How to know when in the hypnagogic state?
I have read that you must enter the hypnagogic state, this border between sleep and wakefulness, to successfully astral project, but I can never know when I am or am not in that state. Is there are tell tale sign that you are in the hypnagogic state?

Possibly strange sounds such as growling and/or a feeling like vibrating energy all over your body are tell tale signs.

Yeah, my impression is that you're not in the hypnagogic state unless/until you notice strange sounds, sites, visions. It's purpose is to try to pull you back into consciousness and to not allow your body to go to sleep without your mind also going to sleep. So, it tries to trick you into reacting, waking up.
The hard part once you get to that state is not reacting when you get there-staying in the mind awake/body asleep state. That can be difficult because the sounds can be tricky--footsteps or sounds you might hear like a pet, that makes you think they need attention.

But you do go into it every time you retire to sleep. Contemplate it. Try to replicate it when you're sitting or lying comfortably, totally relaxed, eyes closed without strain, all (I mean ALL) the muscles of your face relaxed, and feeling as if any moment you're going to drop off to sleep and enter the dream world.

This morning I knew I was in the hypnagogic state. I heard a drumming sound. I concentrated on it and the sound got louder. I thought I know I can ap so I did. I got straight out of my body. I went through the house and out the door. It was fun.
