I'm interested in trying Image Streaming. The questions I have are

1) Does it work in terms of allowing one to vividly visualize in all 5 senses?
2) If the visualizations are very intense does it compete with Lucid Dreaming?

I looked around this forum and it appears that most people who seemed to have tried it end up not reporting back on results after some time of practicing. It leaves me a little bit skeptical of the technique.
