      Question Is this hypnogogic imagery?

      Sorry, but I've never had a lucid dream useing WILD before, and I was wondering. Sometimes in deep hypnotic trances I see blurry shapes in my vision, usually one color (yellow), vaguely moving against a dark background. These happen after about 20 minutes in a deep trance, and sometimes I can control them. Any body else seen this?

      P. S. I think I've found a good boring but logical WILD procedure: repeating the times tables? I've never had a wild before but I thought it might work... just a thought..,

      Edit: I also (for those people who don't do trance) get these while highly relaxed and before I fall asleep.

      Yes, that's what hypnagogic imagery is. HI can be colors, shapes, images or even entire scenes and they may range from blurry and wispy to bold and vivid. There is also hypnagogic audio, which may occur along with the imagery or by itself.

      Physical sensations can also occur during the hypnagogic state.

      Thank you very much, Oneironaught. I have been too scared to try a WILD because of the hypnogogic imagery, audio and whatnot. Maybe I'll pluck up the courage!

      I use HI's as my gateway to lucids. That along with audio entrainment seem to work well with WILDS.

      Why? Hypnagogia is far less vivid than the actual dream (which is your goal) .

      I have never found HI frightening at all..in fact for fun with friends i have put myself into deep relaxation and repeated aloud what I was hearing voices say or what random objects or scenes i was seeing.
