I found that the reverse blinking technique works well for me, if not only to help me fall asleep. While I'm "blinking" though, I will suddenly become aware that I'm talking to someone in my head, or singing a song (more frequent). For example last night, I found myself imagining that someone had asked me if I was doing something, in my head, and I nodded my own head in response. I have never attempted a WILD before, but this seems to me like something that would happen if I should try. I don't really know how to explain it anymore than that. I'll get very brief images and excerpts from a conversation or some other sounds. How can I use this to gain lucidity?

Most often members overlook that we can have audible sensations (HS) hypnagogic sounds as well as HI. In fact I think it is probably common.
Check out the HIT Technique. This sounds like you are right at that edge to me.
Good luck! :)
HH
Hypnagogic or Hypnopompic Hallucinations
This is closely related to Sleep Paralysis. When a person wakes up with Sleep Paralysis, it is sometimes accompanied by Hypnopompic Hallucinations. An example hallucination would be sensing an "presence" in the room. It is not an uncommon thing, with 30 to 40 percent of all people experiencing it in their lives.
HI & HS
Hypnagogic imagery and hypnagogic sounds.
These are images or sounds that come as impulses during the onset of a hallucinogenic state. Usually before or after sleep. Sometimes through meditation. These images & sounds are random and can sometimes lead to HIT. The Hypnagogic Imagery Technique. *Look below.

Thanks for this reply, I've heard of the HIT but never looked into it. Ironically, after reviewing all of the techniques for almost a year now it seems like the most likely to be my go-to technique. I'll begin trying this immediately because I've already completed the first two steps unintentionally almost every night. Thanks again for the very informative reply.
