WHAT IS HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— hypnagogia is the transition state between wakefulness and sleep. hypnopompia, on the contrary, is a condition that occurs during the transition state from sleep into wakefulness. both of these states are accompanied by involuntary thoughts, images, fragments of memories, as well as vivid visual and auditory hallucinations (like waking dreams), often along with sensations of levitation or falling
— during hypnagogia or hypnapompia, your body is relaxed but your mind is active, making your subconscious mind receptive. “during hypnagogia, you are in a powerful state in which every assumption instantly bypasses your conscious mind, going directly to your subconscious; being absorbed like a sponge thus easily believing anything”
SYMPTOMS
visual hallucinations: flashes of light, geometric shapes or patterns, vivid images of people, animals, or scenes
auditory hallucinations: music, voices, knocking, buzzing, ringing, whisper, hearing your name, explosions, bangs
tactile and somatic hallucinations: sensations of floating, flying, falling, rotating, swaying, rubbing, light touch, bugs crawling on the skin
hypnic jerks: sudden muscle spasms or jerks that may wake a person up, often associated with a falling sensation. in my own case, i observed that the index finger rose on its own or the hand clenched into a fist
if you think you've experienced hypnagogia or hypnopompia, you probably have. besides, we are all different, so the symptoms of hypnagogia and hypnopomia will be different for everyone
HOW TO INDUCE HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— here you will find more methods, below i will give those that i personally like. this post also deserves attention
HYPNOPOMPIC STATE
EASY METHOD
— before going to bed, set an intention in the morning to immediately start doing the method (affirmations, visualization) upon waking up
— wake up in the morning
PHASE METHOD
— sleep 4-6 hours and wake up with (or without) an alarm clock
— when you wake up, stay awake for 5-20 minutes
— go back to sleep with the intention of waking up in an hour or two and being aware of each natural awakening
— it is advisable to wake up completely motionless and with your eyes closed. but it's okay if you don't succeed. after each attempt, go back to sleep with the intention of waking up and trying again
— more details: 001, 002, 003
HYPNAGOGIC STATE
FOCUS METHOD
— lie down and relax your body
— it is advisable not to move, but if you do this, it will not cancel your progress in any way. you can swallow, move your tongue and jaw
— now choose an anchor: breathing, darkness behind your eyelids, affirmation, heartbeat, etc.
— now focus your attention on the chosen anchor. from time to time you will be distracted by other thoughts, that's okay. but try again and again to return to the anchor that will keep your mind alert while your body falls asleep
— “you will know when you have entered the hypnagogic state if you feel your awareness slipping from you/dozing off to unconscious sleep and you feel extremely drowsy, foggy, groggy”. however, let me remind you again that we are all different and your symptoms of hypnagogia may differ from the symptoms of most
— relax. do not attempt to induce or enhance hypnagogic hallucination. watch this for about a minute and then start doing the method
SONG METHOD
— lie down and relax
— play the song in your head until it plays naturally in your head or your mind distorts the lyrics
— it is recommended to sing throughout the day so that this song plays in your head automatically
FOREARM UP METHOD
— lie down and relax
— raise either arm 90° upward so that your elbow rests on the mattress. this is what it will look like. rersonally, i myself raise my hand at the very moment when i begin to lose control of my thoughts. and remember that if you get tired of holding your hand in this position, let go of it and raise the second one instead
— when you fall asleep, your hand drops, which wakes you up. this is a signal that you are already in a state of hypnagogia. you can start affirming or visualizing, but i still advise leaving your hand raised
— put your hand down and let yourself fall asleep
CONSTANT MOTION METHOD
— lie down and relax
— imagine an animal or object that is constantly moving. for example, a running dog, the movement of a pendulum, a flying bird, etc.
COUNTING METHOD
— lie down and relax
— now count in your head until you lose count or have hypnagogic hallucinations. try to visualize the numbers and also focus on their sound in your mind
EYE MOVEMENT METHOD
— lie down and relax
— move your eyes from side to side, simulating eye movement in rem sleep. do it slow or fast, it's up to you. if your eyes are tired, then give them a little rest and start moving them up, down, left, right again
SHIFTING | VOID | MANIFESTATION
HOW TO ENTER THE VOID FROM HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— set the intention to enter the void state. also don’t forget to do this before inducing hypnagogia or waking up in hypnopompia
— try visualizing the void or start affirming: “i am in the void state. i am pure consciousness. i am.”
— feel how your body becomes weightless. imagine that you are floating without a body in total darkness
— if it becomes difficult to control your thoughts, then say the affirmations again with the confidence that you are already in the void. after that, just relax and let yourself fall asleep with a feeling of fulfilled desire
HOW TO SHIFT REALITIES FROM HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— set the intention to shift realities
— visualize your desired reality little by little. imagine sounds, heat or cold, texture of fabric, etc.
— if it’s difficult for you to visualize, then affirm: “i’m in my desired reality. i’m lying on my bed in my desired reality right now”
— do it with confidence that you are in your desired reality
HOW TO MANIFEST WITH HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— affirm what you want with the knowledge and feeling that you already have it. repeat affirmations until you get bored or fall asleep
— or visualize the desire. imagine that you are holding the desired thing in your hand or come up with a short scene that you will loop in your mind
— after that you can turn over on your side and fall asleep

SYMPTOMS
— do not despair if the symptoms suddenly stop or disappear. on the contrary, it is a signal that you need to continue affirming or visualizing. “i’d love to rip a hole through time, reach back and grab past-me who used to give up after hypnagogia symptoms faded, and slap her, because if my goal was mind awake/body asleep, and i reached the sign that said “hey clo your body is falling asleep while your mind is awake”— why. tf. didn’t i just keep going?”
LAW OF ASSUMPTION
— don't forget the importance of persistence, ignoring 3d and mental dieting. even if your attempt was unsuccessful, this is just a reason to remind yourself that true reality is your imagination, and 3d only reflects 4d. your thoughts, beliefs and assumptions create your 3d reality
— what do you think will happen if after each attempt you say something like “i failed again”, “i’ll try again tonight”, “this method doesn’t work”? it only reinforces your subconscious negative beliefs. please ignore 3d. replace negative thoughts with positive ones. “i successfully entered the void again”, “i shift so easily”, “i did it again!” be persistent in these assumptions
TIPS
— have you ever heard about the tetris effect? “people who have spent a long time at some repetitive activity before sleep, in particular one that is new to them, may find that it dominates their imagery as they grow drowsy, a tendency dubbed the tetris effect”. more details here. the point is that before you induce hypnagogia or hypnopopmia, you need to saturate your mind with the thought, affirmation or short scene that you want to loop in these transitional creatures. read success stories, affirmations, look at mood boards, read scripts, etc. this increases the chance that during hypnagogia or hypnopompia it will automatically pop into your head without effort
— don't forget the importance of intention. here's the best way to set an intention
— try a couple of methods when you wake up in the middle of the night or early in the morning. wbtb works wonders
— if you fall asleep instantly, then put something under your pillow or sit in a recliner chair

Hiii. Every time I try to do a method I always get hypnic jerks. How do I achieve hypnagogia from this? I check to see if there's any hypnagogic imagery but no luck. I've also affirmed right after I got the jerks but still no success😞
HYPNAGOGIA QUESTION
hiii! this question was asked even before i published my post about hypnagogia and hypnopopmia. you may have already found the answer, but it’s not difficult for me to repeat
— as i said in this post, the symptoms of hypnagogia are different for everyone. you don't have to see hypnagogic imagery. experiencing hypnagogic jerks means you have achieved hypnagogia
— you can start affirming and visualizing as soon as you experience any one of the symptoms of hypnagogia. relax. don't worry if you wake yourself up and the symptoms stop. carry on no matter what
— in the same post i pointed out the importance of applying the law of assumption. unsuccessful attempts exist only in your imagination. if you decided that you experienced failure, then the 3d will reflect this. your thoughts, beliefs and assumptions create your 3d reality. ignore 3d, be persistent, after each attempt, affirm that you have successfully shifted or entered the void
Is the hypnagogic state when you’re so tired that your thoughts are all confused and you’re struggling to stay awake and your eyelids are kinda closing by themselves and you’ll fight to keep them open one second, then the next you’ll realize they’ve been closed without you even realizing it and time gets all confusing in a way? And also those things where it feels like you’re falling, and so you snap yourself awake? If so, I’ve been in that state so many times. I heard hypnagogia was a very popular shifting method and I kinda automatically thought it would be some 10 step method thing so I never gave it much attention, not something I’m always getting into? I get into this state like every few nights and I literally love the feeling. I dont know if that’s weird but I just love the feeling when your thoughts are all scrambled and you’re like fighting for your life to stay awake… I like getting into this state just to see how long I can battle it for before I go to sleep so it’s actually surprising to me that I’ve been in a state that’s so easy to shift with and do anything. I don’t mean to brag or be like “haha guys this is so easy how are you guys failing” so I hope it doesn’t sound like that but I didn’t even know this was a state people tried to get into, or when people say “I haven’t been able to induce hypnagogia for years :(“ because in my mind, I can get into it like at least twice a week?? I’m very surprised there’s some people who haven’t even been in this state once!! Have some people never been so tired that this happened? I thought it was a universal experience.. I feel so bad cause it feels really good to be honest in my personal opinion 😭 but I could be mistaking this for something else. So I just wanted confirmation is this hypnagogia or something else? I hear shifting is very easy in this state because your subconscious is moreso awake and absorbs your affirmations and such, and I’ve never thought to affirm while in this state (of course shifting is easy in itself cause of loa and stuff but i hope you get what I mean!)
HYPNAGOGIA QUESTION
— hiii! yes, you've been experiencing hypnagogia this whole time. it is indeed a very pleasant state. i especially like hypnagogic jerks
— yes, in this state you can affirm and visualize. do not forget that everything you decide during hypnagogia is true. be persistent in your new assumption
