According to the Maharishi, there are seven states of consciousness in humans. There is waking, sleeping and dreaming. Hypnagogia is an altered state of consciousness, referred to as "hypnagogic hallucinations". It is the experience of the transitional state between wakefulness and sleep, during the onset of sleep. Mental phenomena that occur during this “threshold consciousness” phase include lucid thought, lucid dreaming, hallucinations, and sometimes sleep paralysis. It is common in this state to experience involuntary and imagined experiences. YMMV.

"In a way, dreaming is the ultimate mental masturbation - it's all about YOU."
