Was I close?

Quest for Lucidity
1

Ok I am attempting a WILD

And the usuall numbness happens, yet no HI
after 20 minutes I starting shaking and my eyes are unmovable.

Simple Question(I Think)
Was I close? How Close?

You might have been! What do you mean by shacking? Vibrations? In that case, you are closing in. Its strange how you havent seen HI yet though. Next time, try visualizing things, like things you want to do. The visualisaztion might turn into HI.

if i normally never get HI, could visualizing actually turn into HI for me? if so, that would be awesome. im working on improving my visualization skills as i speak.

I could be that you aren`t quite aware of what HI really is. HI is usually purple, yellow or green cloudy dots, wich appears when you close your eyes. Ever tried to stare into the light of a lamp or something, and then when you close your eyes, you can see an image of the lamp? It looks just like that.

Later on these clouds will turn into images, so HI arent always “imagery”.

now before they turn into real images you might even have dozed of into sleep already, so bevare, and good luck!

Actually some people never get Hypnagogic Imagery, so it’s nothing to worry about. If you feel strange, like you would be spinning or rolling or raising up and down or being sucked into a hole etc., that’s HH aswell.

You can also experience HH in the form of strange sounds like whirrs, clicks, even people speaking.

Once again, do correct me if I’m wrong. :tongue:

yeah, the form of HH i get most of all is the spinning sensation. id love to get visual HI although :sad:

i do get the afterimage of a lamp and i see spots of colors when the room is bright, but when it is dark, i never see anything…even when i WILD (never been successful but i have gotten to SP)

I think that by conciously intensifying this spinning sensation by imagining or visualizing you can success in WILDing. Although I haven’t had a succesfull WILD either, I know this is possible. You should try it out the next time you get these cenesthetic hallucinations :yes:.

hmmm, thats a really good idea, ive never really thought of persuing it that way. i guess thats similar to using your HI to enter a window, except this is using your HH to spin into a dream…intersting

usually i just let my mind wander as i fall asleep and then, when i get close to actually falling asleep, i take control again and just clear my mind, occupy it and whatnot. hasnt quite worked yet although, but it does get to SP

oh, one more thing…does anyone any idea how to go about intensifying these sensations?

i mean ill probably figure it out next time i get HH, but if anyone could describe how to go about intensifying i think it would be a great help :smile:
