Thread: Need help, not quite lucid dreaming...

I'd say it's Hypnagogic imagery like some others said. I have heard about image streaming, but I guess that's some kind of method/technique for improving whatever. I've had this douring the day and night for as long as I can remember. I hope there is some kind of professional name for it, since I want to know what it is or how common "seeing images" actually is.

Well I get this every night.

Thanks so much, i'll look into the HI thing because it is def when i'm sleepy or before i go to sleep. doesn't just start happening in the middle of the day (unless i've got my head o my desk).

That's so cool i never talke to anyone who did it before.

Bonsay, didn't you also report having problems with 'visual snow' and 'floaters' a while back?

I wonder if its somehow connected. Like the visual center of your brain is overactive?

Hey I've got the same thing, like parts of sentences that I heard that day or have never heard before and don't make sense, colours and images and everything just rushing around in my head. Although I don't really mind it, if I let it take me away I will fall asleep (it feels like a transition between being sleepy but awake and sleeping)

when I'm in the right state of mind for this, I can usually just make up a dream and start lucid dreaming as well.

oh and I sometimes get it when I'm awake too (I suddenly see ants crawling or something like that)
