Strange experience

**Ekyu** · 06-30-2012 01:57 PM

I had a lucid dream last night, didn't last that long cause my cat decided it was time to wake me up! But when i woke up, i could still see my lucid dream in one eye, And i could see my room and cat in my other eye. This lasted for 10-15 seconds. It's like when u play multiplayer on your playstation against your friend. Bit like this:

Has anybody ever got something like this, it felt really strange.. Not sure how to put it into words though. Also i could feel my cat hugging up to me, but i also could feel the walls in my lucid dream or the steps that i took.. Never had something like this before.

That's odd...but kind of cool.
I could imagine it would be useful in some occasions, Like pretending to listen to A very boring lecture regarding proper employee Behavior in the work environment.

I had a similar experience, but this only happened once so far.

I just entered a dream from Sleep Paralysis, but once i opened my dream eyes, i've seen thousands of horrifying pictures flashing at extreme speeds before me... There was blood and things like that everywhere. So i got scared and wanted to wake up instead. But i could only open one of my eyes, because the pillow was blocking the other one.

So, while still being in SP i've seen the same brutal images flashing on the side of my closed eye, while i was staring at my room with the open eye... Weird and scary...

Yeah, it's pretty cool, isn't it?

I've had it twice- just see it as a glitch.
Your mind hasn't fully awaken, only partial. It's like hallucinating during sp. Nothing to worry about but an uber interesting phenomenon.

Happened to me once. Not with LD, but with HH. I started getting some simple images behind my closed eyelids when I heard something "bump" in my room. Opened one eye to check it out and to my surprise, I continued seeing images even with opened eye. Lasted maybe 5 seconds. Can't remember, if they just stopped, or I closed my eye. Very amusing.

Ya happened to me too, i woke up while my dream still continued for a few seconds, i was still laying down though, i could've been looking at the ceiling and there was spider webs draped all over the ceiling and woke up seeing the exact thing. But i had to blink to make it disappear.

That's not what we are talking about here...

I used to get a similar phenomenon when I was younger, where I'd wake up from a nightmare and still hear the dream for up to 5 seconds after. It was horrible really, felt like the nightmare had followed me into real life!

Did a little bit of research, and the closest thing i can find is a state between awake and still asleep like SP, this is quite obvious though. So i would say the things we see is hypnagogia that still takes on part of the dream on a quite high vivid level, if that makes any sense? But it's interesting that there is no vibrations, paralysis or any of that kind. Not sure if this is helpfull or not..

This has happened to a few people around here. I personally have not experienced anything like it. A few times my dream kind of faded not the real worlds but that was with both eyes open :p
