Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypnagogic hallucinations occur during the hypnagogia stage of sleep, while nightmares generally occur later in the sleep cycle when a person is fully asleep. Generally, vivid dreams, such as nightmares, occur most commonly during the rapid eye movement (REM) stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stage 1. Stage 1, also called N1, is essentially when a person first falls asleep. This stage normally lasts just one to seven minutes. During N1 sleep, the body has not fully relaxed, though the body and brain activities start to slow with periods of brief movements.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hallucinations While Falling Asleep Experts don’t know exactly what causes them, but they know they aren’t a cause for concern.
