“…These include tunnels, funnels, spirals, cones, star fields, kaleidoscopic fields, geometric patterns, lattices, cobwebs, spectral arrays…(Moss, 1985a, p.16)The distinction that I make between dream imagery and elementary imagery is the same as that made between complex and elementary visual hallucinatory forms (Siegel & Jarvik, 1975; Slade & Bentall, 1988). This distinction is discussed further in Gillespie (2000).- The dreamer may experience true perception or true body experience, for example, by hearing a bell ring or by feeling a heavy weight lying on the feet.The experiences, related here, of darkness, light, a blank visual field, and of elementary imagery all stem from accounts of lucid dreaming. These examples reinforce the Tibetan teaching that dreamless sleep imagery grows out of procedures during lucid dreaming.
