I was going to sleep, at about 12:00 at night, I wasn’t tired at all since I woke up at 11:00 in the morning that day. I lay there in bed for about 5 minutes, then I started seeing small images which appeared and then went away, then there was a high pitch sound in my ears, it grew stronger and stronger, then I felt a sensation as if the bed was rotating round and round and round, oviously before this went any further I stood up and sat on my bed wondering about what happend. Then I went back to sleep and the same thing happend only this time I stood up before I started rotating again. It wasn’t untill I was too tired to care anymore that I was able to go to sleep without this happening.
Well, to make this post somewhat meaningful, I’ve heard HI and HH can be accompanied by sensational noises, and not just visuals. If you hadn’t done any kind of drug or anything else out of the ordinary, I would just assume it was a unique dream experience. Is there any reason to believe it was something other than a dream?
You can get hypnogogic stuff happening pretty much any time that you drift off into sleep. Also, you can enter your REM period earlier if your sleeping patterns have changed.
the high pithched nois was hypnagogic sound i’d say.
and the images hypna images.
the rotating probably some hypna sensation, that is just imagination…so don’t worry about it
During my first WILD i experienced Electrical jolts through my body, was a little ffreaked out, hadn’t read anything about it
well i have noticed that if I am tired or in a trance and i focus both my eyes on the center of my forehead (while they are closed) i get that s l o w backflip feeling
Yeah, I’m starting to notice that OOBEs tend to have the spinning characterstic. I remember in my first (and only true successful one so far, I think), that I had a short “dream” in which there was a tornado that picked up my body, and then did something wierd like switch my body w/ some other persons. Then when I was arousing, I could see strange darkish concentric spirals until I fully awoke. Anyone might have any insight as to why?
