I shall now declare the wierdest thing that happened when I was between sleep and wakefulness: on the bus a couple days back, I spent a couple of hours in a couple of seconds. thoughts grew, expanded, exploded, multiplied in the span of milliseconds in a glorious polydimensional thought-sex ritual repeated millions of times, causing a unity of concious and subconcious yet to be felt again. actually completely undescribable, but delightful.
ide like to get more into the hypnogogic state... wat u describe sheds light on wat little experience ive had with it... i remember reading tommy edison used to sit in a chair and hold these round metal balls in his hand and wen he drifted off to sleep he would drop the balls into metal pans before...instantly bringing him back to a wakefull states...he used to do it to solve problems he was working on, but i suppose it would b really useful in remembering and recording hypnogogic imagery
