Re: Step2: Visualizations

I should think that the image disappears because you are moving your
attention out of the 'dream state' and into a thinking/analyzing
state. Going along with the images and subtly directing them may help
you. Keep in mind that consciously trying to take control of
something subconscious may shift your attention out of the
subconscious state, instead try to 'direct the experience' - or just
observe.
