Hypnopompic hallucinations: Augmenting the terms hypnopompic and hallucinations, we are left with âhypnopompic hallucinationsâ â which can be defined as perceptual experiences with no grounds in reality that occur during the transition between a sleeping state and wakefulness.rain waves: It is thought that brain waves are altered during hypnopompic hallucinations. The brainwave pattern may include a combination of theta waves and/or alpha waves, along with intermittent bursts of beta.

This is also the stage during which parasomnias like night terrors, sleep-walking, sleep-talking and bedwetting occur. Information processing and memory consolidation (particularly of the declarative memory) also takes place during this period, as it also does to some extent during the stage 2 and REM stages.
