Hi Stephen, <<I just relax, daydream, and often a clear, stable visualization will appear. However, as soon as I notice this consciously, the visualization disappears.>> Same problem here. I don't understand what makes the image disappear when "noticed". Can anyone shed light on this? <<The only way I can think to bridge the gap is persistence.>> Practice makes perfect yes! I've been putting quite a bit of time in this (30 minutes or so a day for 4 months, sometimes 1 hour) and although improvement is very slow and very gradual, it's definitely getting better. Thanks Stephen. Olivier
