Hi Everybody,
I just found out about this board a couple of days ago. Before that I didnt even have a computer until this year. It took some time to figure out the internet and Im glad to have found this site. I am a Newbie but I also am an Oldie in age. Im nearly sixty years old but feel young at heart. I had cancer of the throat five years ago and rarely talk anymore. I have to use one of those talkers. But I have generally been silent for these five years. Since I haven't been talking much my nights have been full of extremely vivid dreams. But there are other things going on. I was keeping a journal about these odd things then last week I ran into the term Hypnopompic or Hypnagogic. I read up some on what those two conditions were and I guess I am more Hypnopompic although Hypnagogic does happen on occasion. I guess they give a medical name to everything these days. The trouble is although some of the conditions fit what is happening to me others definately do not. I dont become paralized and can move if I wish, so it isnt related to narcolepsy. Also Im not afraid of what comes into my room and so I jump at the chance. I dont see why not. "Do ya wanna live forever?" or rather "Today is a good day to die." So I have been unafraid. As a result I see it as a gateway. A twilight zone. So I have been using it. They can call it what they want. Hypnopompic, hypnagogic but I dont think they have interviewed very many people where this symptom doesnt frighten them. Is there any of you guys who have this? Do you use it as a launch platform?
Looking for answers
Thanks
Vee
