Thread: I H8 Reality's VILD Technique

Ok, so you're saying is. I wake up early in the morning, I just lay there and i imagine myself jumping my fence in my backyard?

This is a really good idea. I tried to VILD last night but the places I wanted to go were to unfamiliar for me to successfully imagine myself in those places.

Techniques like this one gotta feel pretty weird. First you know that you are daydreaming and feel yourself lying in bed, then all of a sudden you're not daydreaming anymore, but are instead "put" in your daydream (so to speak).

How does it feel to go from being conciouss about your daydream to (when it becomes a ld) being conciouss in it?

What kind of "feeling" can I expect if I were to succeed with this technique?
If I know what to expect, then maybe it will be easier for me to make it happen

I've known about this thread ever since it was created, and for years now I have been studying and testing my ability to visualize. Yes I've been successful as far as deilding with it, I can remember thinking about being in my backyard and I actually started my dream off there which was unusual since they usually start in my bed.

I just want to say some of the success with this method has motivated me further to studying the visual/tactile simulations the mind can create.

I have not actually done this from being completely awake (more in a half asleep state) But it is my goal to be able to do it like such. Problem is I put so much focus into the images and it is very hard to concentrate in the mornings. I have discovered that movement in the visualization is crucial to keep it alive, from rotating the scene the brain is forced to generate new info were as the same info held too long just dies. My most vivid mental images came from pre-sleep states before I slip into sleep or half awake states in the morning as I'm waking up. My brain always wants to visualize new things that are very much unlike the places that my day takes place in. Most of the strongest images I've visualized have been random nonesense landscapes that I have never seen before that just come to mind. However I can visualize my house/college/naighborhood/highschool/faces with fairly good detail however they seem "far off" in my minds eye.
