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
I have become lucid from only tactile sensations. On more than one occasion I have literally walked my way from darkness into a vivid dream scene.

In fact some of my early WILDS were without any kind of visuals. Back then I was doing a lot of tactile imagination exercises and not a lot of visualizations as I wasn't as good at visualizations. (One person earlier in this thread mentioned using memories as a means to aid in tactile imagination exercises. I for one believe this is a useful technique as so much of what a person imaginations is really just a construction based off of past events in life. So working out a routine of touching things right before attempting to become lucid and then recalling those sensations and imagining them again while they are still fresh in one's mind is a useful exercise. I believe this helps to build a more stabilized dream body.)

A problem with sightless lucid dreams though is that they leave a person doubting whether it was a real lucid dream, especially for a person who isn't as experienced enough.
