Thread: Strange Post-almost-LD-experience. Any thoughts?

I relaxed for a little while and then began to feel weird, and all of a sudden I could feel my vision slipping away into my dreams. I started to see red flashing lights, like a siren, and after a few seconds heard the alarm as well. I must have gotten too excited and woke up, but then something strange happened. When I opened my eyes I could see tons of letters across my vision, kind of like when you look into a light and then turn away and the imprint stays. I could tell they were all typed letters and after about ten seconds they went away. My question: has anyone experienced something like this? When they wake up from a dream and still have remnants of it left? I have never heard of something like this before and would like to hear any thoughts you might have. Thanks

Interesting . This sound's kind of like my experience the other night where i was in a dream and a girl told me i was going to wake up, even though i wasn't lucid. At that moment i woke up and opened my eyes, I was in sleep paralysis and i couldn't move. My room was shaking and wobbling everywhere, but this was the hallucinations from the SP. Maybe the letter's were hallucinations? .

Just a guess.

That could be what it was. I just thought it was so strange because it was like I was looking at a computer screen full of letters before that. It didn't feel like a hallucination, but then again I don't have much experience with this so I guess that's the most likely reason. Thanks for your feedback

Very strange, have you experienced anything else like that since? Any partial lds? Its weird to have an experience like that and then not anymore

After I had that experience I sort of got out of it for a little while and haven't experienced any ld's, partial or full. I recently got back into it and am hoping to experience something soon. If I do have another experience like this one I will be sure to post it
