Thread: I've had several successf WILDs, but I've never had hynagogic imagery. Not even once. Am I retarded?

You can have any or no HH, and still enter LD. No two transitions are the same. I can go weeks with only images, then weeks with only falling sensations, then only vibrations, then mix of any of them... Not sure why or what controlls the HH we experience, what draws them out. I suggest to just use the one you have at the moment.

Yay! Gab replied to my thread

But on a serious note I know that you could enter a lucid dream without HH, but I've never heard of anyone who has never ever experienced any imagery ever during an attempted WILD after such a large amount of attempted WILDs, even you've experienced it before. You make a really good point by mentioning how we're not sure what causes what type of HH, though. I guess I'll just wait in the darkness for my dreams to come to light...
