maybe hypnogogic imagery?

although its unusuall if you see them 'right now'. i also see that kind of stuff but for me its clearly hypnogogic imagery. first it strats with just swirling colers then there are images that seem completely senseless but vanish imediatly. then the time each image stays becomes longer and if i allow my mind to focus on them a dream starts...

of course it can be that for you they really have a meaning.

Wow, cool.
I am curious, how do these visions differ from normal mental imagery? Is it their clarity, or do they also have a different "feel" to them?

I also have these visions sometimes, they are like some vage visualisation only not by your conscious doing, It usually happens to me when i lie down and try to stop my thinking, and when i manage doing that i usually slip in some sort of enhanced attention mode when i feel really focused on just being, and my hands go numb and i can't feel the tiredness of my body, i can still feel my body but when i slip into this mode problably F10 all the fatique in my body dissappear and after it i feel much more energetic, like recharged. Some say you then get filled again with tachyon energy.
And back to the visions, (lost track there sorry).
Most of the time certain texts seem to appear out of nowhere and i read them , some text seem other language, and yesterday i saw and heard a woman singing a bedtime song for her child.
And one time i wanted to have sleep paralysis and then i heard a baby crying and then saw a man knieled on the floor also crying. I related that crying to the fact that i was trying to shut down my nerve-system so i could have an obe, perhaps some part of my psyche related that action of dying, perhaps thats how dying feels like, the nerve-system shutting down, so your consciousness moves to the astral body.
Butt you know what, i am gonna let that pathetic crying baby an crying man cry a lot more. mwhaaaaaaaa, I SHALL MAKE THEM SUFFER MMWWWHAAAA AAA AAA A.

Runlola -

I don't know what they could mean. But then, they're your symbols. If they lasted a while, they must go beyond the usual hypnogogic imagery. Perhaps you need to do some free associating...

Make a huge list. Maybe when you find the right answer, it will resonate?

Good luck - sounds fascinating

Hi Lola,

I've no doubt, as I believe you've no doubt, these are messages from Spirit. What's more important than pondering their meaning at this moment is the fact that you've paid attention to them, and you've written them down.

I get a sense that what you've described is not so much a message in itself, but rather a series of markers - signposts. I think you're going to encounter these symbols again, and when you do, pay close attention to what's going on around you at the time.

Blessings,
James.

Since you're asking for input (I have none) for meaning of visions, I'd like to be selfish and add mine.    I have one recurring vision that I get, usually before the rest of them come, or as OBE precursors.  It is of  a drop landing on a pool of water, ripples forming. I see it sort of from the top at an angle, close up, then it's gone.  I started to notice this when I used to meditate, and then became more aware of it when I started OB practice, and now I'm used to seeing it- about once a week.   I just wonder if it has a meaning attached to it.

[CFTraveler]

Thank you, runlola! For some reason I've never attached any meaning to it, other that it looks pretty.

i saw a vision of what started out as a dog..turned into a tiger..then a wolf.. and kept seeing it from different angles

I have recurring visions of landscapes seen through windows. It's never the same landscape or the same window, but the theme is always the same.
