Hypnogonics Sounds?

[TheTimeKeep]

I've only had hypnogonic images once (I did a W.I.L.D), and I've only ever heard it used in that context. I asked this question 2 or 3 years ago and didn't get any confirmations from anyone else that this had happened to them. Basically, when I get ready to go to sleep (Not necassarily on the verge of sleep either, for example I layed down for a nap just 10 minutes ago and that's what prompted me to write this again) sometimes I will hear things. That's it! As I said earlier the only way I can describe it is that it must operate in a similar method as hypnogonics only it's with sound. The sounds are also quite vivid. In that earlier reference to the nap I was going to take, I could've sworn (By where the sound was coming from, what it sounded like e.t.c.) that I was laying on the couch in my grandparents (now deceased) home and heard my grandfather clear his throat in his office! Looking forward to your responses, -Time.

Yes, I believe you can experience any sort of sensory phenomena during hypnagogia -- in fact I think sounds are more common than images, for me.

I notice audio hypnogogia a lot, even when I'm just going to bed (not WILDing).

I hear voices almost every time I WILD. They can be entire conversations, commercials, news reports. They often evolve into dream scenes, and help carry me into the dream. I've heard other people mention that they hear loud sounds, like screeching metal, screams, or loud bangs. I'm just glad I don't get anything so startling

I hear voices when I go to bed all the time. Sometimes they can jerk me awake. If I have a song in my head, I often hear it play out loud when I try to sleep

Well, I recently(yesterday) had some hypnogonic sounds so it seems after using the autosuggestion method. I heard sounds like sirens which got pretty loud, but, it seems sounds are more common than images

Same here, I experienced those sounds many times . They often make me drift off to normal dream because they distract me a lot.

i get the same thing though its usually only a few words or someone humming a tune. this reminds me when i was younger i remember if i though about any word (not internally pronouncing it just thinking of the word if you know what i mean) i could make myself hear it. like hwne you play music back to yourself in your head. i havent tried anything similar lately im more focused on achieving a voluntary WILD.

thats happened to me where i havent visualized somthin yet (usually when im exasted and go to nap)but my mind is gettin there to the point where i hear things but everything else is still normal(cuz i can still see what is usually the table in front of my sectional it happened 2 or more i think in a row cuz i realized it then was like WTF? then lied down and heard whatever my mind was gettin to again and was like rly thats cool and then tried to do it after that i think it did work for a while after that
