C) Subcategories of Hypnagogic Dreams
0)
Hypnagogic dreams, which are dreamed in the moments between being awake and falling asleep, are the most amazing and magical dreams of all. In them one perceives ideas of great beauty and profound wisdom. Incredibly penetrative insights that could change one's life and indeed change the whole world occur during these kind of dreams.
However, because hypnagogic dreams are so fleeting and because one falls asleep immediately after experiencing them, there has been no record in history of any hypnagogic dreams. Thus the set of hypnagogic dreams is an empty set, consisting of zero members.
