Patrik,
I'm a new member here, but with some experience in these states, trance,ad oobe. A couple thoughts come to mind.
First a question; what is your interest in the hypnagogic phase? Perhaps there is something there that you seek that your unconscious is already taking you toin a different way. One of the most basic functions of consciousness that I've seen in intuition and remote viewing training is that once you have an intent and expess it, your unconscious, and through that, your higher conscious, will respond in some way. We only have to be open and receptive to what manifests. Of course this may not be what we expect. That's why I ask, what is your intent? Making that clearer may illuminate what your results have already been. If you feel frustration, then be with it. It is your process as it's happening. If there is a feeling that is driving your interest, then making that more conscious and being with it may help clear things up. In a way I feel its about learning to trust the unconscious, that it will take us right into whatever we need to experience. We have intentions, let them go, then allow the experience to unfold.
I don't know if that helps or not.
Also, have you read Mavromatis' book, 'Hypnagogia'? It's by far the best and most thorough study of this phenomena that I've seen. It is out of print but can be attained through inter-library loan.
warm regards - research
