Turns out I've Been Experiencing Hypnogolgia During Meditation

[darksidessj25]

I thought I was seeing visions all this time, but I totally forgot about hypnogolgia. I guess I can enter the lucid dream state pretty easy since I been meditating for almost 3 years for 2 hours a day. I been doing dream yoga what the monks do during meditation sometimes. I didn't know you could bend and move the shapes and colors you see into something. I'm going to try that today and see what I can do with it. I feel like an Idiot lol.

You say that like you think visions and hypnogogia are two things unconnected. 

There's nothing you can experience that isn't DIRECTLY connected via awareness and consciousness.

Hynogogia is the state of mind where when your eyes are closed you see images but your not quite asleep. It's a projection but your consciousness is not fully transitioned to astral. Your trying to box the experiences and this is not giving you an accurate picture of what's happening. I suggest you listen to Xanth he's much better at explaining this than I am. But your projection is merely placing your conscious mind in a different place other than resting in physical. It's an internal experience and its a spectrum. THere is no here or there only degrees of shifting. It just takes on that appearance.
