That is the last thing I would do- ignore them and focus on your breathing, I mean.

You are trying to WILD. You have probably started feeling sleep paralysis. You begin seeing hallucinations. You are two steps from your dream! Embrace the images and let them come. Don't try and hold onto OR dismiss them. It is just HH. Images will come and go.

But if you A. try and put energy into ignoring them or B. try and jump into the scene and stabalize the HH images you will probably screw up your WILD.

Instead, enjoy the funny pictures/colors and wait for that tugging feeling to 'pull you in' to your lucid dream. Once you are actually WILDing you can worry about getting too excited and stabalization.
