I think I have heard some people mention they have this experience sometimes... Sometimes when I wake up from a dream but I'm not quite awake, I get this LOUD piercing beeeeep right in my head. It feels as if I can control its intenseness and as It gets more intense I feel like I'm starting to drift off into another lucid dream, but it also feels like my head might explode so I back off LOL. I really wonder what the hell that is lol.
Could it be an audio hallucination?
I don't think so, it definitely felt more real, like I actually felt the beep in my temples. I have heard this experience assosiated with astral projection many times but despite my long standing interest in it, I don't have much reason to belive it. I think it can something lucid dream related instead.Quote:

If no one here can provide a good enough answer, you may want to see a doctor about this.
I don't get a headache, but maybe I should ask my doctor about it haha. But I think It has more to do with sleep paralysis because I only get it after dreams and sometimes I can get into lucid dreams from this beeping sound.
what is the reason that you think it is not hallucination?
Just the way it feels, Idk, it very well could be.Quote:

Astral Projection... Yeah sure
I have the beep too. I´ve read that when you fall asleep, a relatively big amouth of electricity goes thru your eardrum. So that makes the sound. Actually, eletricity goes thru it all the time. That makes a little beep sound all the time.
It sounds to me like the age old phenominom called 'ringing in the ears'. I get this from time to time. Usually when I've been smoking pot. I usually get rid of it by putting on some music and trying to pick out the instruments.Quote:

I think I know what you're talking about. I've experienced this in several of my WILDs. It's usually one of the last stages before I enter the dream, and, yes, the weird feeling that your head is going to explode can be disconcerting.
I've had that incredibly annoying buzz from time to time as well, just try to ignore it, it's really nothing. :P
I'm going to go ahead and re-answer your question.Quote:

You guys, this is called Exploding Head Syndrome. No, that is actually the name of the condition :?
While yes, this could be it (link), try not to scare peopl purposefully.Quote:
