Image Streaming - A Technique for Better Visualization and Creativity 

Here's an advanced version of Image Streaming that I've created called "Glimpsing". Hope you like it. So this is the concept: you can take any picture or image of your desired goal or aim from your phone or computer first. Then, you speak out loud every single feature you see while looking at the picture( or you could write them down as a list) if you want. Finally, you take your phone away, closing your eyes or leaving them open, and say those SAME EXACT features that you saw in that picture until your mind recalls those features again. So basically, it's image Streaming and Priming blended together. Hope this helps with those aphantasia issues!!💯👌

Even a 15 second lucid dream is the most exhilarating feeling in your life. I highly recommend practicing more.

The place I used visualization the most was in two places... the first was in the military and specifically SWAT and weapons training. Where visualization could be used in the absence of ammunition. To close your eyes and see every movement and assess yourself and feel of something was off in your movements like drawing your gun or finer details like pulling the trigger without reacting to the ensuing recoil. 10 years plus out of the military I still practice that visualisation just in case i need that skill again. Second place it was VITAL wad on my paramedic training. You had a lot of students with limited time and equipment. So often visualisation was the only practice you could get in... feel and see what you are doing. See yourself making mistakes in your mind as you do know on that subconscious level that you stuffed up and how to correct them... Thanks

A good method to increase yours vizualization skill is to solve math, physics and logical problems without using a piece of paper

if you wrote a book all about maximizing abilities, i'd totally read it. so much content on this channel it'd be cool to have the best of the best information all in a single book... also on the lucid dreaming thing, it might help you if you look at your hands throughout the day and ask "am i dreaming?" because your hands will likely be with you in your dreams so it can serve as a reality check kind of thing to help you become aware your dream state... also keep up all the good work, i'd seriously like to see you make that book btw, youre one of the few people ive seen where youre knowledge and physical success makes me go "damn", not really jealousy cause i admire your success and respect that you share what you know for free, but damn i need to step up my game... ps if you havent read them yet youd probably really like The Art of Expressing the Human Body by Bruce Lee, The Miracle of Breath by Andy Caponigro, and Can We Live 150 Years? by Mikhail Tombak, especially the breath thing is really interesting, if you breathe slower than 15 sec inhale, 15 sec exhale you almost immediately enter into a higher state of consciousness, i learned that from some other yoga book and it totally works, some people can breathe one breath an hour and theyre basically in a psychedelic trip all the time, if you ever investigate the connection between oxygen and other chemical production like tryptaphan, seratonin, testosterone, dimethyltryptamine, etc i would reallyyy like to see what you discover

I began practicing lucid dreaming as a child, years before I encountered the term. I'll go back even further. I accidentally discovered self hypnosis at around age 5. I was staring at myself in the bathroom mirror and found my mind disassociated from my body. I had a sense of leaving my physical form. It was unsettling, but not frightening. I tried it a few more times after that, but decided it wasn't an experience I enjoyed. As to lucid dreaming, I've always had vivid dreams, even nightmares. I found it necessary to take control of the direction of these dreams and steer myself toward wakefulness. On one occasion in particular, I remember seeing a factory brightly lit in the middle of a vast, dark field. Decades later, while driving along Highway 27 south of Lake Okeechobee in the middle of the night, I saw the same factory again. It was a sugar cane processing plant, which operates 24 hours a day. Our minds are ours to control, to be sure. But they also travel both forward and backward in time. Rather than fighting this, it's sometimes worthwhile to follow it, and see where it goes.:)

Im into dbz , lifting, videogames, yesterday i looked into lucid dreaming, today he talks about it, this guy spies on me

one way to do image streaming is to make the multisensory verbal description in mind, not out loud. but this has an advantage/disadvantage, it can put you to sleep (it's good for insomniacs). the advantage/disadvantage depends on the purpose you want. But with proper training you get to control it. and in time it becomes better than lucid dreaming because you can use it whenever you want, not just when you sleep.

As someone who is trying to be a novelist, I will certainly give this a try; I get the feeling it'll help a lot.

I had lucid dreams when I kept a dream journal and wrote down my dreams right after I had them, after a week or so of that as dreams got more vivid I had a full on lucid dream where I could fly and stuff

8:34 is extremely important and i bet a lot of people closed the video before getting there rofl

A fun practice is to read fiction in „slow motion.“ Do picture research on the setting, imagine the look of the characters and try to visualize the hole prosa.

My only problem with image streaming is finding somewhere to do it without everybody thinking I'm nuts, so I need a private place. Also I tried to explain image streaming to a couple of dumbo's. As soon as I mentioned visualization this guy interjected "that's manifestation I know all about it" I didn't bother explaining any further. No image streaming is not manifestation - if bad or ugly stuff comes into your minds eye so be it, that's what you describe. For image streaming to work you do not will what to see. You let your subconscious show you stuff. Most of the things you see will be weird anyway. Surreal subconscious things. If that changes the more you do it I dont know. Image streaming strengthens the network connections between conscious & unconscious parts of the brain this can also be done with mind mirror EEG training. A completely different technique. Manifestation is based upon positive visualization. But if you dont image stream first you are unlikely to be able to visualize well in the first place. Again a different thing altogether from image streaming. Autogenic training takes much longer & has parallels with image streaming in the advanced meditative stages. Compared to Image Streaming, Mind Mirror neurofeedback & Advanced Autogenics - Manifestation is not a real cognitive technique at all but a fad On Lucid dreams I have them & find they are linked to my meditation sessions during the day. Maybe being conscious in Theta does it? When in the dream something weird will happen, you will think hey wait a minute that simply cant happen. Ha haa this must be a dream. Then that's it you become lucid - fully aware its a dream & can do what ever you want. If however you accept the illogical thing. Think hey that's weird it cant be possibly happening. But there it is what do you know & go about your dream business - the lucidity wont come. So an epiphany is required. Epiphany is a great thing ;-)

Interestingly, the riddle about the monk can be solved easily by a theorem in calculus known as the "Intermediate Value Theorem"

I stumbled on Image Streaming as a means of possibly treating aphantasia. Aphantasia is the inability to visualize things in your minds eye. For me when I close my eyes and try to imagine something, I don't see anything. No images. Imagine my shock to learn a month ago that people actually do see things and there's a name for this condition. I'm excited to practice this and see if it works to give me actual mental images. Great content and I appreciate your input!

I’m a bit late but apparently the was a study done at Johns Hopkins showing that writing and speaking can ‘exist’ in different parts of the brain, or rather that they are quasi-independent. So doing this technique while writing is a great supplement after all! Also, hope you eventually learned to lucid dream @The Bioneer! Writing out visuals and dreams also helps get Lucid so I hope this worked out for you.

visualization can be used in every part of our life and to improve it . It so under used thats why I try to teach it. SO great job bringing more awareness to people about the power of visualization.

Your videos are awesome. It's great relating to someone who believes and actively practices self-improvement

Verbalization abilities are through the roof for a little while after practicing this.

Your channel is really informed and I appreciate it a lot. I have never had someone to look up to but so far on your channel I've grown to admire how hard you work and how much you manage to care for yourself. I hope I can reflect that someday in my own life.

This legit works - Win Wenger was a very smart man to create thus simple yet effective tool - RIP Win ❤️. If you are struggling to begin with, intend to think of your favourite kids cartoon. Cartoons are less detailed, easier to imagine and change about more. If you spend 10 minutes every day as consistently as you can for 90 days, you'll make progress.

I have listened to this video twice already, but today i got gems i missed on my first two attempts. Keep inspiring the masses baba

Lucid dreaming is so fascinating. One time I was dreaming of riding my bike and I looked at my hands. They were oldly far away and small. I started to become lucid. Then it switched I was in an Arab area again on my bike. I looked at my hands and they were small and fuzzy. What was strange was it sort of felt like I was struggling to become lucid. As if I felt my mind working hard to become lucid. My reasoning is because I just felt it in my dream. I started to get it a little but my dream was too strong and I wasn't fully aware. I was literally pulled from my lucidity into dreaming normal. Which was very strange but I think quite interesting. If anyone reads this do you have any weird experience like this?

What I find is that our subconscious is always visualizing and that we just have to tune into it by turning off the filter that the logical side of our brain puts on. I think that’s why visualization is so powerful and real in dreams because there’s no logical thinking to them.

I can easily enter *The Space* after few minutes of closed eyes , where everything is super super vivid and some other creative force takes over which co-creates whatever I want to create . I can't say really if it's a lucid dream , cuz I can enter it anytime of the day . No rem cycle needed I guess.

To improve your visualization greatly. Do Math but instead of numbers use some sort of object. For example: 2x3 would be a normal problem without images. But if you would do:🥈🥈x🥉🥉🥉it would be 6 bronze medals. Don’t forget to say it in your mind or repeat it out loud. Either way works.

i used to practice visualization all the time as a kid with my dbz action figures lol, but as ive gotten older it is much more difficult to visualize quite like i did as a kid

Amazing video, this technique is what I use every day all day to get better at anything It allows me to get better at anything without even having practice, it's amazing

Have you experimented with the Tibetan techniques for lucid dreaming? They worked for me. The main practice was just a number of times a day, stop, look around, and say ‘is anything out of sorts here?’ And when you keep practicing you will wind up doing it in a dream, and you will realize you were in a dream. I woke up in a museum dream, and I picked up this vase and studied it, and my mind was completely blown, the detail was astounding. Fun stuff. Thanks for the vid!

Love the videos. I've had a out of body experience for me I didn't even realize but when I did I was scared by it. And woke up with overwhelming feelings. The dream was short in it I was in the middle of what seemed like street lights they went into the distance something was compelling Me to follow them but I wonder what could be so powerful to move me without reason. I then look down and realized I have no hands or body I am floating with nothing supporting me I can't feel gravity or the ground I look behind for the first time and see a small hole through which I could see myself sleeping at this moment I felt connected then woke up. I've had sleep paralysis 6 times and for me it was just as scary

In my minds eye I saw the monk not only in the exact same place at the same time of day, but in the same physical position, facing the same way. He had stopped to take a leak at the same boulder.

Isnt it a coincidence that one second before the vid was uploaded i wished that you would upload a vid.

Glad I woke up to this video, I may not be very physically fit, but I've always visuallized stuff to a sometimes scary level of detail. I don't live near a spec of grass but last night, I just dreamt myself in a grassy, hilly landscape, doing tumbling and tricking in a very lucid manner, but I've never done a flip in my life. In a way, my visualing (or mental manifesting) led me to your channel in the past, seeing myself stronger than I am now in my mind, with a newfound desire for power in all categories. Thank You. Be Safe.

I cant say i have done this before, but i aways seemed to recall pictures of where things are in a room or my work van. I can just look to my mind and give others a verbal map to the item they are looking for. Excited to try this.

Lucid dreaming is incredible! I hope since posting this you've experienced this state.

Wow! Went to a place with a lake and fields with horses today and just reconstructed my walk back... ok, that's probably not exactly what I'm supposed to do... but it was fascinating nonetheless. I said "We're just atoms...amorphous configurations of atoms everywhere..." It made me philosophical and less concerned about what goes on beyond what I can see... ie imagining bad outcomes to present situations which are way beyond my control. Enjoyed my first go a lot. Thanks Bioneer.

I made Gohan and Goku fight in my visualization when I went to sleep lol. I didn’t know people struggled with visualization, I am one of these people that sees images vividly in their mind.

Great video! I just realized that I do that every single night while laying in bed without even thinking about it without talking however. I will definitely try I am very interested in your findings in vivid dreaming as well, I would love to be able to vivid dream. Keep up the great work and the quality of your videos are really good. Thank you very much!

I have a theory with intelligence and problem-solving. I see the big components as being focus (to stay focused on what you're doing and tune out the irrelevant), working memory (to hold more pieces of information in your mind), visualization (to be able to manipulate those pieces of information better and faster), and finally, fitness and nutrition (to be able to more efficiently "power" the brain). Combine all those and you have a great general-purpose brain-training program. Obviously this is a bit oversimplified, and one should add in more specific things that one wants to brain-train, but I think those are the core things to train. Gaining knowledge and improving memory helps too, because then you can recall more pieces of information to manipulate in your problem-solving. And IMO, all of these would help learning too, for the same reasons. Focus -> Meditation. Working Memory training -> Dual N Back or similar. Visualization -> Image Streaming. Fitness and nutrition -> Regular exercise and good nutrition. Gaining knowledge and memory training.

Love your videos

MUCH-Success to You, Friend! And, Many-THANKS, for 'touching', on sooo-very-much, that I was and, never really lost interest-in! There IS, a 'Spiritual-Aspect' to ALL of this, 'hidden', within the Physical also! I have devoted Much thought to it, and will 'articulate' as much, at a later-date. THANKS-again, for broaching these subjects!

Not sure if you still read comments from a video you made so long ago. But a very powerful exercise I perform regularly is to imagine objects in my head and rotate them 3 dimensionally inspecting them from unusual angles. A more advanced form of this is to construct objects out of multiple components fitting them together in unusual ways and visualizing there boundaries and volume in the void of the mind.

Yes, this visualization will create the world of manifest phenomena. Ancient Yogis experienced this and Dr. Joe Dispenza's research is proving it. The mind is a kind of wish fulfilling machine where we co create with the universe to make our reality. The key is to really feel what it is like in the body to already have the thing we are looking to create. Abundance, Joy, athleticism, healing, etc. Humans are magnetic so wherever our vibration is at this is what we will call to us. If we want peace and love then our heart/ mind needs to be in that state. Don't wait for it to come, be it and it will come to you.

Wow. This is becoming my favorite channel. You got everything! I've seen a bunch of your other videos but this time I came here for a technique to improve my lucid dreaming and you actually confirmed this could help. Also fitness, improving all kinds of abilites and DragonBall Z! Great job man, keep it up and thanks! Any progress with your lucid dreams btw? I've also heard a theory that Einsten actually did use LDing itself to come up with the relativity theory.

For lucid dreaming - acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as Huperzine A & Galantamine are very helpful (they also have positive nootropic qualities).

I’m wondering if this can help me “cure” my aphantasia. Honestly it makes me feel quite down that I can’t use my imagination like others :(

aphantasia babyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Thank you! I am going to try this as I have just started meditation and needed a bit of guidance

In the modern world we are bombarded by visual images. Consequently, there is usually a stream of junk floating across the surface of the mind and this junk often intrudes. I find it helps to switch to other senses, and especially olfaction. So I try to imagine scents and smells rather than visual forms. These are deeper memories connected to more ancient levels of the mind, less polluted by our TV and screen-saturated environment. Then you can move to sounds, tactile senses etc. It helps.

Neural Language Programming (NLP) has a lot to say about visualization. While learning about NLP I learned of a research project wherein 3 groups of people were used: group 1) consisted people who shot baskets, group 2) where people who visualized shooting baskets and of course group 3) was a control group and were told nothing about the project. After a period of time they were brought together and told to shoot baskets. As is predictable group 1) did very well while group 3) did relatively terrible. The interesting part was, group 2) though not doing as well as group 1) they performed tremendously better then group 3). In the end it was discerned that the difference between group 1) and group 2) was only that group 2) had not made the mind body connection. That is ... if I remember correctly.

have you done an episode on the mind palace?

Thank you so much for this video.

I love this guy I'm trying to be functional training he's got it all

The einstein factor says that we must describe what we see in our minds aloud. Aloud as not in a whisper (as defined by an online dictionary). However, does it really matter whether you're whispering or not as long as you can hear yourself describing the image stream in your head? What do you guys think?

Hello! I use a Dictaphone for most things I want to remember. I hold it like a mobile when I'm recording so that I don't look like a knob. I could actually use my mobile but I prefer a separate device. I even have one of those ear bud microphone things to plug into it, but when I use that outside then I really do look like a knob!

I’m looking forward to trying this. Thanks!

Very knowledgeable on this, great vid

Spot on 10000% I agree amazing video thanks I truly love your Chanel

Very good..visualisation is great 4 achieving greater..training mind body..writing down positive affirmation is a great.way..of visualisation.frm the process of writing it down.reading it.visualisation..ths a great topic video.very good.evn mentle health phobias..low moods anxietys.

For lucid dreaming, if you wake up early in the morning and still remember your dream, simply don’t wake up your inner dialog, don’t try to remember anything verbally, and don’t analyze anything. Simply pick a picture from your dream and focus on its details without describing them. I’m about 5 minutes you will sink back into the dream with some control over it

Man I love your channel I've learned a tremendous ammount in such a short period of time.

Very thought provoking... love it. So going to try this.

I think the fog in my dreams would finally lift if I improved my visualisation

Your channel is one of the greatest resources on RU-vid thank you very much for your work!

By the way I believe you are supposed to describe in the PRESENT tense when you’re Image Streaming from what I remember from the book the Einstein Factor By Wenger.I As for Lucid Dreaming, it helped me a lot......I recommend Dr Stephen Le Berge’s book on Lucid Dreaming and the LUCIDITY free App to give great instructions and let’s you write a dream journal or record it on the app too...The app is reviewed on You Tube. The dream journal is essential for Lucid Dreaming as is learning how to do Reality Checks..all of this you can find out about on the App or Dr Stephen Le Berge’s book. I highly recommend endeavouring to Lucís Dream...it’s the most extraordinary, exciting experience you can have just with your mind completely safe and drug free...absolutely amazing! I love your channel by the way...fascinating stuff for mind and body...thank you.

I recommend D&D or other role play games. They run on imagination and visualization skill.

I have imeges in my head let's say a dog with spots but I can't say how many even If it's like two or a medow with flowers I can say I see yellow flowers and pink flowers but I can't focus on one flower and tell you the color is that normal???

Great video. My interest in image streaming led me to your amazing channel. So many interesting things/skills i can learn here and get to know. Wow. Thank You

The best way to tap in to Lucid dreaming I found is to take dmt ever since I tried it I have been able I tap in to my dream world if you ever come visit I would be happy to assist in this proses :)

A resident mathematician here to say the monk example is just the intermediate value theorem from calculus :)

I do what I suppose would be reverse image streaming ... I listen to audio books and youtube channels like comicstorian and comics explained while making a mental movie in my mind ... These mental movies tend to be much much better than the film adaptions of the books btw

This is a really good video. Glad I found it.

Oh. P.S Love the thought process you follow in your videos. Respect

Always good, always interesting. Thanks.

You have such a great channel mate! Thanks for sharing this stuff

This is the type of higher evolutionary content that is desired

has this channel covered Dual N-Back exercises?

image streaming is a pretty old concept. Not sure why it hasnt spread much. Its said to be the only proven way to change iq score. I think it was atleast in the 80s when i first heard of it and it was in a book looking back at the process from years before. Interesting book called "the einstein factor" short read with a bunch of techniques that people that were known geniuses used in their thinking practices.. Mamilian diving reflex, image streamingg. putting on heads etc.

Thanks for the videos! Try Visualizing enhancing Music

I had abuse in my young years that had left me with a lot of blocked out memories and memory loss so I can't just pull up memories. I did one time and can't seem to again. I am just now at 46 exploring my body and life in general i had no time or space alone as a youth so not having almost no memory and having no imagination because us girls to many of us were raised with no value more than to set stay and shut up. In that now I am doing all I can to build something others just have handed to them at birth and take for granted. It hurts. I just want to be able to picture the 10 step staircase meditations ask me to see at there start but I can't so I have to make my way through somehow. I have no bank to use when I'm alone like a normal person. It all hurts. Everything comes back to upbringing which I cant fix so it feels very pointless to even try. I dislike it in every way. Most of the people that made this life for me are dead or ying now and got away with it all. It just seems messed up is all. I want to take things for granted and not care like others. I'm working on caring less about others and more about me. I cared for others because I couldnt fix my huge issues i was left with so I fixed others issues because they were smaller. Yes it made me useful to others yet it drained me for so many decades. Now I'm startig to not waist time with ideas of things like love and replaced it with care because love is confused it is defined as a strong feeling of affection and affection means love so whats the point to that dog chasing its tail? none I say.

About lucid dreams i had lucid dream last week so i start to practice meditation and dream recaling and i had great success i can't describe the feeling when you are in lucid dream it like you are in heaven or something

Very important question, does the technique of sitting down closing your eyes and trying to recall you entire day through images with as much detail as possible count as visualisation training ?

So when I asked some tips I came up with an idea. Like shift work I bodyweight training you could do something very similar to practice visualisation. Let x be an object or a place that you can imagine vividly at least Then y will be a variable, X is a constant . So use the equation x+y to keep on imagining new things.(by the way the plus does not mean you combine the two objects it means how will the image look when you keep the object on top of one another etc etc.) ...

Video on Astral Projection? Thanks

Hows if I diagnosed have aphantasia or mind eye blind? I cant visualize in my mind

Thank you Sensei 🙏 👍👍👍

Another great video! Thanks!

The key to the monk problem is recognizing the important of the 24 hour period of travel up and down the hill. If it took 23 hours the riddle would not work. Try to make it fail and the 24 hours get in the way.

Visualizing colors helps

I have a problem with image streaming can't stop myself from controllibg the vision

Nice video Should I practise Image Streaming with eyes open?

What about things like hyperphantasia and hyperauralia (auditory hyperphantasia)? You may have trouble finding what those are if you’re not familiar already since these terms have only recently been made. I have hyperauralia so I can listen to any sound or music in my head at any time and it sounds the same as actually listening to them. Do you think it would ever be possible to train to anywhere near these levels of imagination?

Often used random Images my mind creates to help me fall asleep

I just found a new lucid dream techniqe DOE Dont open eyes If you start to wake up during 3-5am dont open your eyes. After a while you drift off to dream state

ironically, in school, thinking in pictures is considered bad, and your seen as a poor student. then later on, people want it for themselves. i do this all naturally, and i don't see the point of closing your eyes, they eye is in your mind, you can do both things at once. watch this and think about other things in picture form.

I don’t know how to do this. I try to do this but can’t even see a red dot in my mind when I try to visualize. I just see black.

Lucid dreaming becomes easier once you get some repetitions in. From my experience: first part is becoming aware, second part is maintaining that awareness without waking up. For the repetitions, I used to use an alarm that would quietly go off every 20-30 minutes after 5-6 hours sleep. It would repeatedly lightly wake me up over 2-3 hours during which was my practice window. Only once I made a real solid commitment to myself that I'd do a reality check EVERY time anything really strange or unlikely happened no matter what, did I start to make use of the opportunities. I think of the commitment I made like a net that catches strange stuff in my dreams, which then triggers the beginning of a script I've gone over a bunch of times in my head, which starts with a reality check that switches my awareness on. From there it's a matter of stopping your harder then normal to regulate emotions from drowning your awareness and ~executive functioning which can happen really easily until you get your faculties working properly (which is the rest of my 'script'). You've probably read about it, but you can also enter lucid dreams without losing consciousness/going to sleep, but it's a little tricky. In saying that, I think I managed 2/7-8 times I tried it. Really strange and cool experience. You have to be comfortable with going into sleep paralysis though, which.. well.. yeah.. it's less uncomfortable then waking up with it at least. Did you ever manage to have a lucid dream?

Mystery is when you Visualize real world with open eyes and thinking about possibilities and then closing your eyes and looking at world inside you. How years of conditioning has affected you and mind excersice is "Visualize and make it real", Visualize and make it real and going into deeper realms of human psyche by discarding evil and going into zone of Invention, arts and mysterious sciences which is totally different world and this what these Inventors have been able to tap into and some are just simply born with that.'

I autosubscribed because you use DB as reference 👌💪💪

Very cool thank you bioneer
