I don't know about that.

This is a regular thing for me, and when I am using my "dream yoga" methods for lucid dreaming that is the first thing that comes when I fall asleep around 30 minutes. I'm sure you would technically be considered sleeping, probably stage 1, but if you hallucinate your in the hypnogogic state, but alas, it seems you have difficulty going any deeper. That is probably just a form of insomnia where your body is falling asleep, and your so sleep deprived it cannot be helped, despite your mind's restlessness, from what i understand. anyways I find it interesting that you take this subject like you do.

We call it WILD - Wake-Induced Lucid Dreams. It's really difficult to stay aware while your consciousness falls asleep, though. I can see the difficulty you had.

I used to have it all the time, pre-Uberman, when I had just about every stupid sleep disorder there was...but i haven't had it since. Hmm. Thanks for the input! No kidding?

Hope it doesn't happen to you, I mean polynapping with sleep paralysis is a bitch.

Hmm, I'll have to look that up. How to escape one's body could be a useful skill in several situations I can think of. ;) The deuce you say. Hmm, I’ll have to look that up.

People who train to do OBE's (out of body jaunts) would kill for your skill. That conscious but caught-in-amber feeling is the launch point. Give it a try some time! :-D Heidi “stuck here in Hypnogogia again!”
