"hypnogogic imagery" thats a new one...but that probably explains it. It's good to know that theres a reason for all of this stuff...instead of crap like "the devil is riding my back" or someone has me hexed or something. but yeah...i'm going to try again tonight...and then after I wake up and type in my dream journal if it doesnt happen. thanks alot guys =). oh and about the HS...I guess they were real...like every sunday that guy rides his bike around and theres a TV on in this house 24-7. Oh about the HS...yeah I remember during my last LD (wich happened right after SP) I still heard everyone in the living room talking. Will that always happen? or can i tune that out in the dream? Like use a command like "silence" or something?
