Hi, this happened quite a while ago but thought I would mention it after being inspired by some threads.

So I had some extremely vivid hypnogogic imagery a while ago when I wasn't slacking on my DJ and things. The premise of the 'session' was a black background followed by various shapes then a huge colourful gears and mechanisms moving around (as an engineer this was amazing to see).

Anyway, I didn't seem to 'step' into any lucid dream (I have had lucid dreams the night before and recently) I remember this experience so vividly but i know it wasn't a lucid dream..I could hear my heart racing feel my breathing get heavier etc. I've not experienced this again and it was not WBTB it was at the very start of my night.

Any thoughts?
