Topic: Hypnogogic hallucination

	Hallucinations: Encyclopedia of Medicine
		A hallucination occurs when environmental, emotional, or physical factors such as stress, medication, extreme fatigue, or mental illness cause the mechanism within the brain that helps to distinguish conscious perceptions from internal, memory-based perceptions to misfire.
		Hallucinations can also occur in patients who are not mentally ill as a result of stress overload or exhaustion, or may be intentionally induced through the use of drugs, meditation, or sensory deprivation.
		Hallucinations that are symptomatic of a mental illness such as schizophrenia should be treated by a psychologist or psychiatrist.

	The Book Of THoTH - Library - Human Condition - Out-of-Body Experience A Powerful Tool for Self-Research
		But how can we be so sure that what we experience is real, and not a dream or some other altered state of consciousness provoked by any number of things such as fainting, exhaustion, fever, medicines, hormones or drugs?
		For example, applying oneself to the improvement of one's will and memory and to one's capacity for attention and concentration can all contribute to the recollection of the extraphysical experiences.
		As it is easier to provoke an OOBE from some altered states of consciousness than from the ordinary physical waking state, then those interested in producing lucid OOBEs should take advantage whilst experiencing such a condition (if positive or sound) such as: physical tiredness, lucid dreaming, the hypnogogic (alpha) state or deep relaxation.
