      Hallucinating in WL??

      Okay so lately i've been hallucinating randomly during the day. I'll think I see my cat in my peripheral (sp?) vision, and I'll turn to look at it, only to find it's not there. Of coarse, I'll instantly do a reality check. Which always proves that I'm NOT dreaming.
      Is there and explanation for this? Does this happen to anybody else??

      I've been thinking I could use this as a potential way to become lucid in future dreams. If I see my cat, I'll do a reality check and become lucid. (Since I always do a reality check after thinking I've seen my cat in WL)

      Do You think that would work??

      It could work to your benefit as you stated: Reality Checks

      I don't think anything is wrong.. Honestly, being a paranormal investigator, you might be around a lot of things that are giving off high EMF.. which can cause anything from hallucinations (what you are stating), nausea, and headaches.. things of that nature...

      But like I said before, it could work toward your benefit.. maybe your cat can become one of your dream signs, and maybe you will remember to RC in your dreams

      hope that helps

      You caught my interest when you mentioned seeing a cat out of the corner of your vision. I go through phases where I will have this also. I don't own a cat, and never have. I don't have any real strong feelings about cats.

      For some reason, I get in this mode sometimes where I keep seeing phantom movement out of the corner of my eye, and assume it is a cat. I always warn my girlfriend when it is happening, so she doesn't get freaked out by my strange behavior.

      One other thing to note is that I always see real cats, even when they are impossibly hidden. Cat in the bushes on a busy city street? My vision is instantly drawn to it. Cat hiding under my car? I will somehow know it is there, and shoo it away. It is like I have some sort of subconscious uncontrollable cat paranoia, and am always looking for them.

      hehe I'm kinda young to be drinking and smoking, so no
      maybe it was tiredness...

      RobotButler, I actually have 5 cats, and I always think I'm seeing one of them.

      But I think it must have been tiredness, because I haven't been seeing them lately. And I saw them a LOT that day.

      Yep, I get this all the time, too. Usually when I start getting tired... So I guess it's a good theory.
