Welcome to the unreal world of hypnagogic dreams.Jarvis323 said:The level of realism was kind of strange. It was distinct and clear, but not realistic enough to think it was a real sound.
Besides the sound and light, right before it happened, I was aware and noted to myself that I was in an odd state where I felt like half my mind had crossed into a sleeping state, and the other half was still awake. And then at the moment my head exploded, it was as if there was some kind of short circuit between those two states, and as though some electricity or something suddenly traversed from one part of my brain to another.Baluncore said:Welcome to the unreal world of hypnagogic dreams.

The "hypnogogic jerk" at the moment you recover balance, is characteristic of not lying down when going to sleep. Horses and cattle don't have that problem. Try sitting with a book in your hand, with your elbo on the table, fore arm upright. When you nod off, your arm will fall, and the sound will awaken you, so you can immediately recall the hypnagogic dream.Jarvis323 said:And then at the moment my head exploded, it was as if there was some kind of short circuit between those two states, and as though some electricity or something suddenly traversed from one part of my brain to another.
I once read that Einstein did this by holding a paper weight. If he fell asleep, he dropped it and woke himself up. He allegedly did this to maintain a hypnogogic state.Baluncore said:The "hypnogogic jerk" at the moment you recover balance, is characteristic of not lying down when going to sleep.
