Note: I am writing this introduction before I conduct the Ganzfeld Experiment.


Ok, so a member of Dream Views recently introduced the concept of the Ganzfeld Experiment to me, and I decided I would give it a shot, as hallucinations are radical. The basic concept behind it is this; when your mind is deprived of what it is 'addicted' to it will attempt to put something in its addictions place. In the case of the Ganzfeld Experiment you remove visual and audio stimuli, the way you do this is by blocking your vision with either ping pong balls or blacked out goggles and with a pair of headphones you listen to brown/pink noise (not white) - removing your addictions from your mind and forcing it to replace them, which in this case, it uses hallucinations, sounds cool right.

Tonight, before bed I will be attempting this and will be writing down everything that happened to me below, if it succeeds I will be doing it most nights of the week.



The experience began at about 8.11, I layed down and turned the noise on. The first 10 minutes or so were uneventful, but eventually I began to heat up, and felt like I was on fire, and began sweating, a lot. This lasted throughout the whole experience. Eventually I started to see what I can only describe as the northern lights, just moving a lot quicker and with the colours red, blue, green and yellow. After a while I started hearing voices, I heard something call my name and then heavy breathing, soon after I started to see faces and eyes that changed rather quickly and would randomly appear at different sizes and places in my vision, some human looking, others alien looking. This went on for who knows how long, I eventually decided to pull out the headphones and take off the goggles, it was 8:35.

All in all, it was not what I was expecting, but I definitely enjoyed it a lot, it reminded me of some of the hypnagogic images I have seen from WILD'ing. Will be trying it again tomorrow night with a different noise playing. Thanks for reading.
