I've experienced some kind of synergistic effect, The tactile sensations enables me to visualize as I get an overall "feel" of the scene.

But being a crappy visualizer and all I was thinking that maybe the tactile sensations would do the jobs just as good as any visualization would. I've had several non lucid dreams in which I don't have any sense of sight, everything is black, but my tactile sensations are at an all time high.

The real question I guess is: can you build a dream scene out of tactile sensations only? Would this be enough?

Adraw I understand if you don't have the answers to my questions, maybe we just have to find out for ourself

For more information, please read this topic if you havent already done that:

Shady gave hers own tricks and arby made a good point. Even if it is hard to understand, it shows, how visualization really works.
Let me take a quick summary from what i understood from this topic:

• It seems that stimulating one sense is not enough to create lifelike visualization
• It seems that movement adds life to visualizations

yeah there is much more information hidden within, but maybe this might open new horizonts also for you.

You sayd, you are creappy visualizer. Tell me about it. But as i am progressing further, it doesnt seem that the visualization process itself is crappy. But our ability to concentrate is not as good developed and needs practice.

I oft find myself within visualization, and deep within falling asleep, where i am conscious but am not able to change any aspect of what i percieve. I try to change the scene... it doesnt work. Sometimes i try to speak... it doesnt work. Then i blend with the dream and fall asleep. And the same goes with visualization itself. It seems my own wilpower is not clear enough to force the brain doing what i wish.

may i ask you a question? What happens, when you are starting to blend with the "scene" which you create. Arent you starting to lose yourself?

Thanx for responses.
