Thread: Hypnagogic images always disappear :( What to do?

I still suggest gazing. Just look and take in the whole picture, without looking at something specific. The best thing to do is experiment, the imagery will come back even if you distrupt it for a second.

I don't really understand what you are trying to say Merlock. Perhaps we mean the same thing, at least that's the impression I got.

Well, "gazing", in essence, means focusing on your eyes, on a physical action. When seeing hypnagogia, you're basically in a meditative trance, when your focus is shifting from your body to your mind entirely (from waking to sleep). If you focus on your body, such as focusing on physical vision, you'll awaken.

I said gaze into the distance, with which I mean, don't move your eyes or choose a spot in the distant blackness. Visual imput can't really be changed by will so however you look or whatever you look at, shouldn't stop your progress. You don't really see with your eyes. Do you mean focusing on visualisation and daydreaming? That's the only way I know to change focus and I have succeded by "looking at" HI before.

Try not to move your eyes. I noticed that when I moved my eyes during HI they tend to fade. The HI images you see come from your mind, not your eyes!!
