dream log: mostly mundane, like i was slacking at home, just in a dseam. o3ten notice a spinnimg rushing sensation as i fall aslefp. last night this was to quake scenery.
Hahah - I'd try to blame my lame texting ability on the bus or the early hour, but I'd be lying! I had a neat half-dream about running around Quake, but accompanied to the soundtrack from Spirited Away.
It's quite a subtle, quiet soundtrack, which I like. I seem to spend a lot of time half-dreaming at the moment, where I'm very lightly asleep, but all these images are rushing in front of my eyes, so it might be that the soundtrack was still playing in the background as I fell asleep.
The hypnagogic state is a state of transition in semiconsciousness between being awake and being asleep. Some experience visual and/or auditory hallucinations. ~http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogic_state
Is this half-dreaming occuring as you fall asleep or in the middle of the night?
As I fall asleep (thanks for the link!). It is very much like tripping, when you close your eyes and you don't actually get hallucinations as such, but you do get battered with a procession of images. Except in this (let's call it) hypnagogic state, it's generally me moving rather than the images.
It's probably hypnagogic imagery, but you experience it very differently than I. For me it's a procession of images as you say, like closed-eye visuals while tripping. What you experience sounds really neat, in comparison!
Heh - blame a tripped-out childhood and slightly damaged inner ears :) Together they make it very easy to imagine that it's me that's still and everything else that's moving - I get something similar to vertigo with fast moving water.
And yeah - it is quite cool. Reminds me of this little film they used to show on TV loads when I was a kid, where they travel round the coast of Britain in like, two minutes or something. I read a book about it later (but not travelling in two minutes!), so I suppose it got reinforced somehow.

I don't remember any songs from that movie, only seen it 2-3 times. Is the soundtrack good?
