Yeah I posted a thread in General Lucid discussion forum, just about this problem:

But. Somehow. Nobody was interested {and i understand it partially}.

About the information. Yeah it hit me. But before this post, I was just thinking, that Hypnagogic imagery is something fully different.

Well this is not the best description of HI in my opinion. I think it's debatable whether it is HI or mini snipits of dreams that you are experiencing. I'm interested to hear what you thought HI was. Honestly, unless you've experienced it, it's really hard to understand...so don't feel bad about not getting it.

I understand now. It is pretty difficult to know. It the same, as when I ask people, what is visualisation. They simply cannot tell me. Becouse it is so deep within their brains ...

I am not good at visual images. But from my experiences, it was the state, when i percieved something what was currently not present in reality. Just as the experience, when I was liing in my bed, and I heard music when there was no radio playing.

In my opinion. HI starts in transitional phase, so there is no reason, why it shouldnt be a little snippet of dream reality too. I felt it like being part of reality, but at the same time part of dream world. Now when i thing deeper about it. It seems to be more part of dream world {that experience} then reality.

Thats my {pretty inconsistent} description. But I am a noob. How do you percieve your HI.
What does it feel like?
How did you get there?
Can it be described? Or is it so varying?

Thanx if forward.

P.S: This is the way, how to approach teaching. You are good part of Educational team in my opinion.

Its wierd the way our brains work...
