Trance assault

[Leviiathan]

I find that the same thing happens to me. I can enter a light trance state, but go no further. I find that acting passively to induce a falling state works best for me rather than a direct and aggressive manor (as Robert Bruce suggests, to tackle these things, you have to be assertive). I find that if I act passively, it can be slow, but at least it allows my body to drift into a light slumber, and it calms my mind somewhat.

I've had times where my mind's been assaulted by "visions". More or less, I can describe this as where scenarios will start playing through my head, almost as if I were watching a vivid memory. Perhaps this is hypnogogic imagery at hand... but at a light trance state?

As you transcend into trance, this is the order of things you will experience:

1) Your muscles will relax
2) Your muscles will start to fall asleep (basically, as you go through meditation, they become heavier, and you can feel them less and less.
3) Your mind/head will start to feel numb and your consciounsess wil most likely, at this point, have become a single point focused narrowly on a limited space.
4) At this point, if you're like me, attempts to induce a falling sensation will fail and you'll hit an equilibrium point where you just linger. Here, it's hard to induce further falling sensations either due to loss of direction / vertigo, or because it has somehow lost its effect / mind is relaxed. At this point, if this happens, you may attempt to seek other alternatives to take yourself further. 10 minutes later, after achieving nothing, I usually just give up.

5) If you manage to get around #4, you'll begin to feel boxed in. It's a very unique feeling that is un-mistakable. When you feel it, you'll feel it. You start to feel more of an omni-present darkness around you (three dimensional void), and within it, a limited sense of being confined to a single radius. Robert Bruce describes this sensation as someone having taken a box and put it over your head (hence, you're boxed in).

6) Continue further, and you'll start to feel a sense of free fall dawning upon you. It's also an unmistakable feeling that, to newcomers, will excite them and cause them to fook up things completely. I've gotten this far only once or twice, and haven't been able to get back here since.

Hi everyone,
I did my first serious trance meditation today, the results are peace; relaxation and an understated 'up feeling' if that makes sense to you.  I did my relaxation exercises (though I found muscles would tense up now and again, ESPECIALLY the ones around my eyes and my calves, or lower leg muscles)
I induced a very very fast falling sensation for a bit then slowed it down to a free falling speed and soon I was in a reasonable trance, though I don't have much experience with trance so I am not an authority on this yet.  I then just soaked up the experience.  I had little trouble keeping my mind from talking to me, as I meditated - however I was assaulted by visions.  Really indistint crazy things that I can't even remember, but definitely real mind's eye visions.  Does this denote some kind of clairvoyant ability?  For a change, it wasn't the dialogue that really bothered me, 'cause I'm getting ontop of that - it was the visions!
Any ideas, thoughts, or comments are very welcome.
Thanks
