Consciously controlling auditory+partial image pre dream state.
Ok I dont fully understand the mechanics of how the brain allows the dream state to initiate but I have been going through an interesting expirience. This usually works if im intoxicated(I am not promoting drinking, alcohol should be handled resposibly). When I have a day off and I go out drinking with friends I would get a buzz, this also makes me sleepy. I would come home and I would wanna go to sleep, I would go on the computer and watch a movie or something. Here is where it get interesting. During a movie I would feel myself dozing off, being naturally stubborn I would wanna finish the movie and fight my body against its wishes to go to sleep. In this case I would start dozing off in front of the pc, as I doze off but make a conscious effort to stay awake my eyes would start to close, during this process I would begin getting auditory and visual input with me eyes closed. I would start to hear voices talking and in some cases even vivid images. Upon shutting my eyes I would make the conscious effort to stay awake and open my eyes again ending the effect. Once my eyes start to shut again I would begin expiriencing the vocal effect again. In some case the images would become very vivid and the voices become loud enough as if in the same room.
Any thoughts?
