That's an interesting picture. I'd say my H.I. looks like what you get on Photoshop when you use the Lights render, but with multiple colours and obviously animated. |

I used to experience HI and HS and I would not even realize there was anything unusual. One night I was so aware when it happen that it startled the hell out of me! I kept seeing this man and his daughter sitting on a step talking. I sat straight up and went to my computer to look up what I'd just experienced. After realizing what HI was (this was after being interested in LDing, I'm surprised I hadn't read about it earlier), I stopped experiencing it for a few months. |

mine looks almost like what you would see when looking at an aurora borealis. then my mind will wander and I begin to start watching a dream like a movie, pretty much my whole vision is filled. when i get to this point i usually feel like i'm about to fall asleep and unintentionally bring back my conscious thought and then I feel reality again(and know reality because 100% of time RC shows reality). if i let it go i feel that I might fall asleep and probably do when i wake up in the morning. i've even laid there for about 2 hours in SP doing it over and over but no success... |

That's what I'm curious about. Mine tend to just start off as images, almost just like different photographs flashing before my eyes. I haven't gotten to the point where they are animated or linked, but I've never seen the color flashes and etc. that I've read so much about. |
|
And yet, when doing a WILD I get SO bored |

Hmm that's strange. That's all I see. Random glimpses I guess into the dream world. People, objects, etc., but never anything abstract. They are usually highly defined, but are so hard to focus that they disappear instantaneously. Sometimes I'll see something, and seconds later can't remember what it was. The brain is such a fantastic thing |

It is indeed. |

Shift, I'm fascinated by your description of your HI. Especailly with the orientation. It brings to mind so many things I've heard about left/right brain dominance, eye position during sleep, ect. I hope we get enough people describing their HI to draw some conclusions. This would make a great research project. |
|
To put things straight, HI is the what you see when you have your eyes closed isn't it? |

I assumed Shift was referring to the flashes of imagery you get while you are drifting off to sleep. |
|
If it's what you get whilst falling asleep, then I don't think I've experienced it. Can you only feel/see it after you go into SP? If so, then I've never seen or felt it. |

No, I always get it before SP, though SP isn't a requirement for WILDing, I'd guess I enter SP just as I'm going into the dream, though sometimes in the beginning if I move, or try too hard to move, Ill move in real life and wake myself up because of it. |
|
But isn't SP what you truly need in order to WILD unless you're really experienced? |

Well I haven't experienced it like some people here have. I haven't experienced the whole "I can't move or do anything no matter how hard I try" |
|
Exactly, I think it is such an interesting concept/topic! I would love to form some sort of survey and figure this out, and I agree: everyone please post some input so we can get an idea of this phenomenon! |
|
No, I have never successfully WILDed. I have gotten as far as vibrations and etc., what you would call the entrance to SP, and I always experience the hallucinations before that point. I experience them after just laying in bed relaxing, not even while consciously trying to WILD or anything. Usually (probably this is why I fail), when I start feeling my muscles jerking and vibrating, all I see is black because I am too concentrated on my physical body. I guess I need to continue to focus on other things to let go of my physical body and enter sleep/dreaming. Hmm, that's a good revelation from this topic! |

I've never successfully WILDed, but from everything I've read you've just got to remain calm, and keep letting the images come to you. I guess they start become more and more realistic and encompassing, and eventually they form the reality not that you are seeing in your "mind", but that you exist in, at which point you enter the dream. |

I hear noises first, basically just someone talking about random crap, and it's usually in my right ear only. And I see someone or something in the right side of my vision spectrum. |
|
I am actually not sure if I hear sounds or see images first. I will have to pay attention to that detail. |
|
The times I've WILDed.. there's always a huge dropoff for me; almost similar to what Robot Butler said about feeling like he missed something. Suddenly I realize I'm in the midst of some very serious imagery; and then I sort of pull myself into the front of my brain to bring everything into focus. But so far I've had to go almost completely unconscious to get to the point where the imagery is intense enough to enter. |
|
so pretty much it seems that there is a very fine line that each person needs to find where they are in between sleep and consciousness and use their HI to drag them in? If you are too conscious then there is no use and if you are too tired you may just fall asleep. |
|
I've WILDed 3 times now and still haven't had HI yet. I just enter straight into the dream. |
