      middle zone between wake and dream

      Hello,I know that many people here would consider themselves experts on the dream state, but I was wondering if anyone has given any thought or study to the state between waking and dreaming, and if so what have you observed? I have found some things that I feel are very strange about the state between waking and a WILD. Such as it seems as if I have a body, yet when I attempt to look around in my environment- there is nothing. It almost seems as if this state is sort of a boot mechanism for dreams. Another strange occurance is that I always have the sense of moving at a great speed, and sometimes feel as if I can control this. However, I cannot see my surroundings as in a lucid dream. Another thing I have noticed is that I do not "fade" into a WILD from this state. There seems to be a period of complete unconciousness in between this state and the WILD state. Anybody else had similar experiences, or more detailed observations?
      LD's = 84
      WILD's = 22

      None to report but I'm interested in the process and I'd love to hear what other people think! Sleep and dreams appear to be a gradient scale rather than a binary system and I think it's kind of funny that all this attention is payed to the black and white while the in-between greys are all but ignored.

      I've noticed that in hypnagogia, the images are very different in dreams in that they are still and lack great detail such as scenery, plot and characters. We often enter hypnagogia in our home and rarely leave it, so I think this indicates that our brains are struggling to find the most basic imagery (our bedroom) since we aren't "supposed"to be dreaming.
