I have had these dreams throughout my childhood and just had one recently. The dream is like what you would see from a TV that isn’t getting a channel, static, the sound is white noise. That is all the dream is, I cant see myself or anything/anybody its the strangest thing and its very hard to explain. Anyone ever have the same thing happen to them?
I have had the same thing happen, mostly in half sleep or SP. It was a lot more common in my childhood. Sometimes I would see an uniform grey void in this state, too. It could be some form of non REM dream, from a deeper sleep stage?
That’s weird. If you look at static on your TV long enough your mind starts to make up patterns. So you see swirling or dots moving from one side of the screen to the other. And to a degree you can control it. But it’s like the mind realy wants to see something more interesting than pixels showign black or white randomly. So it is strange that you’d recreate that in a dream. Similarly, if you listen to white noise long enough, you start to hallucinate sounds.
Also interesting is that when you have looked at the static for a while and switch to a channel, the picture is like, EXTREMELY clear for a while. As if your eyes got supercharged.
