Hypnagogic Imagery
Almost everyone whom I read describes HI as starting with lights or colors and slowly an image forms. For me it is always an immediate fully formed image...maybe like being in the dark and a dimmer turns on the lights in about one second. I think this might make it hard for me to WILD as it sort of startles me and I become more alert and it goes away as I pop back awake. I DILD so no big deal but curious if anyone else has HI like I do.

I do get all kinds of HH. And I know that one you talking about. I liken it to as if someone turned lights on behind translucent, semi-transparant glass. I also get an intense sound in my head when this happens and I'm just few seconds away from a LD at this point.
You may get used to it, but you are right, it does get me excited.
Next time when it goes away, try to pry open yur eyes with your dream hands, or stand up or roll out. You may be in a LD already.

only if I'm really tired where I could fall asleep right away, usually when in that phase, the hypnogogic imergry starts right away but when I perform a WBTB and I'm not tired, the swirling colors are the only things I see for about 10 minutes.

I have experienced various kinds of HH, visual, tactile, audio, it's fun part of process of falling asleep that many people don't notice, like gab said it's a good idea to try entering dream after them when doing WILD and do an reality check. :)
By the way, if you are interested in HH experiences, i suggest checking out this thread: http://www.dreamviews.com/general-lu...ns-thread.html :peek:
