#hypnagogia

I’m not sure how to start this, but last night I was basically doing a meditation to accept I am pure awareness so I can relax into the void or however one would word it.

I literally let go of the outcome and after a while I got super sleepy. I entered the hypnagogic state (aka sats) and I was too tired so I said a couple of affirmations like “I have all the books in my wish list, I have yummy food and I always wake up in the void at night” then hit the snooze button.

I wake up see a big stack of books in my room and I’m like… did my sister leave it here? Because she often puts her books on my shelf. Then an hour later a get some yummy food! I know the 3rd one is already true because we are all naturally the void. Anyway, I didn’t even realise I succeeded until 4 hours after waking up!! 😭

These books were definitely on my wish list but I have another I want to manifest too!

PS: ignore my cat, she wanted to be in the picture 🙄

It occured to me many times, and whenever I wake up from a dream but needed more sleep this is the part where my mini shifts occur (i just started shifting this week) i went through about the hypnagogia blogs here and that explains the phenomenon that is happening to me.

for people having trouble inducing it heres the easy steps:

(this has worked in MY experience as someone who has trouble falling asleep at 5am)

1. before you sleep set an alarm 2-4 hours from now (depends each person) since you have to be tired

2. sleep, just affirm a little but just effortlessly sleep

3. WAKE UP FROM THAT ALARM AND TURN IT OFF

4. you will gonna feel so tired bc the lack of sleep and the need to sleep more !!!!! by that, ITS EASIER to start inducing the hypnagogia state, keep your mind a wake a little using any method, now start to feel your dr, affirm, manifest, think how would you think if you are in ur dr rn, activate/check your 5 senses, visualize (dont overdo your imagination because some people get pulled out) just feel your dr and it will start to assume you are in it, this is the state that some guided meditations wants you to feel.

5. enter the void or your dr, just by affirming (in this case you can just drift completely which worked for me waking up in my dr, just let it happen until you reach it)

if you fell asleep during step 4 just naturally wake up and try again!

DO NOT RUSH STEP 4 it takes a while for some people ( some users mentioned listening to theta waves help )

edit: I found a post similar to this method, and it has more steps and i suggest to consider it too! HERE

also symptoms include random hallucinations and it can be physical, i felt my body falling or floating during step 4, even hearing crowds and seeing figures but just affirm and manifest act like you are in ur dr. this helps to shift awareness

pls update me in the replies if this works for you or it works for most beginners especially to those who can only shift thru lucid dreaming.

(This is for the anon who asked me :)

Hypnagogia is during or before sleep onset, there’s a weird liminal state that almost all of us can relate to called hypnagogia. It’s when we are still basically awake, but dreamlike thoughts and hallucinations begin to creep into our conscious experience.

The symptoms that most shifters describe are not symptoms of shifting but rather that of the hypnagogic state. These include the feeling of floating or falling, buzzing or tingling sensations, noises and twitching. These symptoms are your mind sending signals to your body to see if it’s awake.

You can get to the hypnagogic state by lying down in the position that you would sleep in and try your hardest to stay sharp and keep your mind awake while your body goes to sleep. You can do this by counting or twitching your fingers slightly when you feel like you’re drifting off. Once you feel the symptoms you know that you’ve reached the hypnagogic state.

Once you’re in this state you can do multiple things like shift, lucid dream or manifest. During this time you feel detached from your body which can help you use loa and affirmations to shift. If you want to lucid dream you don’t need to do anything but stay alert until you start dreaming and you’ll automatically enter the dream lucid.

The updated demo for Hypnagogia 壊れた夢 Broken Dreams is live on Steam... and you can play it right now!

Preview new prototype cinematics and lore!

Explore an ethereal cavern and a huge rat city world!

Shred down a snowy mountain in a new snowboarding minigame!

Just like in Boundless Dreams, one of the biggest things Broken Dreams is bringing back are the stylized cinematics, and they'll be in full force. There'll be TWICE as many as before in the final game, and they'll be TWICE as juicy~

I've been pushing myself to the limit setting up the framework for what I think will be my best game yet, and I plan on pouring as much energy into this project as I can, so it would mean the world if you considered wishlisting 💎🐇

i say this with love but... stop doing so much.

when people say shifting is innate, it's something everyone has the ability to do, it's something we do in every moment, that it's inevitable and effortless, etc, do you think all of that is just talk? do you think all of that is just pretty, motivational affirmations we say to build confidence and belief? i mean, i definitely was like that. i think a lot of people are. and it’s understandable, especially when it’s been so long for some of you. i get it.

but right now, there's a painful over-reliance in the community on things and techniques to maintain connection with shifting and your drs, instead of on yourself. a lot of you have made shifting more about preparing to do it or like it's a daydream you fantasize about and use to escape reality instead of focusing on actually being in your freaking dr.

if that sounds like you, this might be something you need to hear, with love as always because i love you and i just want you to realize that you don't need to wait anymore.

there are too many people who are too reliant on things like c.ai, chatgpt, tarot readings, channeling drs, over-scripting, subliminals, etc instead of just doing the thing. i'm not saying this to villainize these things, or to judge you. i say this because it's frustrating to see you guys settle for these things when you could be in your very real dr in this moment instead.

and if you just responded to that in your mind saying "well obviously if i could be in my dr right now i wouldn't be using these things", then that right there is your problem.

shifting is always accessible to you. that's the plain truth. you need to stand up and accept that. stop looking for alternatives. stop accepting the identity of waiting, wishing, trying, failing. just decide. right now. you are in your dr. not tonight. not after you get through the perfect attempt. not after every problem in your life gets resolved. not in divine timing. right. now.

so you try one night and don't wake up in your dr. okay. you still shifted. you did. you intended it, so it happened. there's no other way. you can never fail. stop accepting failure.

and when i say “just go do it” i don't mean put in more effort. you don't need to do more. you don't need to put in more intention. you've intended enough. god, at this point you've intended enough for fifteen lifetimes. you don't need to try more methods. you don't need to stay perfectly still, or stay awake, or fall asleep, or stay on your back, or have a perfectly clear mind, or reach the void state, or hypnagogia, or lucid dream, or script more, or learn more, or heal, or ANYTHING. you just need to let go and trust.

i have a post on letting go if you want to understand that further here.

but point is, you are in your dr, right now. its done. accept that. stop settling for less. its 2026. its time you stop waiting and just start living. no more lack.

i love you so so so much,

Hello to all fellow shifting pookies! ✨

I’ve been less active here for a while, but I’ve been very much active in my lucid dream practice, shifting journey. I am experimenting a lot with hypnagogia and lucid dreams trying to figure out what works the best for me when it comes to shifting.

Lately I am testing a method inside a lucid dream that I mini shifted with a few times already. I decided to share!

I wrote many posts about “How to induce a lucid dream and get them more often” etc. So I won’t focus on that part here. You can easily search those on my blog ❤️

Let’s focus on the method inside the lucid dream here.

If you’re familiar with lucid dream shifting methods, you probably know that many people struggle with:

• Ending up in random dream spaces instead of their DR

• Having trouble creating portals

• Feeling pressure when trying to jump straight to their DR

So this method is something I’ve heard about before and then adjusted to my own needs.

I call it “low pressure” because jumping straight from a lucid dream into your DR can create tension, expectations, and doubt.

Instead of going directly to your DR, focus first on entering your DR self’s dream.

Inside the lucid dream, explain to yourself how easy this will be, because switching between dream spaces is already something your mind does naturally. There’s no pressure yet to fully shift. You’re just switching dreams.

You can either:

• Intentionally create a dream your DR self might be having

• Or simply go with the flow and see what forms

What I like to do is lie down inside my lucid dream, close my eyes, and gently affirm. I imagine that my DR self is dreaming of a soft meadow. I touch the grass under my fingertips, feel the warmth of the sun on my face, and let the imagery build naturally.

You don’t need to visualize intensely. Just gently bring the image in or affirm softly.

Important:

Don’t force your eyes open. Let them open naturally in the new dream space, or wait until you feel fully grounded and certain that the dream space has shifted. If you open your eyes too soon, you’ll go somewhere random or wake up.

Once you’re in this new dream, persist that you’re in your DR, just sleeping. This is your DR self’s dream. Sit with it. Touch things. Affirm calmly. Feel where you’re about to wake up.

Then, when you feel ready, decide to wake up in your DR.

You can:

• Lie down again and affirm

• Close your eyes and imagine where you’ll wake up

• Or simply assume it will happen

These are just few options, it’s flexible. Try different variations and see what feels most natural for you.

The key is reducing pressure and letting your mind move gradually instead of forcing a jump.

Good luck!
