English

Subject field(s)
  • Neuroses
DEF

Hypnogenous; relating to hypnogenesis; causing sleep or the hypnotic state.

CONT

In accepting the concept that sleep is an actively induced state we implicitly accept that the functional changes which distinguish sleep from wakefulness are the result of activity in a controlling apparatus which produces sleep in response to one or several "hypnogenic stimuli."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Névroses
DEF

Qui se produit au moment de l'endormissement (se dit surtout d'illusions visuelles, ou d'images hallucinatoires).

CONT

Les hallucinations hypnagogiques sont dites du "demi-sommeil." Elles ont une apparence de discontinuité, même si des expériences sensorielles itératives semblent s'imposer au sujet passif et on les oppose souvent aux rêves dans lesquels l'individu peut lui-même participer activement à une aventure.
