Now im wondering if its real or possible, or even if anyone here tried this before
. Needless to say, itll be pretty cool to enter this "State" by will.
Reading the description, I've done that a lot. I can produce INCREDIBLY realistic images and sounds, and while I don't always have total control over what I'm shown or what I hear, I can usually manipulate it succesfully. When it happens, I know my eyes are closed, which gives the feeling that my eyelids are transparent, because the images are so vivid that it feels 100% authentic.
Lately I've been trying to conjur visions of complex texted objects, like pages of a book or a computer screen. I can make words, many at a time, and make them perfectly readable, but they rarely make sense, and a few words will repeat themselves numerous times throughout the image.
They mentioned the feeling of "falling through the bed", but I've never had that. Unless they're refering to the lurching feeling when a kind of faux depth-perception kicks in and you seem to fall towards or fly away from whatever you're hallucinating. That's a pretty crazy feeling, and it does feel like falling, but not
through the bed.
It's hard to experience this for any good length of time, because full REM tends to kick in shortly after.
