He explains that he is using the term hypnagogia to describe explorations of one’s psychic depths including, but not limited to, states associated with sleep and dreaming. He shares a number of his own hypnagogic journeys – starting at the age of five. He discusses the sense of dread that sometimes accompanies these encounters with the unknown within. He also suggests that, while each individual is absolutely unique, there is a universal quality, independent of cultural conditioning, to hypnagogic terrain.
