HH are hypnagogic hallucinations. They are also called HI - hypnagogic images.

If you know that you may experience all kinds of sensation or HH, you could prepare yourself for that and not get excited or scared when something strange happens. Because no matter what happens, they are all hallucinations and they can not hurt you in any way.

Try to remember, that no matter how "real" you feel, you may be in a dream. Think about that during day. "wow, this feels real, but what if I'm in a dream"? Because remember, how "real" everything feels in a dream. We believe everything, we don't question anything in a dream, because it feels so real. Plus, that part of the brain which would tell us that we are not in a dream is asleep. That's what we are trying to keep awake with daytime awareness and when we WILD.

And don't worry about recall. That fluctuates for everybody. Sometimes for no apparent reason. It could be stress, different sleep schedule, being too tired and not waking up between sleep cycles,... It will come back. Just keep dream journaling and thinking and appreciating your dreams.

Thanks for all advices, i really appreciate that. im thinking of starting a real dream journal, maybe in my phone, texting the ideas and feelings and fragments of dreams, because normally i had a good recall, and i dont write them down (and i know that is important to write our dreams, to force our intention that dreams are important to us ), i mean, there are a lot of dreams that i still remember nowadays, dreams that had 10 years, dreams that i had on childhood etc. But, i will do dream journal, and focus more on that. thanks
