They only occur when I'm going to sleep the first time. I can't force them to occur, though often I think I'm getting close. I'll just be lying down, eyes closed, mind usually wandering. Suddenly I'll realize that I can see some sort of image projected in front of me. It's basically like I'm seeing through my eyelids. Usually I just see an image of my room from the way I'm facing, but I've also seen ivy and fingers. Then I open my eyes and I just see my room like it is.

I don't think it's HI, because it's before I fall asleep at all, but could it be? I'm always very aware when I see the images and I can make conscious decisions, which in the moment are usually to freak out and open my eyes because I don't want to see weird or scary things. I've never seen them before successful WILD and DEILD attempts, so what could they possibly be?
