Pretty much, yes. When we are awake, we are a lot more distracted by the 
external environment and the physical senses themselves.

This sound like the method I've had the most luck with. I just relax, 
daydream, and often a clear, stable visualization will appear. However, as 
soon as I notice this consciously, the visualization disappears. The only 
way I can think to bridge the gap is persistence.
