Hypnogogic State

[Guest guest]

Tara, a little bit of this trance state occurs with me also but in a

different and lesser form:

 

First, when I lie in bed listening to an overseas news service, a

vivid picture comes to me of the newsreader's face (how accurate it

is I don't know). Second, when meditating I see a succession of

strangers, mainly their faces - their eyes locked into mine. Quite

often, this means I'm fighting sleep and I have to stop meditating.

hynogogic trance in a matter of minutes under the right

circumstances. I have had other visual experiences while in this

type of consciousness. In a hypnogogic state, I am neither awake

nor asleep. Instead, I am in an in-between phase, where I am fully

conscious and aware, but in a sort of trance or sleep-like state.

This state occurs to most everyone when they are going into or

coming out of sleep. For me, I can go into this state from a fully

awakened consciousness if the kundalini wants to play. This is what

happened with the dismemberment, so the visual experiences were part

of a dream-like sequence, but more real because I was not dreaming.

It is as if the brain is in both beta and delta frequencies at the

same time. That is why most people will have visions when they are

coming out of sleep, or in deep meditation. The brain and body are

more relaxed and able to contact those realms that are outside of

our normal waking awareness.

Ahh the faces! A good sign there John R. Only strangers to you now though. -

John R,

Sounds to me like you are on the right track. I wouldn't

underestimate the visuals, they reveal much. Have you ever tried

mirror gazing? Some wierd stuff can come of it. Supposedly you

can see your faces before you were born - past lives, etc. It's fun

to play with, but you have to be sure to be in a positive space, and

emit love, as you create what you are thinking at the time. I

haven't done it in awhile. Let us know how the kundalini is

cooking. How are the Tibetans going? Blessings - Tara
