Often abbreviated V-WILD or VILD, a common variant of the WILD technique is to incorporate a visualization component. As your hypnagogic imagery forms it is possible to manipulate it and use your visualization powers to create a dream. Usually in high levels of consciousness you will not actually see your visualizations, you only get the concept of it. Conceptualization is a better term for this early stage of visualization. As your hypnagogic hallucinations become more detailed you should start to sense your visualizations with your sight and other senses as well. It's important to sense with all of your senses, not just the visual one. Obviously, the visual sense is one of the most important, but so it tactile senses and audio senses. These increase the realism of your visualization.
It is important to not attempt to control every aspect of your dream scene here, you want to both give input to the dream as well as receive output back. For instance if you are visualizing a car, don't try to visualize what the dash looks like, what kind of seats it has and things like that, just the abstract concept of the car. Your dream will create the car as it sees fit. You create the concept, let your dream will fill in the details.
With this variation of the WILD technique you can paint your own dream landscape, however without good visualization skills this can be difficult.
