Thread: Hypnogogic imagery and the realisation of it!

Its certainly an interesting experience, I've experience the stepping into a dream type scenario but lacked control over the whole situation. Where did you hear of this meditation technique? Just out of curiosity, were you trying to sleep when this was occurring?

I stumbled across this before I understood the basics of Buddhist meditation. I was exerting my will to fixate on and manipulate the imagery, and I suppose it would put me into a hypnotic vs. meditative state. Sometimes I'd even fall off into sleep, even though that wasn't my intent.

If I work on the wormhole imagery hard enough, it feels like I become part of it, hence the sensation of travelling down into it. And yeah, it's a very interesting experience.
