Relating to the state immediately after waking up; the transitional period between sleep and full wakefulness, sometimes with lingering dream imagery.
From Greek 'hypnos' (sleep) + 'pompe' (sending away). The exit from sleep. Those moments where you're awake but the dream is still playing — reality and fantasy overlapping.
The OPPOSITE of hypnagogic! That groggy moment when you're awake but the dream is still playing like a movie you can't turn off! Sometimes you see things that aren't there. Your brain takes a moment to switch channels! 📺😵
