Binaural Forum

Hi,
I'm new to i-doser and am looking for some tips for getting into 'trance'. I've tried a few; Inspire, Astral Projection, Sleeping Angel and Lucid Dream. So far the only ones to work are Inspire and Lucid dream but only nearly. I usually go in my room (door open because I only live with my mum and dog and their both quiet), get in bed, put on headphones (Pioneer MJ) and close my eyes. I try to quite my mind by counting down from a random high number such as 692 but i always find myself thinking to much. Not about things I need to do or major things going on, just little thoughts that I ponder. Also I use the iPhone App to do these so they always last 15 mins.
I am fairly young if this plays any factor at all (which I doubt).
Please any suggestions, tips or recommended doses would be great.

I recently tried Alcohol on my Mac which worked a lot better and lucid dream which worked yet again but still any tips?

I'm also a beginner and I wanted to ask if when I hear one dose more than once per week should I increase the effect of other benefits also.
