Focus: Motionlessness and Breathing
Motionlessness is easy enough--although wondering if body should be kept in position or totally limp.
Breathing is easy to regulate, due to many years of meditation.
Thoughtlessness is extremely difficult. Making mental notes and trying to remember all of the procedures very distracting. Also, some time into the exercise, consciousness was lost and thoughts went flying free (dreaming?) However, snapped back to regular consciousness before set alarm.

29 April 2007
Motionlessness and Breathing Regulation:
Eyelids became heavy, so unsure if to resist (forcing movement) or to succumb. Fell asleep well about five minutes of starting exercise. Probably due to the fact that I did not sleep since Thursday. Slept from appr 12:35 AM to 1:11 PM.
Dreams, however, extremely vivid. Many subjects--almost too many to remember. Topics include: transportation, housing/homesickness, sex, pornography, vomiting, cleaning, transportaton (via train), and other random nonsense. Story in a narrative format that cannot be recalled at the moment. But very memorable, nonetheless.
