Are there ever good Hynogogic Hallucinations?

moved from beyond dreaming :moogle:

Whenever I hear about them, they’re always negative.
But has anyone ever had one and they hallucinated about something happy…and not scary?

oh yeah totally when i get HI or HH before i go to sleep they are never negative.

Although i don’t think they have ever made me happy

They are usually just either random stuff going on or just normal situations (aka the deepest stage before i fall asleep)

wellllll… not NORMAL situations (are there EVER normal situations in dreams? :lol:), but as far as mood goes, always neutral

I’ve gotten some pretty bad HH but I’ve also gotten some really nice HH too. Things like beautiful landscapes to beautiful music (that I try to remember for the morning. :smile:)

I once had Hypnagogic Sounds hearing flute music ^^

Mine are usually random conversations, which stop if I pay too much attention. I think only once they’d been scary/bad. Maybe you think or live around bad stuff and you get bad HI?

Most of what I get is mixed fragments of stuff I’ve recently seen/heard. Most of the time I can hear familiars talking.

I once got HH that tasted like chocolate. So they can’t be all bad, right? :wink:

I’ve never had bad HH. But then since most of mine are sounds/music I guess it would be hard to have a bad experience.

I get them only when trying to stay awake while watching a movie or reading a book, for some reason. They usually aren’t bad at all, my mind just wanders further and further into them until I invariably regain consciousness minutes later. (the heavy confusion afterwards is unpleasant, though)

That’s what I experienced just yesterday. Well, at least I guess it was hypnagogic, I could hear the music at the end of my dream and during the process of waking up, and it seemed very realistic.

I usually hear bees buzzing , waterfalls, ambient music, with voices in the background.

Today I heard an HH of someone playing a wooden flute terribly. It was kind of funny…

Usually I just see ‘splashes’ of color , especially green and purple, not a bad thing though. I also get floral scents a lot too.

Scary things are easier to remember and more fun to tell people about. That’s probably why you hear the negative things about them.

I’ll tell ya, hypnogogic music is really good. I get a treat like that every once in a while. Last time it was the first part of Sally’s song from the nightmare before christmas, I actually didn’t realise it wasn’t real until it stopped. I have come to realise that the words were probably wrong, but they sounded perfect.

Once i had HH that was somewhat frightening, because it was somewhat scarily loud dark music. Most of the time my HH are always auditory, never that much visuals. Also generally are not negative or frightening, but sometimes the sounds just increase in volume very suddenly and it can startle me and wake me back up.

Usually I just see little blips of light. Those aren’t scary; they can actually be pretty sometimes.

I have, however, had a couple of frightening experiences. Once I was trying to WILD and all of a sudden I heard this horrible, loud buzzing noise, almost as if a million giant mosquitoes had entered my room and were flying around me. It was scary, but I was okay after I realized it was just HH.

My HI aren’t bad o_o; They’re usually fragments of conversations, mostly with voices from people I know, and I tend to have all lights and drawings which make no sense at all. Sometimes I actually see the conversation I’m hearing, or pictures related to them.

Really, I don’t think I’ve ever had “bad” HI…
