Hypnagogia is the experience of transitioning from wakefulness to sleep. During this state, one usually experiences visual, auditory or tactile hallucinations, or sleep paralysis. Usually, one has lost consciousness before entering this state, but it is also part of some induction techniques (WILD). It mainly happens during stage 1 of NREM sleep, and before the onset of sleep.
