HI - Hypnagogic Imagery for any newbies.

~~~

Anyway, this is the first time I've really created a topic on how I become lucid sometimes. Recently, this has been happening often, so I've decided to post about it. Does anyone out there somehow use fear to induce HI/LDs? I wake up at night using autosuggestions, and then I half-purposefully envision a white ghostly dot in the center of my vision. I instantly get a very primal fear (stronger than anything I've experienced in real life), and as soon as I shut my eyes to get away from this evil entity, I enter HI, and then a dream, usually a false awakening. I know that my explanation was a little vague, but I'm wondering if anyone wants to experiment with this or if anyone has had any experience. Thanks.
