The Twilight Zone of Consciousness: the Hypnagogic State
The hypnagogic state is a fascinating liminal phase that many people experience yet often overlook. This twilight zone of consciousness is where the body begins to drift towards sleep while the mind remains surprisingly active. Imagine lying in bed, the world around you fading into darkness, and suddenly, you begin to see vivid images or hear whispers that seem to come from nowhere. You might even feel as though you are floating or falling. This experience is known as the hypnagogic state.
