I remember well the dream I had just before I woke up, but as soon as I wake up, the self I was living in the dream turns into the protagonist of the story of the dream. However, until then, there is a slight moment when the dream self and the real self are alive at the same time. The consciousness of the two selves, diving between darkness and light, push together to create a tangential plane, where the dream world and the real world are projected onto a vague, fragmented image. Hypnopompic hallucinations arise from this as an intersection between dream and reality.
