The Hallucinations Thread!

[BruteForce223]

The scariest SP hallucination I've had is last year at some point around October. I was lying there paralysed and these cloaked figures drift in my doorway, they ignore me and search my room going through drawers, clothes etc. Then one of them say in a man's voice, "Hey, he's awake now" And I'd start to shit my self and get so freaked out and then one would always float towards me slowly and I'd try to move or cry out my I couldn't even shut my eyes. Then once it'd be right face to face with this black cloaked thing I'd wake up covered in cold sweat. This happened for about 2 weeks and my sleep was awful, until I managed to convince myself to have the attitude, of "Come at me bro" sort of thing. xD So then it went away thankfully.

Showing courage whan facing shadowy figures is the best way to get them to leave quickly. Same thing with any scary hallucination ( Real, or not ) It is almost as if they feed on fear.

I had a lot of those, and never a WILD. All of my sleep paralysis hallucinations included the old hag, except one in which I was at ease and comfy, and when I opened my eyes and looked at the wall, I saw just flowers and things like that. The other time, I fell asleep while listening to John Coltrane's Russian Lullaby and I had a very vivid 'dream' where I was a stick figure on a bicycle cycling through San Francisco. A friend of mine saw one of his friends sitting naked at the edge of his bed and staring at him. He was in sp, though.

Sometimes, when I'm half-asleep at night, I'll hear people that I know say my name. They'll just say it in normal, calm tone, and it's actually not creepy at all. Sometimes I'll hear them saying random stuff that doesn't make much sense. Then there's the quick, several second vision of tripping or falling off my bike and I jolt awake. One time I had a several second vision of going up to a classmate to ask him something.

A couple times a week for the past year I have been having horrible insect hallucinations every time I'm waking up, or it is what wakes me up. My wall will be covered in ants or there will be a giant centipede in my bed. And recently its been turning into people, the other night hands were coming through my window. Every night is exactly the same, its extremely real when it happens, I freak out and turn the lights on then realize what it is. But yeah I hate it lol.

[Jinjo]

wow, a lot of these hallucinations sound creepy as hell... as for my hallucination it was a quicker shift than I thought it would be I have my eyes closed and then I start hearing random ambient noises, like nature, or people working in a construction site. It gets increasingly louder until it becomes very loud static, I hear it in both of my ears, the static turns into the song ADIDAS by Korn (I don't even like them!). As for the feeling, I feels like a rush because I'm trying not to be shaken by it, after a while everything snaps and the lights turn on by themselves and I awake in my lucid dream, the song fades away after my reality check.

I'm SO glad I don't have stuff like that man, I'm actually so freaked out by centipedes.. :S Good luck keeping that scary shit away. :SS

please define to me what a real hallucination is and what isn't? If there are actual visitors to the room, and they are somehow normally hidden. Seeing them would be real They would not be a hallucination, but would appear to be. - real hallucination Now if the cloaked figures were only in the persons mind, this would be a hallucination, and not real Get it? You should try the ultimate mind buzz. Get lucid in a dream, and try to get out of your dream body by astral projecting. Mind blowing experience to leave a body that does not exist in the first place. Audio comes on like a jet plane in the ears. All senses switched to overdrive. Very much like getting high on LSD The reason for this is, you are already half way there, when you are in a lucid dream All the effort you put into dream control would be used to get to the lucid state Then you can start with the same effort from the lucid state. Can't explain what it is like. It's one of those things you just have to experience for yourself.

ive had a very similar experience, i had it when i was trying to astral project. i am curious as to what time you doing the WILD technique, before sleep of after?

[Scionox]

Upon waking up from today's nap i saw pretty big spider-like creature crawling on the wall behind me in the reflective surface of one of drawers. Unlike most of hallucinations this one was very vivid and clear, i found it quite interesting(i like spiders ).

[Phased]

Sounds like hallucinations to me :s Yeah, same here, sounds a lot like it, I mean, it wasn't real, and your mind most likely conjured it, that seems like a hallucination to me

If I had that hallucination I would freakkk out I won't even sleep in my bed if there's a spider above it on the roof.

Well, I had quite a strange experience when I was about 15 years old. You see, there's this girl from my childhood. I'll call her Mel for the sake of the story. Whenever Mel is in my dreams these days, something is about to go very very wrong. She lulls me into a false sense of security and we talk, but then there's always a massive shock wave that feels like it's made of pure fear. Often it will break electricals in the dream and then my worst fears, my worst nightmares are awoken. I always look back and she's gone, I'm alone with what scares me the most and it's after me. So with that in mind, I woke up one morning. I'd had a normal dream, was a normal sleep, nothing odd. But when I woke up I seemed to be in a double bed, although I never looked away from the ceiling, only taking in sideways my basic surroundings. On my left the bed to seemed to stretch and there was someone there. It was Mel and we began talking, like we were always this way. I own a single bed and I always sleep alone. Mel and me talked for a while, I don't honestly remember what about. But then... I realized that she wasn't supposed to be there, like a sudden jolt of my memories and rationality came back. I've never slept next to Mel in my life, why and how was she there! I looked over instantly and I saw her looking at me, with her eyes. I saw her, as if she was really there. Then POOF, with that actual sound she puffed into a cloud of black smoke, hovering next my bed. Then I heard it go "Woooffff" as it rapidly accelerated, getting sucked under my bed. I was terrified, unimaginably terrified. I jumped out my bed, fearing it was still under there, ready to attack me. I knew it couldn't be real, it just wasn't possible so I opened my sheets that covered the side of my bed quickly and it wasn't there, it was gone. I got up and dressed and made breakfast.

I totally know what you mean about the "massive shock wave that feels like it's made of pure fear", I used to get that when I had my run of freaky hallucinations last year. Thanks for sharing anyway, great to hear stories like this, and fun to read. :3 Cheers

I just woke up and got a Hallucination, I don't know how, probably because I didn't move and tried to recall my dream. A voice greeted me, by saying hello and my name (also the voice was very smooth and not creepy at all lol). Shadows dancing in front of my eyes, one shadow kinda looked like a person, at first I was scared but then I remembered myself that those things are just in my head and they seemed to disappear. I also couldn't move, so I guess I got into SP somehow, anyway I could get out of it and funnily enough it was around the time I wanted to try WBTB and I think if this Hallucination hadn't occured I would have fallen asleep again by accident, so I am happy Though I guess if I wouldn't have been so scared to begin with I maybe could have tried WILD.

[khaos01207]

A lot of times, literally RIGHT before I get to sleep, I will feel like I am falling straight down. A rather scary way to come back into it. :c

[Ctharlhie]

Overhearing garbled conversations, doors, hands, my room, faces, the sound of a train, the buzzing of a bee/wasp, music, dialup tones, heavy distortion, waves of numbness.

[PeterF]

as i'm falling asleep i usually see shadows & i guess you can call them entities? the main one i would see was while in my childhood home i would see a woman just walking about & look at me. at first since i was a little kid it scared me so i would face the wall to avoid it but it made it worse knowing i had my back to whatever was there lol, but soon after i got used to it and ever so often i'll see her, other than that i'll sometimes catch a glimpse of a humanoid looking thing, as for sounds i usually hear people mostly women talking to me or having conversations with each other & i even heard some woman sing my name into a little song, but like i said by now i'm used to it, up to the point that i'm looking forward to sleep just to see if i can see anything else

[paigeyemps]

Dial-up tones! I used to get them before too, they were quite annoying x)

[DaFunk]

During a period of time where I wasn't really trying to LD anymore, I once heard an acquaintance of mine Donnell whisper my name while I was falling asleep. It was freaky, to say the least.

[Windhover@]

I once saw a young pale woman with blue hair holding a blue rose. She was wearing long white skirt and her eye shadows were beautifully dark. The other time I saw a pink elephant eating cookies.

[benzilla04]

I woke up on the sofa from falling asleep watching TV and hallucinated giant spiders all over the walls
