Thanks and Regards
Arthur,
If you are asking if is okay to use the images or situations as a way of stimulating imagination for use in perception I'd say, sure, it's okay. If you are like me the same ol' same ol' can get boring, so it's also okay to use some other images, situations, fantasies, etc.
The key is to allow whatever imaginary things you use to cause you to actually experience perception using imagination. You can use a remember conversation with a friend including details of the scene it took place in. It can be really, really simple. For example there was a time in my learning that I would be in a rush to get started. In those cases I did things like say to myself, when I see the number 12 in the blackness of having my eyes closed I'm ready to go. Sure enough, at some point I'd "see" 12 in the blackness and go.
The one place I learned the importance of taking my time is the relaxation at the beginning. It's really important for me not to just go through the motions of relaxing. It's really important that I actually experience the feeling of being relaxed, and to do that again when I realize that I am not feeling relaxed.
Hope that's helpful,
Bruce
