Hpynagogic Imagery Technique

While reading Stephen LaBerge's Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming, I came across another technique called hypnagogic imagery. One of the keys to this technique is to relax completely. Once relaxed, one must observe the visual images that slowly appear in front of ones eyes while they're closed. The key is to observe the images as delicately as possible and allowing them pass by without any attachment. One must take the stance of a detached observer as much as possible. Slowly these images will start to make scenes and become more complex over time. Once the scenes are playing, one must allow himself/herself to be drawn into the dream world. This is probably the hardest part to master because it is easy to get very involved and pay too little attention.

I think I'll try this technique as it seems to require minimal effort (not that I'm lazy or anything, but it's AP time... I've got to study).
