A place between sleep and awake

My book The Grim Life started as a dream… well, sort of. I was seeing a young boy about to take his own life, and before he jumped, a hand reached out to stop him. I woke with a start, tears on my face. Then I was totally awake. Did you ever see the movie Hook? I hang out in that place between sleep and awake on a daily basis. I can never seem to turn my brain off when I want to fall asleep and vivid dreams can awaken me and then I just stay awake.

Sometimes more than three at a time. My fellow creative types gotta know how that feels lol. This is intuitively appealing and would fit with one of the most curious aspects of the hypnagogic experience: Our thoughts can stray towards tumbling horses, zips and violins but they also can seem completely unremarkable, and indeed, entirely reasonable, until we are jolted from our reverie.

Only at this point do they seem odd or out-of-context. The difficulty that people have detecting the strangeness of these experiences prompted psychologists Clemens and Jana Speth, both at the University of Dundee, to examine reports of hypnagogic intrusions. Similarly, by comparing the hypnagogic state to REM dreaming, a study by the same researchers confirmed the long-noted observation that while dreams often feel fully immersive, hypnagogia tends to be experienced as if we were passive observers—with the hallucinatory thoughts and images occurring as a projection on our existing sense of reality.

Researchers are working not only as neuroscientists but also as archivists of the unconstrained mind. Admittedly, studies from this new wave of interest in hypnagogia are small and still tentative but they reflect a growing trend towards understanding sleep not just as a state of rest and consolidation, but also as a scientific tool for observing the components of consciousness as they are stripped away for entry into slumber.

What these studies may be hinting at, is that the brain processes involved in sustaining consciousness might also be central to maintaining a stable, insightful experience of the world—in other words, keeping hallucinations in check.

Francesca Siclari , a sleep and consciousness researcher at the University Hospital of Lausanne, in Switzerland, also hopes this new wave of interest will result in more practical benefits. Sleep researchers across the world are now dedicated to recording some of the most ephemeral moments of human weirdness, which are often lost to memory after the drama and haze of dream and sleep.
