Visualising, how to? Options

I've been wondering what to explain to myself really. When we are born we know nothing about using the mind, as we grow older we visualize certain things. It's all there when we need it, we just have to want to do so. Although thats the basic stuff really. For example if anyone else see's this stuff or not I have no idea, asked a friend and mother and they dont seem to do so, but it's what I would call the spiritual, scientists probably think of it as dark matter, it's the gray bitty stuff that reminds me of dust. I know it's different for everyone but those who are born spiritually aware would have it there. Saying that though, if anyone has been to the etheric then they would also see this other stuff almost twinkling in the sunlight, colord blue white and yellow. It's down to perception of reality, most people only have the basics, what you see when you remember, has anyone else noticed a flat color border around their memory window?

What do you see though and how would you go about visualising something in that space / with it?

I am not completely exact with the reference you mean, but when I visualize, it is normally the blank, black screen, and at times the colors come in and out, but that is only because of me falling into a deeper state of meditation. I forget the term for it, it might be something like hypogenic state? Don't quote me on that though, I need to refresh my memory. If you could give me a better example/idea on what exactly you mean, I can share a better descriptive experience with ya.

Thanks for the reply, im wanting to know anything at all to do with visualization I guess (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , very broad topic though.
Interesting to know that you get colors. What colors to you get? I take it it's like a filter on the screen and not your whole vision.
I've experienced a trance like state when at night looking at a light, my whole vision kinda warps, like looking through moving water.
