I think you are confused. When you're about to fall asleep, you usually lose consciousness before going into Sleep Paralysis. If you manage to remain conscious when your body enters Sleep Paralysis (sometimes before aswell) you will start seeing images. They are the beginning of a dream basicly.
If you keep on staying still and remain conscious, you will end up in a dream and you've just used the WILD technique.
Okay... then what is HILD. it doesn't tell you much about it in the DV dictionary.Quote:

Sleep Paralysis is not the proper term, but it is more descriptive and recognizable to most people.
oh okay. that makes sense. thanks
