Hypnagogia
Hypnagogia is that brief state between consciousness and sleep where the mind and spirit go to prepare for their journey into the Underworld. It is a feeling of total relaxation, a moment of perfection after a long night of struggle and before the inevitable horrors of daylight slumber.
The Usiri use this Discipline to take memories for “safekeeping,” add memories for “client pliability,” create a place of bliss where the Beast cannot enter, convince the sleeper that they are friendly guides who have come to protect and help him, or, in extreme cases, brutally attack and erase whatever memories they uncover.
Hypnagogia can be a tool for bringing calm to allies, gathering information or, ultimately, as a weapon to destroy an enemy.
Using this Discipline requires that the Usiri is within (Blood Potency in yards x 10) of a sleeping or torpid vampire. While using Hypnagogia, the Usiri is, to all scrutiny, asleep. If someone tries to rouse her, she responds as described on p. 184 of Vampire: The Requiem).
