📚 Hypnopompic, adjective. 🔉 /ˌhɪpnə(ʊ)ˈpɒmpɪk/ 🇬🇧 ❓ Definition (Psychology): Relating to the state immediately preceding waking up. ❗️ Examples: 1. Also the state in-between sleeping and waking is NOT the hypnagogic state but the hypnopompic state. 2. The level I am talking about is also hypnagogic & hypnopompic, because sleep brings on the same feeling of hypnosis. 3. Sleep paralysis occurs in the hypnagogic state or the hypnopompic state. 4. The most likely explanation for alien abductions is sleep paralysis and hypnopompic (on awakening) hallucinations. 5. There's a raw, hypnopompic quality to the spot: it has the sweaty, blurry feel of a nightmare. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌀 @cambridge_dic
