question regarding F12(deep F10)

Hi everyone! I have recently joined and I would like to ask a question about the difference between the act when you observe sg in front of your "mind's eye" and when you observe the actual blackness in front of your closed eyes.

I have read that when you are going deeper into F12, you should shift your focus(no longer focus on the blackness in front of your closed eyes) and start to go inward. If you manage to go deeper like this, you will soon experience light patterns, shapes in front of your mind's eye(not the blackness in front of your physicall eyes).

Can anyone tell me how can I shift my focus in this way and start to observe space in front of my mind's eye? Is it the space where mental/hipnagogic imaginery appears? When I am doing the exercise, I passively observe the blackness in front of my real eyes in light F10, and hipnagogic images start to appear. Should I shift my focus to the area where these images are or should I continue to observe the blackness in front of my phisical eyes?

Remember that the hypnogogic images are in you mind, not in the blackness. Those images should become less and less hazy/dreamlike and more to the forefront of your "mental screen". I find that as this happens my thoughts start to flatten out like when I'm falling asleep, but I don't let myself fall asleep. It's a delicate balance. By staying passive yet aware through the hypnogogia, eventually a clear or 3D image may take over. If you allow your awareness to follow this, boom, F12. Don't be surprised if it's hard to hold or "follow" it at first and you find yourself back in F10.

thank you for the explanation.

Basicaly, I just let myself into dream state, let the hypnagogic images to appear, while being passive and maintaining some degree of awareness.
