'll be able to reach a deeper Focus 12?

The only negative part of last week has been my dream recall. I could not remember much at all, maybe because of some bad sleeping patterns... I was surfing the net yesterday and I end up ordering some Calea zacatechichi and some California poppy. It might help with my sleeping and my dream recall. I want to give it a try...

Memory

I think that one of the most important problem(aside perseverance) for most of the people and myself trying to achieve Astral Projection is "memory recall"...

It's not so easy to recall dreams with many details so I think that an other field I need to improve is "memory recall"upon awakening. I've been doing since a few days this exercice from Stephen Laberge: Prospective Memory Training, it sounds simple at first but it is not and require a lot of will and concentration.

I've also got on my tablet yesterday this free application: Memory Trainer which is pretty cool but so damn difficult for me, but I think that with time and practice, it will help me a lot for my quest.

Also, one important thing that I've noticed with time is that good sleeping is so important for dream recall and AP practice. But unfortunatly, I suffer of insomnia from time to time, I really need to try to fix this... but when I'm able to have a good night sleep, AP exercices, are a lot more positive.

3 Dreams last night

For the first time in my life I was able to remember 3 different dreams last night. I've been practicing Stephen LaBerge's book: Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming and all I can say is that his tips work pretty well.

I woke up 3 times total and everytime,, I took the time to write down on my notebook what I've experienced in dreamland... 3 dreams totally different from eachother, but they just felt so real... Whithout going much into details, here are the main parts of those dreams:

1st dream: Myself and an older guy were in car chase after 2 other guys, it end up quite bad with 1 shotgun being fired.
2nd: I was in my hometown in France with a friend in a supermarket stealing food for an unknown reason...LOL
3rd: In the forest, prehistoric time with a bunch of people hunting mammoths with big sticks.

It's pretty cool stuff when you can get better at remembering your dreams... I don't believe that dreams like many people think are to warn us or future events... I think that there are real but not real in physical way of speaking, to me it's some kind of an other plane/reality.
