Progress in the “dream world”.

I have only recently started trying to visualize and begun practicing with the little ability I have...

I don’t see any colors or shapes; it mostly seems to be some sort of spatial and semantic visualization that I’m capable of. Though “visual thinking” seems like it’s becoming easier, and automatic, with more of a “popcorn” effect where one thought spawns another and another.

However I’ve had 3 experiences within the last month or so where I’ll have a flash of very clear imagery while dreaming or awakening from sleep. It’s as if my eyes were wide open and I was literally looking at something in real life. 🤯 Outside of this my dreams were very similar to my visualization while awake (no defined images, colors, etc.)

Last night while dreaming (the most recent of the 3 experiences) I saw a whole town with several buildings made of brick. I could even see the texture and color of the individual bricks. I also was able to control a part of the image (a gray statue) and shape it how I wanted.

I’ve never experienced anything like this and it was absolutely amazing.

I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this progression before improving regular visualization (while awake).
