i think i mentioned years ago maybe about
how easy it was for me to apprehend auditory
conversations before anything visual came
into play. It was a snap to do that. It
just happened whenever i relaxed enough.
But it never developed into anything visual.
i would pull myself out of it like waking
up and it would stop. I thought i was
catching cell phone conversations or something.
I never knew what they were about. Do you
get auditory stuff when your visions come around?
Or is it just a cinema show ?
### - well maybe that's how you've been doing it then?
letting audio sounds rather than images pull ya into ordinary sleep?
never gets audio here until the WILD begins, instead get vague shapes
followed by vague images (one turned into an incredibly clear face the
other day and startled me...) then a scene of sorts, looked closely at a
tree's branches and was pulled straight in!
hearing sounds is defo indicating an altered state tho, so maybe you could
use that either to WILD directly (dunno if that'd work...) or just using
audio to get to the place where images can also then be seen and then go
from there...
lots of peeps have difficulty getting to see any hypnagogia at first, and
it's always been something to do with either not being relaxed enough (as
in not feeling any body changes) and/or something to do with how they hold their eyes wrongly by focusing too close making the eyes ache and jump
about, or chasing after any patterns/images with their eyes, something
which dispels the images altogether and then they have to start over...)
i still bet on the second method of relaxing changing it for you, you need
to go just a little farther out to where the images appear/can be viewed,
so go all-out for getting completely relaxed (which you'll know you've
reached by then experiencing some bodily sensations) + later it'll prolly
all settle down to something less extreme anyway...
just be determined to 'break through' the impasse and somehow you'll
'make' it happen
i.e., as you're first laying there be determined just before you start
(intend it as jer would say heh:) and then start the process and see what happens...
