Possible New Technique? Ld4All

Hi there. I was wanting to share a little thing i do sometimes as a precursor to WILD that deviates from the typical types, such as SP, HH/HI and the sometimes exhausting task of keeping your mind awake past my normal bedtime boundaries. I found this out by accident one night. Basically, what i do is picture a real place that is very familiar to me, or a fictional place that i could picture very vividly. A real person or dream character is also usually visualized. I put myself in there, and basically just imagine the seen in real time but without any action. For instance, i imagined myself in the room of my best friend, which i knew very well. I imagined myself sitting there and her doing something like reading or watching TV. I keep that setting visualized vividly, and nothing else happens. Then when hypnogogia sets in, i'll snap to and realize that the other person i imagined looked up at me or started speaking without me realizing it at first, and that i hadn't used any input from my mind to do this as part of the scene in the first place. I havn't had a legitimately full-blown LD as of yet, but this has gotten me the closest i've been before. I believe if it happened minutes later then i would have been deep enough in stage 2 sleep for the LD to occur. I think of it sort of like programing your own HI. I'd like to hear any feedback about this tech whether positive or constructive criticism. Thanks guys! PS. sorry if this has been explored before in a diff thread, and if i put this post in the wrong place. It's a big forum <mod>Flown in to Quest For Lucidity on a dragon's back </mod>
