Hey, I get some weird happenings when I wake up during a dream, usually when I have less sleep than usual, like 5 hours or so. I get sound effects in my brain, such as this morning I heard an anvil from minecraft. I've also heard a voice tell me IT ANGERS ME and I've heard a conversation between two distinct personalities but forgot anything they said after fully waking up a little while after, It's more often just sound effects, some 'mornings' (I have weird hours) I can get like 5-10 different sound effects going off. All of this happens while I'm dozing / sleeping in. Mostly awake but kind of drifting back to sleep. It's very enjoyable. One time I woke up and believed that my parents were dead and rotting in their bedroom and I felt the most intense feeling of loneliness and desolation, I couldn't even believe it's possible to feel an emotion so strongly. I can sometimes feel like I'm in a different world when I wake up too, kind of like im a child again and I feel like exploring the world, and everyone and everything seems alien to me. Other whys my mental is perfectly healthy

the auditory allucinations you heard are hypnagogia, the bridge between sleep and wakefulness, what you descibed sounds like a natural deild setup, next time you experience that close your eyes and and go through the hypnagogia, a ld will start
good luck with your ld adventures dayo

I think of it like this. When you are awake your consciousness is hooked up to the normal 'reality feed'. 'You' as in your consciousness is getting inputs from your body senses which is how you interact with the material world. When you 'fall asleep' your consciousness stops receiving inputs from the 'reality feed' and switches over to the 'dream feed' where your consciousness is receiving inputs from your 'dream body' instead of your 'material body'. The thing is you don't exactly have control over where your dream body is and the inputs you are receiving like you do with your material body. You can understand where the messaging that you are receiving comes from in an awake state, but the 'dream feed' is like starting to watch a random web cam live feed instead of being aware of what is going on right in front of your eyes. One of the easiest ways to experience this is when you are reading while you are tired. As you read you essentially 'fall asleep' when your consciousness is no longer comprehending the words on the page that you are reading. Your consciousness continues to think in a manner that is similar to how you were comprehending the words that your eyes were looking at a moment ago, but the thoughts that your consciousness continues to process are no longer about what you are reading. Then you snap out of it and are awake again. You know that you were thinking deeply about stuff a moment ago, but you can't remember exactly what you were just thinking about. You just switched over from the reality feed to the dream feed and then back again.

I haven't actually looked up what the official definition 'hypnagogia' is, but my definition is when you are receiving inputs from you dream feed while your consciousness is still in an awake state. This can be sounds, visuals, and thought streams. While you are falling asleep or waking up you can tune yourself into these inputs while your consciousness is 'awake'. When you are laying down with your eyes closed you can notice that you are either staring at the back of your eyelids or you are not. If you close your eyes briefly while awake you are staring at the back of your eyelids. If you keep your eyes closed eventually your consciousness will shut off the input feed from your eyeballs and you will stop being aware of the blackness of the back of your eyelids and instead be aware of your thoughts. Then you can 'snap back' and begin looking at the back of your eyelids again. If you are aware enough you can think 'what was I looking at a moment ago if I am looking at the back of my eyelids now and I wasn't a moment ago'. While lying there with your eyes closed before falling asleep you can try to stay aware of your thoughts and see if you can notice when they switch from the awake feed and the dream feed. You can also be aware of visuals like patterns or pulsating colored light areas that start up if you keep staring at the back of your eyelids instead of switching the input off. I call this the primordial dream soup. If you can maintain awareness you can eventually recognize the visual dream feed arising from the primordial dream soup.

If you are new to this what will happen is your material body eyes will move to look at the dream feed and then it will quickly disappear because your body will recognize that you aren't actually asleep yet and turn the feed off. If you can let the dream feed imagery arise from the primordial dream soup without trying to look at it with you material eyes the dream feed will 'harden' and voila you have just consciously entered into a lucid dream. I have been most successful with this during the morning hours when the sun is up. When the visual primordial dream soup starts you are in a 'ready to dream' state. The dream feed arising from the primordial dream soup kind of looks like video glitching like pic related. It seems like your eyes adjust their focus to bring up the new visual feed, but it's really that you start looking out of your dream body eyes instead of your material body eyes.
