I have been training myself to blink in Morse Code patterns in hope that I can transcribe live from within a dream one day.

I thought you guys might appreciate this: http://hackaday.com/2012/06/20/communic ... our-dreams.

That sounds like an incredible project; very ambitious. Is there anywhere you want to go with this in the future?

And as regards dreaming, I have, in the past, been able to fall asleep and start dreaming almost immediately during 15-30 minute nap periods. Either that implies I was somehow able to get into a REM state quickly, or REM state isn't needed for dreaming?

It's one of those things that confuses me, like how it is said that one should not be able to remember memories from the age of 4 and under - but I have very vivid memories of that time, and I know it was from that time because I moved country halfway through the age of 4.

Adepto what I do is every time I hear "it is said" coming out of my or anyone elses' mouth I stop and check the Belief System thinking. I also check why something has "always been done" in a certain way as many times there is actually no good reason do do it that way, but rather just habit.
Love

Thank you. I just plan on improving the quality - not sure where it will take me...

There are many variables that influence when the onset of the REM state occurs. With practice, it can be entered into directly from waking.
