Title: hypnagogic images distract me
Post by: toba122 on February 05, 2011, 09:03:17
Okay, so I've been practicing at APing but whenever I get sleepy enough, the hypnagogic images show up and what happens is that I end up thinking about them too much, lose my focus, and I slip into the nonsensical mentality I have when I'm asleep. What can I do to keep focused enough to not get distracted?

There's no trick to it... just practice ignoring them.  :)

Oh and welcome to the Astral Pulse, Toba. ;)

Focus on them instead of ignoring them.  See what happens.  You can use them to get you there.
