I was caregiving my father-in-law and we both needed sleep-I was laying on an air mattress next to him, he had dementia and his anxiety and pain were cycling him up. I cast a circle cocoon like structure around us and we both slept for hours peacefully.

Hi, I'd recommend reading the book, Liminal Dreaming: Exploring Consciousness at the Edges of Sleep by Jennifer Dumpert. It's a thorough examination of the various stages of sleep with an emphasis on hypnagogia and hypnopompia, which occur before and after deep sleep, where one can dream/ envision quickly. I've always been able to liminal dream but it's hard to remember... like snowflakes melting on contact. It becomes easier with practice. Her website is here: https://www.liminaldreaming.com/
