The hypnagogic state : how to reach it.

The hypnagogic state is a state where we naturally go into before sleeping, a sweet spot moment before sleeping and still being awake, a state where it is so powerful to be able to shift, get in the void, or basically do anything.

Now it requires NOTHING, it only requires one small thing that might sound tricky.

Staying awake long enough for it to come by on it's own, and actually on average it takes 10-5 mins from each person to enter it aware.

The steps:

Lay flat on your back (not needed, but many results come from laying on the back)

Do. Not. Care, just go with what you usually do to fall asleep, but one thing? You're not falling asleep, you're watching your body fall asleep, that sweet spot where your body is about to fall asleep? That's hypnagogia

Actually don't move, it may give your mind signs you're still not sleeping, now just lay there and try not to sleep while focusing on the blackness behind your eyelids.

You will start seeing flashing images or swirly things or even just flashing lights and imagery, this is the hypnagogia and you managed to reach it in just 10 mins of pretending to be asleep (acc it takes me 4)

Bam, that's the sweet spot, now affirm slowly for the void, or just sense your surroundings for shifting or maybe you can try your shifting method here! This state cannot argue back, you'll be immediately shifting in no time, and slipping in the void is so easy from it.

So really the whole steps is just "lay down, don't move, watch your eyelids, color seen? Hypnagogia reached, method or void procedure done, bam."

I managed to find a post on Reddit on how to keep your body awake, you can try 2 or 3 of them to keep yourself entertained, FULL CREDITS TO THE ONE WHO POSTED IT ON REDDIT (calaie_iscoolio):

"1. Looking in the darkness behind your eyelids

Basically what it says, when you close your eyes, just focus on the darkness until hypnagogic imagery begins to happen i.e. colors, shapes, literally anything that will show. When images begin to show up, do not interact or acknowledge what you are seeing, you can look at it, but don't try to control it and just let the images flow until you feel that the state is induced enough to where it won't disappear because you are "too" awake/aware.

2. "Forearm Up" Method

Another technique that basically helps with people who tend to fall asleep to quickly, basically lay down on your back like usual, lift your hand up in the air where your elbow is resting on your mattress, keep it there and as it slowly falls down that's where you'll begin to fall asleep, it'll drop and basically awake you back up.

I had also seen a shifter mention that they prefer to lay on their stomach and lifting their foot up in the air and basically do the same thing. This technique basically just wakes you back up.

3. Thomas Edison Method

Very similar to the "Forearm Up" Method, basically what Edison had done was he had held a steel ball in his hand, and when he began to fall asleep, the ball will drop and alert Edison awake, another technique to help with people to struggle to stay awake.

4. Imagine Constant Motion

Basically imagining something whether that be an animal or an object constantly moving like a horse galloping, a dogs tail wagging side to side, etc. (Pretty simple, for people who find it much easier to visualize).

5. Tire your body through out the day

During the day, you could do any tasks that would just tire your body out that leads up to your attempt to induce the state, it'll make it much easier for you to get into the state and induce it since your body is already tired enough to relax.

6. Repeating "hypnagogia"

This will mean you have you just repeat the words "hypnagogia" to yourself till you get tired enough and then hypnagogic imagery will eventually appear.

7. Counting

Basically just like regular shifting methods, you could focus on counting up to how much you want to until you begin to get the hypnagogic hallucinations, to keep yourself from falling asleep you could give yourself simple math questions just so it's enough to focus to answer it.

8. Imagining Randomness

Imagine literally anything that isn't related at all, i.e. horse, roof, apple, pen, desk, etc. Visualize and filter through random objects or animals that have no correlation and that will induce the hypnagogic imagery, randomness is key.

9. Focus on breathing

Similar to any shifting method, basically focusing on your breaths is another technique to induce the state. Literally just anything to keep your awareness occupied rather than letting your mind just shut down to go to sleep.

10. Sounds

Listening to anything in your environment, whether that be things happening outside, if it's raining listen to the rain, or if you've got headphones on listen to the music and focus that, keep your focus on the music so you don't fall asleep.

11. "Playing" a song in your head

Not necessarily listening to the song, but imagining the song playing in your head, whether that be your favorite song, if you know how it sounds like, imagine it playing and once you've entered the state, it will naturally play and you'll end up actually hearing the song.

12. Heartbeat

Basically just focus on your heartbeat. Listen to the amount of beats.

These are all the various of techniques you could use, you don't have to stick to one and can basicaally try them out, see which one you feel like works for you and go from there. A tip is also you could pick like 4 or 5 out of these 12 and just filter through the techniques if you can't just stick to one since you get uninterested quickly. (I get bored easily, do I normally do 8, 9, 7 and 4 just so I don't lose interest.)"

Good luck y'all!

me scripting that orgasms are even better in my other realities

Anyways uh. I’m bored, I need enrichment, send me headcannon requests for look outside 🙏🙏

I’ll do literally anything, characters, relationships, situations, previous headcannons you want elaboration on, sfw AND nsfw, whatever, I’ll do it. For free btw I’m doing this for the love of the game

Send as many as you want lmao. Just limit it to my ask box so I can organize it more easily and I’ll get started on it teehee

This man is twisted, sick.

Au where Phillippe is still a fungus monster but like. He witnesses Sam do some weird shit like pick up raw suspicious meat off the floor to eat and decides to stay and keep up the charade to see what that’s all about

Jeanne, for the Look Outside headcanons?

Ohhh the skrungle!! The tormented silly!!!

- I actually really appreciate the way her body’s started resembling that of a flatworms. She probably doesn’t, but I think she’s actually really cute post mutation. Minus the part where she’s backseat in her own body

- I think she’d appreciate being misted or in a damp space. Started getting dry skin more easily after mutation and the moment she was within a few feet of a humidifier nearly cried in relief

- Starts hating the taste of meat after mutating, reminds her too much of what the victims of her other heads tasted like.

- Her mouth runs all the way down her long ass body, she loses taste once it gets past her eyes. Unconsciously nibbles at the floor. Bottomfeeds even. Like, if she moved I feel like the space that was under her previously would be clean af. Subconsciously having a little snack (dirt)

- she’d probably feel like a worm does, ridged, soft, her frills (?) on the side would probably be firmer than the rest of her skin.

- Capable of sleeping sitting up, did nothing but sleep the first few days because her new heads were taking up most of the body’s energy and she also just wanted an ‘out’ from reality in general

- Clumsy at first, kept knocking things in her apartment over as she got used to her new size/features. Pretty used to it now and has excellent control of herself (minus any extra heads)

- I feel like she and Sam exchanged numbers, like sort of a ‘hey lmao, thanks for helping me, mind giving me your number in case my body decides to get homicidal again?’

- Attempted to fight with her other heads, quickly gave up because the attacked head and others close by turned on her instead of whoever they dragged in. The only reason they didn’t kill her was because she fled fairly quickly, they liked her distress, and I’m pretty sure they need her to continue living

- Her bloods blueish in color

Lyle blinked. Terror rushed through him, even if he had excuses primed and ready. His mouth opened, half-shocked and half-prepared, but nothing came out.

The door just… opened when his hand hit it. Nobody answered. Cautiously, Lyle pushed the door further open and peered into Sam’s apartment.

Dark. Quiet. Lyle let himself in. He unwound his key from around his wrist and tucked it further into his robes, safely out of sight. He felt too loud for the space. He clicked and didn’t stop, though now more out of unease than eagerness. Why would Sam leave his door unlocked? He’d never done that before. It was extremely unlike him. Which meant something was wrong. Sam wasn’t great with routines, but he’d never once left his door unlocked, let alone not even fully shut.

The animatic is done!! 💕

mr house, over a month after the courier got shot: i know they’re still alive, what the hell are they doing out there?

the courier, in a rusty shack, hunched over a pile of bent tin cans and gunpowder:

My favorite geadcanon for Zer0 is that they're just an empty power suit, a long abandoned project from an Atlas era long gone. They gained sentience one day and erased everything on their existence, killed their creators and set off to find a purpose of their own. There is absolutely Nothing in there, the conscience is spread out through the body. You look through their helmet's darkly tinted glass dome and you see what seems to be their brain staring back at you. Their posture is stiff and calculated, you'd think them to be unbreakable, but aometimes it takes a little longer to get up because the joints that were built with Humans being able to help themselves up, and they aren't as strong when it's just the suit on its own. There's no way to open Zer0 and even if there was, you would never be able to see it. There aren't any records of Zer0 before they were Zer0 because they were never meant to be their own individual. This is not a transgender metaphor you know what but it could very well be.
