- User23 7y ago"The hypnagogic state is rational waking cognition trying to make sense of non-linear images and associations; the hypnopompic state is emotional and credulous dreaming cognition trying to make sense of real world stolidity." [1] Thank you for the clarification. I've never noticed any distinction between these two states. Perhaps that's why I conflate them. I suppose that stands to my point about the richness of autostimulated experiences. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnopompic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnopompic
