Thread: How come everyone else gets to stare?

Maybe Im not up on all the terms but WTF is hypnoherloyanlinkhypogonginicus imagry ?

He is refering to the hypnagogic hallucinations.

So why not just call it hypnagogic hallucinations.

I find that staring at them doesn't help too much... but if I start deforming it with my mind, all of a sudden, I get thrown into the vibrations. E.g. Yesterday morning, one of the images was a night sky with a lot of stars... I started moving the stars around in my mind (kinda made them into reverse-shooting stars haha), and boom, vibrations.

Unfortunately, once my vibrations start, all HI disappears, and I'm pretty much just there with my eyes closed, and then it all recedes, and I get a _real_ awakening... Must learn to focus more...

The HI don't help me get into the dream, only to get lulled towards sleep. Once I have the sense I am nearing SP and start hearing HS, I don't concentrate on the HI, but on how my body feels instead. When I'm ready I get up out of bed and start my LD. I wish I could watch the HI and start in some new dream scene each time, but I find if I concentrate on them too much I either fall asleep or am startled awake by some image.

I keep forgetting how to spell hypnagogic, so I just put something that sounded familiar.

And you came up with "hypnoherloyanlinkhypogonginicus". LMAO!!

Hey Shlumpeet...if the HI is distracting then why not just ignore it. Hell...just let yourself fall asleep. I don't know if this method will work for you but it has worked for me hundreds of times. I call them "unintentional WILDs" ...I think the name speaks for itself.

I just lay down to take a nap...let my mind drift off into nothingness...sometimes I fall asleep and go lucid...sometimes I am brought back to consciousness during the vibrational state either way I usually end up in a lucid. Don't know how I get there. Just happens.

But my sleeping is so shallow that even after my dream is over I can sort of wake up and close my eyes and fall right back into another lucid. Though...sometimes I have to wait through all the HI and vibrational state again...can do this over and over. Quite fun! But the HI can get really annoying when it lasts for a few minutes. Sometimes I get impatient and just wake up.

Sigh...hopefully my lucid drought will end soon. I miss my marathon lucid naps.

i havnt gotten close to wilding in a long time. partly to the fact that im afraid to cuz i cant call alseep after cuz my concentration is so high.
