D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When a person is awakened during stage 1 sleep, a period during which most hypnagogic hallucinations occur, they typically don’t even realize they’ve been asleep. By contrast, REM sleep is the deepest stage of sleep and is fertile ground for intense, more narrative-driven dreams.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypnagogic hallucinations are possible during stage 1 of non-REM as an individual transitions from wakefulness to sleep. Hypnagogic hallucinations are described as dream-like episodes affected by stimuli of the immediate environment (like light and sounds) and by events happening briefly before sleep onset.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypnagogic hallucinations are similar to hypnopompic hallucinations, but they occur as you’re falling asleep. Up to 37% of people experience these nighttime hallucinations. Together, hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations are referred to as hypnagogia. They both likely originate during an early, non-REM sleep stage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples include a sensation of impending threat, feelings of suffocation, and sensations of floating, spinning, or falling.
