- Anyone interested in this subject might want to take a look at the book
- _Hypnagogia: The Unique State of Consciousness Bewteen Wakefulness and
- Sleep_ by Andreas Mavromatis, who, at the time of writing, was working
- on a PhD at Brunel University in England. The book, which is quite well
- researched, it appears, was published by Routledge and Kegan Paul, Ltd.
- (1987). ISBN 0-415-05794-9. It discusses both hypnagogic (pre-sleep)
- and hypnopompic (post-sleep) imagery, and their possible relationship
- with other state of consciousness and creativity, as well as their
- possible function. The book contains numerous illustrations and is
- quite worthwhile, in my estimation.
-
- I myself had quite vivid and regular hypnagogic images as a child just
- prior to the onset of sleep, but have only rarely experienced them in
- recent years. (If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful; maybe
- I should go back and read the book more carefully for ideas. :-)

-
- I'd like to mention that there is now a newsgroup called "alt.out-of-body,"
- which deals exclusively with out of body experiences. Anyone interested
- in that subject might want to check it out. If your news system doesn't
- pick up that newsgroup, please drop me a note asking to be added to the
- parallel mailing list (I've also set up a special address for mailing list
- folks to post to the newsgroup). If you do write, please mention the out-
- of-body mailing list, since I also operate lists on other subjects. Thanks.
