Dark NightShade’s Guide to Hypnagogia

Introduction: hello ^^. I’ve decided to make this guide on the hypnagogic state. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions as to what topics I should cover next ^^.

What is hypnagogia?: It is the transitional state between being awake, and falling asleep. The opposite of the hypnagogic state is hynopompia, which is the stage that happens when you are waking up from sleep. In both states you are able to take advantage of to manifest easier, shift or respawn in as well. You can induce the hypnagogic state at anytime. You may use this state to also enter other states, such as lucid dreaming, void state, god state, etc.

What would one experience during the hypnagogic/hypnopomic state?

During both states, you can experience strong visual and auditory hallucinations (along with other types of hallucinations). You may hallucinate someone calling your name, music, voices, people, etc. You may feel lightness, your body jerking, and sometimes sleep paralysis.

Methods to induce the hypnagogic state:

Meditation

-Meditate and relax deeply while you watch colors slowly forming behind your eyelids. Don’t force or manipulate anything. Don’t force any thoughts or hallucinations-just let everything flow.

Inducing images method

1. Lay in a position you are not comfortable in. This is so that your body “asks” you for the usual sleep position. Therefore you will feel discomfort and impulses to change positions, making you stay in the hypnagogic state for longer time.

2. Use any deep relaxation techniques to relax, deepen your breath, and letting go of all physical tensions.

3. Create random imagery. The more random it is, the better. Make them appear slowly, with ease. Make intrusive thoughts (if any) part of the process.

4. Return to step threw if the intrusive thoughts appear. Be gentle with yourself.

5. Follow whatever images come up next, generate a new one, and go with the flow.

Hyper-tiredness

With this method, you basically ro strenuous exercise or tire your body before going to bed, to induce the state easier. You can also combine this with the “forearm up” method, which you lay on your back and place your arm 90 degrees up. As you faol asleep, your arm will drop down and awaken you. As something extra, you can also hold something not too heavy nor light in your hand. Like a small ball, for example.

Imagining objects or animals

Ones that can be easily visualized, doing a constant motion. Like a horse galloping, or a puppy wagging its tail.

Phosphene

Softly observe the phosphene that floats around your eyelids when theyre closed. It can slowly turn into images.

Song method

You play a song in your head until the hypnagogic state takes over and the auditory hallucinations occur. You will realize that you are in the state when the song naturally plays in your mind, and/or your mind distorts the song, or makes up a random song that is completely different from the original one.

REM eye movement imitation

Note: this is recommend it to do it as you are going to bed, and not in th4 REM cycle itself.

You basically imitate the REM-like state by slowly moving your eyes left and right while observing your field vision.

SSILD method

-you can use the SSILD technique by focusing softly on what you see, hear and feel a few times. This will induce strong hypnagogic hallucinations, especially if done during the REM cycle.

Sigil for the hypnagogic state:

It is already energy charged. You can simply stare at it for as long as you want.

Intro

Hello! It’s Dark and I am here to share you my personal guide/advice as to what i do to lucid dream. Please remember that what may work for me may not work for you. You are free to ask for any clarifications, questions, advice, etc. in the comments. Please do not claim this guide as your own. Remember to read this with an open mind, and an open heart 🧿💕.

Dream journaling

This is a common one, and although many people probably make a journal specifically for them to write down their dreams on it, it doesn’t work for me if i personally do that. Mostly because I will forget that I even own a notebook, and will probably lose it/lose track. What I do, is that since i always have my ipad near my bed when I’m asleep, I dm a friend about the dreams I had. If you don’t want to tell a friend, you can also use the notes app on your device.

Advice: Something I used to do is make my own discord server just for myself, where i organize my scripts. Every channel has a theme. For example,you can have a channel where you write down your dreams, and another one where you write down you lucid dreams, etc. since it’s discord, the date will already be recorded so no need to worry about when you experienced your dreams.

Meditating

When I meditate, I often sit down and close my eyes rather than laying down, mostly so that I do not fall asleep while doing so (unless I am doing a method that requires me to sleep). I focus on my breathing, and I try to breathe slowly and as quiet as possible.

What I do:

1. I sit in a comfortable position and I put some brown noise if my surroundings are too loud for me to concentrate. You can also lay down if you desire.

2. I feel my breath. I pick a spot, which can be nose, belly or chest. I focus on really feeling the inhales and exhales.

3. Every time you get lost in thought -which you will, many many times-you forgive yourself and you gently return to your breathing.

Tips:

-to help me stay focused, I count my breaths. You start at one, and when you reach ten (if you do) you start back at one. Every time you get lost or distracted, you start over.

-set a timer for how long you want to meditate. I’d personally recommend 5-10 minutes of meditation for beginners.

Subliminals

Listening to lucid dreaming subliminals whenever I feel like doing so has helped me a lot to lucid dream. I said “whenever I feel like doing so” because manifesting shouldn’t be treated as a chore. Below are two subs I mostly listen to that have helped me a lot.

1. My lucid dreaming / void state subliminal combo

2. This galantamine supplement

Reality checks

A popular reality check method is pinching your nose. I do this one sometimes. You basically take a deep breath in, and you then pink your nostrils shut and you try to breathe in. You can’t breathe in because your nostrils are sealed shut. My personal method is to touch anything (usually the walls) and see how it is solid. In dreams, my hand will usually pass through it or look blurry.

Methods

These are some methods I personally do sometimes

Using the hypnagogic state

I basically affirm to myself “i am sleepy, i am so sleepy” and relax my body as much as i can. I also try to slow my breathing down (basically I inhale for 4 secs, hold for 4, and exhale for 4). Once I feel sleepy or start hallucinating, I tell myself that I will lucid dream the moment I fall asleep.

WBTB (wake back to bed)

This method I have used it in the past, usually on weekends. I basically set an alarm in my ipad after 4-6 hours of sleep, to target my REM cycle. Your cycle may be different from mine, so you should experiment what works for you. If you just woke up from a dream, that means that you are in your REM cycle. I then do activities that do not wake my body too much-such as going to the bathroom, meditation, etc. I sometimes use my ipad to play some subliminals for me to lucid dream for 5 mins, but I do not recommend this if your device keeps you awake. I then go back to sleep, and I then start lucid dreaming.

Alternative to the WBTB method:

Idk how this method is called, or if it is popular enough to have a name, but I basically put my alarm to my REM cycle, and once I wake up, I stay still in my bed. I close my eyes again, and tell myself “I will lucid dream” and immediately go to sleep.

How i stabilize my lucid dreams

I usually try to touch the walls in my dreams (or the ground) and feel the wall with my hands. Sometimes spin around in my dream and I yell “STABILITY”. Another thing that I sometimes do (which I dont recommend for everyone) is to blink while lucid dreaming. Some people may wake up while blinking, so I dont recommend this to everyone.

Witchcraft

Sigils

This is not for everyone, but you could try using sigils if you need help in lucid dreaming. I personally made a sigil that will help the user get rid of any blockages regarding anything that may hinder them from manifesting (including lucid dreaming, shifting, etc).

You chant: “I break the chains of whatever is holding me back. My blockages don’t define me, and i let go of thinking otherwise.”

And you can look/stare at this sigil for as long as you want. This sigil is energy charged with the energies of my higher self and energies of my wr. Please do not steal this sigil and claim it as yours 🧿⬇️.

Asking for help

You could also ask help from someone you’re close to from your desired reality to help you lucid dream. I sometimes ask Zuko, Kacchan, or my deity for help. However, if you are new to deity work, please do your research and only do it once you are ready to work with them.

Crystals I use for lucid dreaming

-amethyst for relaxation and promoting lucid dreams

-celestite for easing anxiety when sleeping

Teas i drink/plan to drink again for lucid dreaming

-chamomile (for me to feel sleepy, as I struggle to sleep/remain asleep as i have a lot of energy)

-peppermint

-valerian root tea (with cinnamon powder)

Outro

So this is the things I do to lucid dream! Hopefully it helps some of you. Remember that this is my personal experience! You are free to experiment and see what works out for you. Have a great day/night

🧿🌸✨🦋💕

Relationships are key 🔑 because we are in them all the time. Whether it is default or intentional we must learn how to hold true to self while navigating our relationships. . . You Are More Than Enough! Many times we lose ourselves to the relationship. We want someone else to validate our worth. That’s never going to happen. YOU have to know who you are. YOU have to uplift you on a regular basis. Sometimes the other party in your relationship feels less than, unworthy, insecure or undeserving. But you cannot see it because you are allowing those emotions and feelings to project onto you. However, YOU have to know when to remove yourself from a relationship that is tearing you down. . . I am your biggest fan! Let me help you rebuild your self love ❤️! . . Click the link in my bio to grab your FREE biohacking guidance tools toward self love. You can thank me later. Haha 😆!

We learn from our reflections in life. Have you ever thought about the reason for having someone in your life? Regarding relationships, many people ponder upon that question out of frustration. But think about it now. How did you play a role in having that person come into your life? What are the lessons you will learn while that person is in your life? Even if the relationship is sour, there are still lessons to learn. . . Your relationship partner is a reflection of you. Your challenge today is to look for the similarities. An easy task is to think about your complaints about your partner. Then take a look at yourself. Figure out where you are doing the same thing in your life. It could be metaphorical but the reflection is there. . . Meanwhile, know that your biggest responsibility in the relationship is to love ❤️ you wholesomely and then bring your whole self to the collective of the relationship. Let that person’s love for you be the icing of the love you 😍 have for self. Never ever expect that person’s love to be the cake 🎂. Their love will not replace or supersede your love for self. Keep your contract with self! . . Click the link in my bio to grab your FREE biohacking guidance tools. You can thank me later. Haha 😆!
