Thread: Weird thing that i've always been able to do

This is probably HI, or hypnagogic imagery. HI is the usually the first thing that WILDers experience at the onset of dreaming. It is interesting that you can actually control these images because HI is known to be quite random.

Or just really fine-tuned visualizations. I have a hard time visualizing things, but I know that there are people that can just close there eyes and see something.

I'm a visual learner, but I never get HI before dreaming or anything like that. I think there are tutorials on the site to become more visual, though.

My partner recently told me that she is able to do something very similar to what you are describing, except her's are accompanied by sensations of her body vibrating, and she can't control what she sees. She said that is happens to her several times a day, often unbidden. She said the only way she has been able to stop it from happening is by doing or visualizing kata (karate forms).

My HI always starts out random, and catches me by suprise, but if I concentrate, then I too can control my HI. It's not a very direct form of control though; It's more like 'asking' my eyes/mind to display something and waiting and hoping it comes up, or holding an image in my imagination long enough for my HI to decide to mimic it.

hey as you I'm new to these and didn't know what lucid dreaming was till I signed up. After my sign up I never came back. this is my 2nd day on the forums really. But, as you do. the images I can create and manipulate them pretty good. But, can't actually get to SP when I do this.
