Thread: Q&A Episode 2: Natural WBTBs, Hypnagogic Imagery, and Hostile Dreamworlds

Excellent work guys! I really love your podcasts!!
Would love to hear a podcast about the "other" LD techniques, it would be really insightful coming from you: SSILD, FILD, VILD, HILD, PBTB... Ooops, sorry, we had Pee Back To Bed thoroughly covered already

Thanks so much, dreambh! I'm really glad that you liked the material!

And I love your idea of a podcast on the "other" techniques. Ophelia, weren't you and RareCola considering doing one like this back in the day? I think it'd make for a great show. SSILD could be particularly interesting as I think both RareCola and I got some of our early lucids with it but have differing opinions as to SSILD's value as a technique. I think it could make for a great discussion.

We'll definitely have to put something out about this, whether it's in the Q&A format or the traditional format. Thanks for the suggestion!

Wow! I'm really intrigued about SSILD. That would be super interesting!!!

Yes, it was on the menu. It would make a very good and informative podcast, I agree.

This Q&A was neat. The part where you talked about hypnogogic imagery was pretty cool. I used to have something similar to that when I was a kid, probably up until about 10 years old. They were really amazing. I'd close my eyes and see a fairly normal depiction of a given scene, and then all of a sudden, an object(s) in the scene would start to glow a very brilliant bluish-white. From there, one of two things would happen. The scene would either change and the process would repeat, or the object that was glowing would morph into another object. Objects in the scene ranged from abstract like cirlces or squares or seven segment display numbers to actual everday objects like an oscillating fan, or a light bulb. After watching them for awhile, I'd lose awareness and find myself in a DILD.
