hypnopompic

I was not asleep, nor in a hypnopompic state between sleep and waking.

The difference between a hypnagogic jerk while sleeping and a hypnopompic one?

Hypnopompic hallucinations refer to the same sensations while awakening from sleep.

I once enjoyed a hypnopompic experience myself.

If it happens as you are waking up, it's called hypnopompic or postdormital sleep paralysis.

Hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations are symptoms commonly experienced during episodes of sleep paralysis.

It is in many ways similar to the hypnagogic and hypnopompic states which occur just before falling asleep and upon waking, respectively.

Sleep paralysis is often accompanied by a feeling of a heavy weight pressing down upon ones chest, as well as hypnopompic hallucinations.

Hypnagogic hallucinations and hypnopompic hallucinations are considered normal phenomena.

Sleepers often wake confused, or speak without making sense, a phenomenon the psychologist Peter McKeller calls "hypnopompic speech".

Hypnagogia is the experience of the transitional states to and from sleep: the hypnagogic and the hypnopompic states of consciousness.

These are called hypnagogic hallucinations when accompanying sleep onset and hypnopompic hallucinations when occurring during awakening.

Sleep paralysis Symptoms: Paralysis when falling asleep (hypnagogic) and waking up (hypnopompic), lasting for anywhere from 30 seconds to longer than five minutes.

When it occurs upon awakening, the person becomes aware before the REM cycle is complete, and it is called hypnopompic or postdormital.

Hypnagogic hallucinations can occur as one is falling asleep and hypnopompic hallucinations occur when one is waking up.

They may occur when a person is about to fall asleep (hypnagogic hallucinations) or when a person is just waking up (hypnopompic hallucinations).

Effects of sleep paralysis include heaviness or inability to move the muscles, rushing or pulsating noises, and brief hypnogogic or hypnopompic imagery.

A hypnopompic state (or hypnopomp) is the state of consciousness leading out of sleep, a term coined by the psychical researcher Frederic Myers.

When the awakening occurs out of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, in which most dreams occur, the hypnopompic state is sometimes accompanied by lingering vivid imagery.

In some cases these ghosts-in-plaid are accompanied by the odor of hydrogen sulfide and sudden chills or sudden blasts of heat, while other episodes are probably purely hypnopompic.

In any case, I sat there frightened but unable or unwilling to deal with what I was observing My mind explained my vision to me: Despite my full wakefulness, it must be a hypnopompic hallucination.

"Hypnagogia" entered the popular psychology literature through Dr Andreas Mavromatis in his 1983 thesis, while "hypnagogic" and "hypnopompic" were coined by others in the 1800s and noted by Havelock Ellis.

He apparently drew in large measure from hypnagogic and occasionally hypnopompic dreamlets (experienced when falling asleep and waking up), which differ phenomologically from full-fledged dreams and are characterized by different neurological indices as well.

Since eidetics involve critical awareness Gordon Allport (1924), Wilder Penfield (1952), they are not hypnotically induced images or hypnagogic and hypnopompic images that occur in the twilight state between waking and sleeping.

The hypnagogic state is rational waking cognition trying to make sense of non-linear images and associations; the hypnopompic state is emotional and credulous dreaming cognition trying to make sense of real world stolidity.
