Hypnagogia Quotes

“Consciousness changes continually within each of us, and does so radically each day. It shifts from the hallucination of dreaming sleep, to the fluid thought that is experienced in hypnagogic states, to narrowly focused workaday full alertness — and to everything in between.

The fluidity of our minds makes a possible change in consciousness closer to our daily experiences than we usually assume. It is a further development of what we experience when we get an insight into the workings of a machine, or into how another person is thinking, or when we suddenly discover the solution to a problem. Areas inside the brain temporarily shut off normal thinking to make way for a new insight or new level of understanding.”
