Hypnagogia: How the State Between Wakefulness and Sleep Works Hypnagogia is the transition between wakefulness and sleep. During this state, it’s common to experience visual, audio, or other types of hallucinations.

I am pleased to see growing awareness and more detailed information about hypnagogia and hypnopompia that I will share here. I am not a doctor. I am a person with lifelong experience. I do not prescribe medication and I do not take anything. I do not make suggestions about how one can achieve a hypnogogic state. I will only present myself as how I live with it.

Kurt Vonnegut on the Shapes of Stories and Why Uncertainty Is the Crucible of Creativity “The truth is, we know so little about life, we don’t really know what the good news is and what the bad news is.”

I'm very pleased about this discovery

Tapping into the Brain to Help a Paralyzed Man Speak In a once unimagined accomplishment, electrodes implanted in the man’s brain transmit signals to a computer that displays his words.

I am grieving with the discovery of children's graves for my own reason, and acknowledge with love and respect everyone has their own reason.

My reason is I dreamed and was upset and didn't want to go to school and refused to do my homework because I experienced the atrocities of children in my dreams and saw these families in my half-sleep.

I'm relieved I am not crazy, these dreams were pointing to something true. I am grieving this is true.

This would become useful to follow my prescient dreams but with a tempered word of wisdom. As with dreaming, be aware not all that sparkles is gold. Gifts are not to be taken for granted or used for recreation or gain.

Keeping the mind cleared of negative thoughts, keeping emotions cleared of negative experiences help maintain a healthy sleep environment. Bad dreams don't feel good for me. I raise my boundaries to negative energy and welcome ease. grace and peace in my life.

A nice awakening dream today had me in conversation with Vincent Price, dressed in a blue suit and looking handsomely well groomed.
He asked me directly, "You can't hear me in the absence of intuition can you?" I was a bit taken aback this had not been discussed before.
"Try it," he suggested, " just with ears only."
I only heard part of what he said because of all other sounds. You know how that is, you have to guess what was said when the door closes with an interrupting sound just as a spoken word is missed.
This is frustrating I thought. I'm always guessing!
To Vincent Price, I complained, "How can you become used to sounds through exposure when they have interfered all you life!"
"Angel, that is just nonsense" he replied, and I began a cathartic cry.
Sometimes I cry in my sleep, but this was gratefully very comforting. I'm not used to being hugged but the
dream was healing for me and released a hidden truth through realization and acknowledgement.
Sometimes our nightmares are challenging when we don't understand them, and then sometimes our challenges reveal themselves as forgiving and validating, even if it never happens in reality.
To you, I must share this discovery. Without use of intuition, I can't hear everything you are saying.
To Vincent Price, gratitude to angel visitors in my dreams. I'm not much for scary, but here's some drawings of skulls.

Beautiful words that reach into my inner light. This share is from me to you too. Don't get me wrong.

Listening to innate sense, the gut feeling that you need to accommodate for a challenge. During moments of clarity in the minds dreaming eye, these things are revealed, perhaps as waking dreams. The eureka that contains a brilliant solution.
In waking there is a need to remember these important messages from dreaming. If not to act now, but to use as a memorable marker for following the future path. Dreams carry deeply imbued snips of many ancient memories.

In this light I am aware.
In this light I can see where I am going. I will take note before I wake up into darkness and forget the aha, that came from inner being.

With great regard for awareness of neuroplasticity, the human brain can be trained to function in ways that were not originally present. The brain can change and grow with discipline and testing.

This is not a promise to be shared, that motivated or inspired people merely need to believe. This is an insight I have experienced myself. The brain has organic resilience when challenged, practiced and tested.

New methods work, old methods don't work. The brain needs to build itself and needs time to do this by itself. Your brain is exclusively your business. Practices need to be done in self-awareness, other people drilling and conditioning doesn't work so well. Discipline happens by remaining current in one's own practice field.

Most importantly, the practice field needs for the most part to be freed from chaos and obstacles, clamor and confusion, or one cannot focus on that intrinsic inner sense of development. Freedom from shaming and nagging, anger need to be repllaced with peacefulness, listening to not talking at a learner, and respect. for time and space. It won't happen overnight.

With this pandemic, there is potential for encephalopathy from either direct viral inflammation or vaccine side affects. If this becomes reality please educate and advocate rather than accept or ignore. There needs to be more attention to developing care routine and supports after illness so persons with brain differences can remain in the family and participate in an inclusive community.

Acknowledgement of oneness and individual energies.

Something as common and minor as a cold, sinus or ear infection, allergies can have a negative impact on a delicate brain when congestion causes inflammation. These temporary illnesses may create disoriented mood that needs respect. This will happen to me and I can not stop virus any more than the next person. I am not a bad person for struggling with a cold, a flu, other people have these things and do much better. I am sensitive and can't toughen up. Sensitive is sensitive.

Hypnogogia notes on aging: I am 62 years old, lifelong experience with hypnogogia and hypnopompia. For the most part, being in sleep transition is not scary, though as a child, seeing things while half awake was very strange because children believe what they see is real. The best experiences I had were from kindness of my dad who would help me understand these things children see are dreaming, not real. I am a good natured person and my dreams are pleasant, not scary. I often enjoy them and laugh in my sleep.

My care for others who experience dream and wake stages is to demystify superstitions. To identify that some people live with this experience at no fault and with no problem for the dreams themselves. I am happy to have not been diagnosed and medicated as a small child in the 60s. I do not promote any kind of adventure and don't advise any kind of attempts to learn how or induce this natural state.

My desire is to create a more comfortable awareness and promote healthy sleep experiences for future generations. What is important to me is a life lived. The aging process may include for some people a transition into sleep states. Imagine if your elder is beginning to see things while falling asleep, how they would feel disoriented. Studies of a kinder nature need to spend more effort explaining in reasonable terms how not all brains work the same.

Lucid dream: I was in good deep sleep for this dream. A young woman I dont know was writing in her diary about a young man she likes. I see her essence, though I don't see her reality. Mid length curly dark hair.
While she is writing, I hear her voice. She discovered the man she liked had gone hiking with a female friend. Her voice was clear as she wrote in her diary and I observed the auditory was normal female voice, not distorted by dreaming.
She speculated that this other woman and the man she liked were the same age and she sounded resigned about a possibility that they might have a thing between them. She was disappointed with the thought, and it weighed a bit on her desire to be open-hearted.

I woke, entirely refreshed, but had empathy for the young woman and felt grateful she confided in her diary with a tender heart .

This movie portrays a woman who has apophenia in a way that is accurate. It is comforting for me that someone understands looking at something in space, and also it is a bit jarring for me to see the vulnerability in her open eyes mind, looking inwardly into her own vision. I am grateful the characters in the scene were quiet, observant and respectful when she does this.
