Hypnogogic hallucinations occur during the transition from wakefulness to sleep, often experienced while falling asleep.

Both types of hallucinations can involve vivid visual or auditory experiences, but they are tied to different stages of the sleep-wake cycle.

You can call it a mental image if you are awake, or a dream if you are asleep.

Otherwise, it could be called an hallucination if it is connected with some pathological or drug related cause.


Why do you hallucinate at night when you wake up?

Nighttime hallucinations, often referred to as hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations, can occur during the transition between sleep and wakefulness. They are more likely to happen when you're sleep-deprived, experiencing stress, or have irregular sleep patterns. These hallucinations can be visual, auditory, or tactile, and are typically harmless, though they can be disorienting. They result from the brain's mixed processing of waking and dreaming states, leading to vivid, dream-like experiences.


Why would you hear voices and or music right before falling asleep or just after waking?

In Silence..You hear the Sound of Silence. People who can hear voices or music is because they are very peaceful and their mind very still. You can hear the Sound of Silence if you meditate and still your mind. _____________ This may have nothing whatever to do with religion or the occult. Experiences like this can be quite natural, even if they appear to be similar to hallucinations. When they happen while falling asleep they are called 'hypnagogic', and when they happen while waking they are called 'hypnopompic'.


What is the phenomenon of hearing real sounds in dreams and how does it impact our understanding of the dream experience?

The phenomenon of hearing real sounds in dreams is known as hypnagogic or hypnopompic auditory hallucinations. These are perceptions of sound that occur during the transition between wakefulness and sleep. When we hear real sounds in our dreams, it can impact our understanding of the dream experience by blurring the line between reality and the dream world. This can make the dream feel more vivid and immersive, leading to a deeper emotional impact and potentially influencing the content and interpretation of the dream.


Is it possible that after you have a lucid dream of being parlyzed that when you wake up you become paralyzed for life?

Lucid dreams are just dreams. They are enjoyable but they are not prophetic visions. You might wake up paralyzed after having such a dream, but the dream will have nothing to do with it. By the way, the feeling of paralysis upon awakening is common, and if there is a sense of being in a dream-like state even as you awaken, it is called a hypnopompic experience. The brain is just in the process of 'booting up' the systems that give executive control back to the conscious mind. Muscle control may not be up and running for a few moments, but it will come.


When you sleep you feel you are awake but you cannot move?

This is a normal and not uncommon experience. When you are just going to sleep or more commonly when you are waking in the morning, you may enter a period of being half awake. Sometimes these experiences are called hypnagogic if experienced when awakening. When they are experienced during the process of falling asleep they are called hypnopompic. They can seem like hallucinations, but they are not caused by any pathology. There are systems in place to inhibit motor activity and sensory input while asleep; this is what causes the stupor that we experience when asleep. We sometimes begin to regain some consciousness before these systems have completely restored our motor and sensory faculties.
