Thread: What is this ?

hi guys im trying to figure out what this is. sometimes before i go to sleep i sometimes see like faces but not really vivid faces and my brain just thinks random thoughts and sometimes i relise it and just stop? also sometimes before i sleep i can see my room for about 5-10 seconds but not dark its kind of lighted like i see my computer and desktop and stuff is this lucid dreaming

It sounds like you are having hypnagogic imagery - Google it if you don't know what it is.
When the images get so random and stay vivid for just a millisecond I call it a "dream flash" you can read in my dream journal if you want to read my experiences of the wandering mind.

oh so is this type of thing normal? to get into lucid dreaming or?

The same thing has happened to me a few times before. It'll go away eventually... Or at least it did for me...

No I am sorry it's not normal we are weirdos.

Hehe, no it's completely normal, I usually go to bed in a slightly uncomfortable sleep posture (sitting, on my back etc) and I use these images as entertainment while going to sleep.
You can learn a lot from it as well, find out what's really on your mind.

Experiment with it and see what happens. My only goal while going to sleep is to get those dream flashes it's really fun to see what random things your mind can come up with. I don't know if it will work for you, but when I do this I get more vivid dreams than by just falling asleep normally.

haha ! yeah i also use it for entertainment to go to sleep. lol it really does help you drift off! thanks for the info guys

Sounds like Sleep Paralysis. Nothing to worry about

Vampires. The only explanation

Nah i'm joking, it's probably just ghosts.
