Hypnagogic state and Lucid Dreaming (?)

Hi. So I have some questions about the hypnagogic state.
First of all, what is the hypnagogic state?
Can it help with lucid dreaming?
How do you get into the hypnagogic state so that it can help with lucid dreaming?
I found out what it basically is but how do you use it???
Just wondering. Thanks:D

Hi Kiwi, you know when you are drifting to sleep and sometimes you hear noises like maybe talking for a second or in your mind you see a scene develop and quickly go, well this is the hypnogogic state. Now, the main reason hypnagogic imagery occurs is to induce relaxation for your mind so that you can fall asleep. So in order to take advantage of your hypnagogia to initiate lucid dreams, you need to keep a certain degree of conscious cognitive awareness as your physical body is drifting off to sleep.

One method to accomplish this is to practice regular meditation. Another way is to relax as you listen to binaural beats - a unique audio technology featured in products such as the Lucid Dreaming MP3.
Hope this helps a little:)

so where can i learn how to take advantage of the hypnagogic state?????
