   It sounds fun.  How did you manage to sustain hypnogogic imagery with open   
   eyes?  Mine vanishes when I even examine it too closely, let alone   
   approach waking consciousness.   
      
   I read a Colin Wilson novel, in which the protagonist learns to do   
   something similar courtesy of a fragment of "Neumann Alloy" in his   
   forebrain.   
      
   I spent quite a while trying it after that, to no avail :-(

   When I was about 6 y/o, I disassembled the family gramophone to find the   
   little singers inside.   
      
   I was not popular.
