Sorta' phasing

[eflynn]

I haven't yet found a suitable rundown for me.  Mostly, I think, because I find it difficult to think about any specific thing for too long.  My mind likes to "branch-out" so to speak.  

I do, however, allow myself sometimes to get sucked into my own imagination in a way that sounds remarkably similar to what you guys are talking about here.  It works like this: I'll have just woken up in the middle of the night for some reason (snoring, toddler interference, bathroom break, etc.) and when I lay back down to go to sleep, I'll either start thinking about whatever it was I was just dreaming about (if I can remember) or I'll start thinking about something else that is interesting.  

After a little while, one of three things will happen: I will get too involved in my thoughts and not fall back to sleep, I will fall asleep right into the dream and not realize it until I am waking up again (most common), or I will fall asleep into the dream and realize I am no longer awake in my bed but conscious in my dream.  At this point, I can take over the dream but I usually don't get very far as the excitement typically wakes me up.  

Anyhow, it sounds like what I do is like phasing but without the control.  Anyone else do this?

Hey eflynn,

Sounds like phasing to me although, by no means at this point am i an expert.

I have been reading about Phasing intensively for the past two days. If you can already LD on some attempts (even if you don't get too far) I'd say your on the right track.

I too haven't figured out a run-down but haven't put to much attention into creating one for myself. I suppose that is something i will develop slowly in time as i figure out what suites my focus best.

For the past two nights all's I've done is close my eyes and watch the blackness turn into shades, turn into patterns, turn into colours, turn into images.

Last night i remember seeing hexagons locked together, all the colours of the rainbow fading into each other, i was so amazed just by this little event i lost my focus... I think i need to calm down a little. hehee

I'd say we both have a fair way to go, but ain't the journey just so much fun  

Cheers,
