Hypnagogia: The Unique State of Consciousness Between Wakefulness and Sleep by Andreas Mavromatis. 1987, Routledge & Kegan Paul. . "This is the only work in English dealing with hypnagogia, the state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. It provides an exhaustive account of hypnagogia, bringing its diverse phenomena into a comprehensive framework. Dr. Mavromatis argues that this common, naturally occurring state may not only be distinct from wakefulness and sleep but unique in its nature and function, possibly carrying important evolutionary implications. He analyzes the relationship between hypnagogia and other states, processes and experiences- such as sleepdreams, meditation, psi, schizophrenia, creativity, hypnosis, hallucinogenic drug-induced states, eidetic phenomena and epileptic states- and shows that, functioning in hypnagogia, a person may gain knowledge of aspects of his or her mental nature which constitute fundamental underpinnings to all adult thought. In addition, functioning in hypnagogia is shown to play a significant part in mental and physical health." . . . . . . #consciousness #hypnagogia #hypnagogic #consciousnessstudies #sleep #dreams #liminal #liminality #liminalstates #meditation #hypnosis #psi #creativity #psychedelic #psychedelics #psychonaut #andreasmavromatis #psychology #philosophy #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookblog #bookcollector #neuroticavintagebooks

"I don’t really destroy things, I just change them, I change their shape, just like any sculptor does. I chose the refrigerator. I stoned it for a week, every day, until I got the shape really changed. I chose it because I wanted to throw stones at something as sculptural work, but I wanted an object that no one would care about. I thought that if I stoned a TV or an automobile, everyone would be glad and care in some way or another, and I thought that a refrigerator was completely neutral. It was, until I started stoning it and then it wasn’t neutral anymore. Then it started being brave, so that in the end I called it Saint Frigo, because it was a martyr. I saved its life by making it a martyr. It was going into the trash, now it’s eternal, now it’s art." Jimmie Durham piece from 1996 #jimmiedurham #work2day
