I read a bit on image streaming and there was a study done at some university (I could look it up but I'm more interested in the method) that said the IQ could be raised an average of 20 points. I find it interesting that it uncovers a lot of images that are so bizarre they seem dream like and memories that haven't been thought of for many years. In one session I seen this orange plastic baby chair that I loved as a kid but hadn't thought about for many years.
It works through a system called pole bridging. From scientific data we know that when we think in pictures the far right hemisphere of the brain (in the vast majority of people) lights up on a scan. When we use verbal language the far left of the brains hemisphere is activated. Image streaming brings both of these talents together so that there is a balance in the brain and a stronger neural net is created between both poles (left and right).
Image streaming can be used to problem solve, recall information, revision, invention etc. All you have to do is set your goal and then take about 20 minutes to become aware of the images that flow into you mind and describe them aloud (both hemispheres being used). You record what you say so you can play it back afterwards and analyze what was going through your mind. So for problem solving you could prime yourself with the intention of finding out how to overcome and obstacle in your life. Then spend 20 minutes letting your mind run free with all the images that come up describing them in sensory based language. Rather than saying "I see a waterfall" you might say "I see a big waterfall of white and grey. There is a white mist rising and a massive roar and I see people... someone is wearing a red coat with a blue cap with the letter M on it... " and so on. Don't try to make sense of the images at the time. Concentrate on describing the images. Making sense comes when you listen back to what you said.
I lost my scissors once. I was doing some home improvements and that grey handled implement was nowhere to be seen. I looked everywhere I could think of and was getting a little frustrated. So I chilled out and did a little image streaming. At first I was getting stuff that seemed unrelated then I sort of spaced out for a few seconds and WHAM! there was this image of my rubbish bin spinning around. The image was so weird and dreamlike that I jumped up and checked and there they where! I had thrown out some sticky tape and they were stuck to it.
I am putting this out there just to see if anyone has had positive experience of this technique that maybe others, including myself, would find useful.

Man... sometimes i do a thing somewhat related to this. But it only works when im VERY stoned. I lay down, relax, and just watch the images that come in my mind. I try to just watch them, without interfere, or create them. I just watch. It takes some time until i reach a level where they came from themselves, without any conscious effort of my part. But its possible to recognize when im in this 'state of mind'.
Anyway, the most weird feature of this is that sometimes the images i see are related to things that still didnt happen. Like if i was seeing the future. At least one of those images really become true, exactly as i had saw it. It was very weird, because what i did see was a very unusual thing, or rather, an almost impossible thing, but it realy happened some months after i had seen it.

That is way cool. I've also had visions of the future. I'm still not convinced that what I saw was part of precognition or that there was some logical answer that lead me to the image. I was thinking that it would be cool to start an image streaming session with the intention of seeing the future.
I know what you mean about letting the images just flow as in the beginning I was always interfering and changing them. It does take a little practice but once a person gets good at it they can have a torrent of images flowing into their conscious mind. It can also aid in being more conscious of the images in our dreams.

I like to call this dreamwalking. It usually happens when I'm totally relaxed - stoned or just daydreaming. It's pretty much like dreaming awake - I get vivid visions that, if I'm careful, I can control and interact with. Yesterday I had this vision of myself as a schizophrenic, where I backed myself up in telling a friend to quit bothering me about not having any ambition. It was pretty messed up.
It's usually fun though. By observing what your subconscious thinks about you can unlock personal barriers. Dreaming can be a very useful tool.
