Hallucinations, or something...

This really isnt a question or anything, well it could be but I really dont care :wink:
I just thought it would be an interesting story to share… maybe…

In other words = NO point to posting this other than to share the strange experiances, i experiance :wink:

When I lose to much sleep I hallucinate, not really hallucinate, its more like sleepwalking… mom told me I hallucinated so thats what i call it. Of course I have no idea because I cant recall many of my hallucinations, and im glad i cant because apparently I was in a scary state of mind or something… at least this is what my family and friends tell me. I have no idea… actualy I do s little bit, I have woken up wile hallucinating… and It is scary as hell… It feels like i am going crazy and i cant remember much of anything, but it seems like I cant control my thoughts or someting like that. To people watching me it is sometimes humerous, not to me but to people observing me its a “hoot” because I shiver and make funny noises… eh
I gurgle or something… I dont remember shivering or making gurgling noises, but i remember the feeling i get from it and its frightening. Any way, the last time i remember “waking up”, was last week, I was crawling upstairs, of course i dont remember what happened after that. I do recall going to the kitchen and something… then turns out i wake up on the couch… eh… wierd. The stories ive heard was me waking up screaming, pinching myself because I believe there are bugs on me, walking around the house, and screaming at the mirror :wink:
some of these I remember as dreams. I also heard that I woke up once saying that someone had broken in… and I made my mom and dad go check the house. before or after the hallucination and having them check the house, I remember standing in the laundry room facing the door and the lights on, and I was waiting for something/someone… that one, scared the F— out of me, it was the first ever sleepwalking incident ive remembered small parts to… (ok im getting creeped out, my computer is next to a window and im always worried someone is watching me… eh) These dont happen as much now im older but the thought of me walking around the house doing things and seeing things is really creepy, what if i went outside? and woke up the next day in a tree, or some ther wierd place…(im just kidding i dont think i would make it out of my house without waking up… :wink: ) I seem to always return to my bed though… or the couch

anyway I just felt like sharing this, because I felt a need too… maybe you can comment or, something, share experiances that are crazy… EH

Let me see if i understood your experiences, you suffer from sleepwalking and you see “things” while sleepwalking and your family tells you that you’re hallucinating?

that’s wierd!
after 48hours of being awake i started hypnagogic imagery with my eyes open, that’s the wierdest happened to me. - similar to that - ohh except from having slept the next day straight.

how many hours did you stay awake for?
what made you stay awake that long?

Hallucinating is what my mom nicknamed it because she had no idea what to think… I am not sure, i didnt think you could scream wile sleeping… it, I believe it just might be sleepwalking :wink:, but its still really scary and wierd…

when I was little I stayed up till 2 or 3 AM and couldnt handle it… because i was little :wink:. and sometimes i stayed up all night. but sometimes it happend if I lost maybe an hour or 2 sleep through the week and it builds up…
it doesnt happen often anymore, In fact its rare, I also have dreams about this so sometime i cant tell the difference between my dreams and the actual experiances…

I was a “Night person”, and I still am but like I said, I was little back then and needed more sleep…

Last night I took two vitamin B-6 pills (for vivid dreams) and around two or three in the morning I began to hallucinate images of plants (my eyes were open). My room looked like a freakin jungle! I think I should get more sleep.

I stayed awake for more than 36 hours lately. I started seeing traces after my hands when i moved them, and movement in the corner of my field of vision. I got strange “waves” through my body too, almost like the “waves” in the WILD process. So I can imagine how it is possible to hallucinate after too little sleep.

Lunatic, have you heard about “night terrors”? Could that be what you experienced?

Welcome, GoodNight, btw :cool:

I remember when I was a child I would get really bad night terrors. I would come out of my room, eyes wide open and suddenly point at something and scream at it, all the while I was having the same recurring nightmare.

The only way I could get out of it quickly most of the time is if my mum led me to the toilet, it’s like when I was doing my thing I would sortof wakeup and I always remember waking up in the bathroom crying really bad not knowing whats happening, 5 minutes later I’m already asleep again in bed.

And yeah, this normally happened on a day when I was stressed (amazing how unstressful all of life then seems now).

Night terrors eh?

Thats sounds wierd… maybe thats what I was experiancing?

… or something

maybe thats just normal sleepwalking, since i myself used to sleepwalk alot when i was younger and my parents told me that i could walk around a house or come to their bedrooms door and ask something weird etc… fortunately i dont recall any of this, it would be too embarassing :happy:

I’ve thought about that too, but doesn’t it happen only to very young children?

When I was very young I had a recurring ‘terror’ of a massive eight-ball, making a huge crashing noise, coming to crush me. It wasn’t anywhere in my real field of vision, but when I closed my eyes I would see it. I had this feeling fixed in my brain that this eightball was going to kill meso I would run to my hallway and scream and cry until my parents came.
