Actually, I was referring to control in a general sense
of your daily experiences. A good example, anytime I have
a conversation with a group of people and try to interject
something, if I am repeatedly interrupted, I will drop
what I am going to say. Nobody is really paying attention
anyway, and in generaly I find that I end up looking a bit
foolish for trying to repeatedly say the same thing.

When someone cuts you off while driving, let your anger
follow them - forget about them.

Now, as for keeping from falling asleep - practice practice
practice.

Once I was able to shift back and forth between consciousness
and unconsciousness. My mind was fully awake, yet I could
not feel my body at all. I could drift off into a dream and
watch as a complete 3-dimensional world was being creating before
me in one master artist's brush stroke - a world with individuals,
scenerios, plots - more than a book could ever represent.
Before I 'fell into' this world - I pulled myself back without
'waking up'. Then, I allowed myself to drift once more, and
a whole NEW world was created. I pulled myself out the second
time, and woke up.

It is tough stuff - you should never meditate with aspirations
of achieving some kind of enlightenment or vision. Instead,
your goal should be to merely relax, and to practice siliencing
the voices in your head.
<p>
If I mediatate 50 times, maybe 3 or 4 will be enlightening.

A good clue that you are doing something 'right' is if you
can feel your body vibrate. I have heard of masters that
can change their vibration frequency and even shift the
phase 180 degrees. If you feel the vibrations, try to
maintain them, amplify them if you can.

I'm not crazy, it's the voices in my head, they're the ones
who is crazy!
