Often times, it will seem that instead of just seeing the back of my eyelids, that I will actually be in a black hole, or the "void" as I call it. That the space has taken on a 3D element. That my consciousness will actually be in this vast emptiness. That I don't have to physically keep my eyes close. From there it is easy to just start moving, but you have to be in the void, you can't be able to feel your real body, or hear the fan in the background. Once in this void, you can just literally drift into one of your HI images. Or you can "roll" or conscious, and try to walk out of your room when you feel like you are floating. I sometimes won't get sight, but I can feel, hear, and touch things. I don't know if I am being clear or not, sorry if not. But that is the best way to explain it, some people actually zoom through the void, into a dream scape, others step into a dream.
You know, after a lot of trial and error, I've come to realize that it's this exact feeling I need to look for. I've seen a marked increase in my false awakenings, lately... but one in particular, I noticed that void you were talking about, but didn't really understand that that's what I noticed. I must've unconsciously noticed it, because my next thought was "This might still be a dream right now."
Depending on your views, this experience of mine could have actually been an unintentional AP. I got out of bed and it felt like I was moving my actual body. I didn't look behind me, but I bet I would've seen myself there. I know it was a WILD or AP though, cos my alarm clock ended up disrupting this scene.

Me too In the past, what I've done, especially if I'm stuck in some uncomfortable SP, is I'll try to introduce something to get my mind off of it. Best one for me is to try to reintroduce the relaxation phase back into the game. Only this time, with each exhale (since I do a breathing technique) it sinks me lower into my couch, deeper into a trance. I tried this once and managed to produce SP vibrations.
As a general reminder to the thread readers, there is a very high chance that once you pass through the HH sensations (like the vibrations, or noises or imagery) and you just see black, you might feel like you are still awake and lying wherever it is you are lying... but you may already be asleep at this point. Really good practice to do a small RC check, like pinching your nose and trying to breathe. You may be pleasantly surprised!
