Hypnogogic and hypnopompic dream states? I accidentally conditioned myself to immediately enter REM sleep due to years of insomnia. So I skip the pre-REM stages of sleep, and go right into dreaming. I actually start dreaming before I fall asleep. When in that state, I can tell I'm dreaming, and that I am not asleep, and it always feels wrong. When I do fall asleep, I can tell somehow, and I notice the transition. I am lucid during the hypnogogic state, bu tI loose insight and lucidity when I do fall asleep, and the dream no longer feels wrong. When I start to wake up, I am usually still dreaming, and that hypnopompic state also feels wrong. A few days ago, while hypnogogic I noticed that Thor was trying to kill me. It was weird and felt wrong, because I was lucid. I eventually fell all the way asleep and lost lucidity, and suddenly I was really angry that Thor was attacking me unprovoked. His hammer was huge, like the size of a VW Bug and he kept throwing it at me. I easily dodged it every time, and used some trigonometry to bank my own magical hammer (which I had for some reason) off some walls and into his stupid face. I wanted to find his giant hammer, so I could smash his corpse to a fine red mist, but I could not find it. The phase changed at that point, and I don't remember the rest til I woke up. I woke up still angry, and looked around my bed for a giant magical hammer.
