High Fever causes horrifying Dream/Hullicination.. what is it?
I've tried searching but its so hard for me to explain it. Hopefully somebody else knows what this is that I am experiencing. I know there has to be more people because I have a friend who has told me he has the same exact experiences.
For me, this only happens when I am sick with a high fever. Its probably happened 4-5 times in which I've recalled.
I go to sleep and then I wake up. I wake up to this horrible feeling that I have to finish a TASK that I know is IMPOSSIBLE... but yet, I have no idea what the task is. I just have the feeling in my body that I have to do something... (i dont know what) but something that is VERY VERY VERY IMPOSSIBLE.
I know it sounds crazy, but thats the best way I can explain it. It usually last for about 5 minutes, but if I'm really sick it can last for a lot longer.. say, 15 mins.
Sometimes when this happens I see weird shapes. I can't remember is I'm seeing it while sleeping or right after I wake up. Usually its simple square shapes or something of that nature.
Does anybody know what this is?!
Dreaming with Fever!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAS ANYONE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE BEFORE?? I only remeber having this frightening dream as a child, and maybe once or twice in my early teens. It was only when I was delerious with fever. I had a reoccuring dream that I was in a big cave, and there were horrible terrifying loud noises, like quick bursts of harsh yelling. Then a HUGE MASSIVE BOULDER came voilently rolling towards me as if to crush me. It was SO LOUD, SO VIOLENTLY LOUD and so frieghtening. The Boulder somehow didn't crush me and went away. All of a sudden it was DEAD SILENCE, like a VACUUM, THEN out of the ground over which the boulder had just rolled, a tiny, delicate, innocent little blade of grass sprouts up, with a little flower on it. It was almost as if it was supposed to be a sign of relief, like the sprout of grass was symbolizing "its ok, dont worry". But then the fear came back instantly, because I knew that the tiny little blade of grass could do absolutely nothing to protect me if that boulder was to return. It was a horrible, helpless, miserable and frightening feeling.
I'm so glad I've post this post (even if it is years old...)
Hi all,
I've had a fever for the past 2 days now and my average usually lasts around 3-4days. When I was younger I had about 5 of these hallucinations' in total but have not had one since I was 13 (23now). My first one, alI I can describe is this absolutly horrifying state. I ran to the front door but could not work out how to open it..I then ran over to the sink and gushed cold water over my head. I will never forget how horrifying it was. I had another one a few years later, where I felt like my mind was inside my next door neighbors lounge room (who I've never met before). Every person I've described the feeling too provided an uneducated diagnosis. I remember saying to the old man that without a doubt, I would prefer to break an arm or leg instead of having one of these terror hallucinations. Any way.. reason for the post is because I just woke up (it's 2:35am) and just experienced a small one, and all the memory's have just come rushing back. Shit it sucks!
anyhow, good to see these states described so well, a few of them hit the nail on the head. Also good to hear there is other 'horror hallucinations' freaks like me out there. peace
