Wow, great technique!!  Thanks for all your work CosmicIron!  I tried it last night for the first time and man, u weren't kidding about the FA's!  My first attempt was looking at the blackness, which turned into a loud ringing noise, which then turned into a semi-lucid dream and ended.  I blew it.  The next awakening, same thing, stared at the blackness, saw a few stars start dancing around which then turned into me looking into a window and someone was painting cool pictures.  I thought to myself "this is really weird, I must be phasing, but I feel too awake so it can't be" - I almost did a reality check, like u said to do, but I again dismissed it because I felt like it was probably nothing. - IDIOT!  

I look forward to working on this technique and perfecting it!  Thanks!
