Thread: The Flash.

Almost definately, this was your brain's imagery (Hypnologic imagery) kicking in. It's just something that happens as you fall asleep.

Yeah, it sounds like HI.

Since we're on subject: At night I can see Images Float around, usually extremely abstract alien looking like things, or groteque, but whats weird is, Im never near sleep. I can see them as soon as I get into bed and look for them, provided the room is dark. Would that still be considered HI or just a screwed up imagination?

Forsaken, those could be simple phosphenes.
I get the same thing and they are phosphenes, the same colours, shapes and flashes you get when you close your eyes and focus.

The thing is, they're not just shapes and flashes. They're much more detailed. And I don't close my eyes, either. I can just look up at the ceiling, and sort of passively watch the pictures float around and stuff.

I tend to get the same things too, and I've realized that I don't need to close my eyes. It seems that as long as it's dark or semi-dark your eyes don't need to be closed because it is dark enough without your eyes closed.

i know wta u mean and i get the same thing, i always assumed it was teh brain neural things mentioned earlier. Usually i just sort of see each one and it floats off. I was watching some spirals get samller when i got to the hypnagogic state of sleep and im guessing the spiralls helped.

Since we are talking about green and hypnagogic imagery.....
Does anyone get a green radioactive doughnut that keeps going either towards you or away from you? I have been getting this doughnut for AGES!!! Please tell me if you do (and I do not eat that many doughnuts..... I prefer muffins&#33 -Stoat

HORRAY FOR HYNAGOGIA: What a wonderfully weird thing
Last night I was close to falling asleep, to no avail tryin WILD again, and I noticed 2 very white bright flashes of light sort of ''passing by'' in my field of Vision.

I have like a tiny window above my door, through which often my mom's or the hall-light shines a bit. Sometimes while getting close to Sleep induced HI you, without knowing it, let your eyes kind of ''fall open'' for a couple of inches in split seconds for several times. I assume that when I'm already so ''far away'' that I hardly notice that my eyes are (EVEN WIDE sometimes) open sometimes while almost falling asleep. I can Imagine the brief and hazy light shining through that window over my door may be interpretted as, not external light, but as an internal impulse which the Hypnagogia PICKS UP and furtherly develops.


Interresting. This window above my Door is RIGHT in front of my eyes the Position I fall asleep. I might try covering that window with some Transparrent-Green plastic or something to see if it would Bring Green-ness or bright Green objects into my Dreams. If it is True that the Hypnagogia picks up this Sublime, Split-second lasting External Light and Weave it into my Dream ( green Skies for instance )the this simple Green light could Induce great Green DreamSigns.

I notice no one else gets the doughnut............ PLEASE, somebody tell me about the doughnut!!! Err, sorry for that, I am just wanting to find other people who get the doughnut!

It's nothing to worrry about, I get that when I tired. It happens must before REM sleep.
