Review of Electric Dreams.

I've been an avid admirer of Electric Dreams for about two years now. Having worked in a Sleep Lab for 2 and a half years, and being interested in the whole area of altered states of consciousness all my life, I looked long and hard at the various "associations" out there on the web and I can tell the first time visitor that ANY question you have, from helping interpret a puzzling dream, comparing dreams with others and discussing similarities/differences, to visiting others while in REM, to even those experiences that fall into the "paranormal" category, you will find your answers here. R. Wilkerson and the rest of the staff and participants in Electric Dreams have no motivation other than helping each other (and you) with understanding this fascinating aspect of our lives more fully.

Greets, I experience "Awareness during sleep", and "Old Hag" (paralyzing nightmares). I wonder if you could give me any info on "Hynogogics"? Thank you, Banshee
Reply from Keith
The word "Hypnogogic" comes from the Greek word meaning "leading into sleep," and occurs right before sleep onset. During REM sleep or when you are dreaming, the body becomes temporarily paralyzed to prevent movement.
Sometimes a person can awake, and the paralysis continues. This "sleep paralysis" can be frightening, and the person can experience things like "attacks from spirits," "UFO abductions," "vibrations," and other strange feelings.

Hi Richard,
A while ago you had sent me an email asking me where my online webzine column "Sea Of Dreams" was located. A couple weeks ago, my editor/publisher asked me to return again, and this time I decided to return and we are also offering a contest for people to submit their dream entries to win a free dream interpretation. I thought you might enjoy the update.
