Ever drifted off to sleep and seen strange shapes, lights, or flashes of imagery? That’s hypnagogia—your natural gateway to lucid dreaming.

In this episode, Dr. Clare Johnson explores:

  • What the hypnagogic state is (and why it's so powerful)
  • Dr. Clare shares her 6 stages of hypnagogia—how to spot them and how they feel
  • How to use this pre-sleep state to consciously enter a lucid dream
  • Tips for staying aware without waking yourself up

You'll also hear firsthand descriptions of real hypnagogic experiences and get practical advice for recognizing these strange and amazing pre-dream visuals as they unfold.
