I find that whenever I am sufficiently relaxed for long enough (lying down, eyes closed, of course), and allow my mind to wander, eventually, I will begin to experience very immersive hypnagogia. This will usually take the form of auditory hallucinations, kinesthetic sensations (as if the parts of my body are in different relative positions), feelings of acceleration, and, rarely, proper visual hallucinations, although I will often have a sort of sense of a visual scene, although I don't literally 'see' it.

These usually happen when I let my mind wander for a bit, and manage to forget my physical surroundings, and the fact that I am trying to relax and enter a dream. They typically last a few seconds, and I will be completely focused on them, and unaware of my physical body (like a full-fledged dream, only not as vivid). They seem to 'build up' in vividity, as if they are the first moments of possible dreams, and I suspect that if I didn't catch what was happening, then over a short while they would indeed become full-on non-lucid dreams.

When I do realise what is happening, there is usually about half a second of limbo (no perception, or very subtle perception), then I will rapidly snap back into exclusively perceiving my physical body, sometimes with an accompanying sensation, such as falling, or being hit by a 'wave' of physical senses. If I stay relaxed, then in about 20 seconds to 5 minutes (it varies a lot), if I allow myself to 'zone out' again, then another hallucination will usually occur.

The content of these experiences seems to be independent of what I am thinking about, and just sort of start happening when I am daydreaming and have temporarily forgotten my physical surroundings. The hallucinatory perceptions are often unrelated to each other (for instance, I may feel a sliding sensation, accompanied by snippets of a song I have recently heard) Some examples of recent perceptions I have had are hearing male voices chanting, feeling as though I am lying on my side in a ditch (when I am on my back in reality), feeling as though I am sitting up, and hearing a ukulele being played.

My question to you guys is, have any of you had similar experiences, either during WILD attempts, or when going to sleep normally? Has anyone any advice on how to 'hold' these hallucinations together (it seems to be very difficult to think about not thinking about one's physical body while making sure not to think about one's physical body ), and allow the experiences to develop into dreams while being lucid, or on how to encourage them to occur more frequently or vividly?
