The Hallucinations Thread!

[paigeyemps]

What interesting hallucinations have you experienced? I am referring to the ones that are hypnagogic (while falling asleep) and hypnopompic (while waking up), and not hallucinations induced by drugs or mental conditions. They can be visual, auditory, tactile, etc. As for me, almost everytime before falling asleep, I would hear banging on my door, chains being dragged across the floor beside me, and a little girl whispering in my ear in my native dialect. It's pretty creepy but I've gotten used to it so it's all good. I have no idea why they are so consistent either. Most of the hallucinations I get while waking up are tactile, e.g. I would feel something tightening around my ankles, and also, I would smell lemons. What about you?

That sound so frightening, i definitely wouldn't be able to handle what you hallucinate! Fortunately for me, i don't recall hallucinating anything at all. i am very interested in what other people post though.

I had one a long time ago when I was waking up. It was a visual hallucination. It was like my best friend at the time was sitting next to me in a chair, and then he turned towards me and started to get up, but then I woke up..fully I guess and I realized that it was just a stuffed dragon. It kind of scared me though, because he had this mean and scary look in his eyes, as if he intended to hurt me.

Man your illusions are cool! Mine I've only had two: One is that a weird looking clock with a red pointer that I somehow control with a fake hand and it looks a little like this: EmperorTime.jpg Another one is that i'm just lying on my bed, unable to move while a girl in a... I guess yellow dress with pink-grayish hair stroking my hair and humming a lullaby.

That sounds creepy but cute at the same time. Depends on the tune of the lullaby i guess. Haha First I was really scared, but for some reason I liked her humming and stroking my hair was rather nice. It made me sleep like a baby haha! "Hush... now.....", then I went to sleep. It happened to me atleast 7 times now, very relaxing!

Once when attempting to WILD I got the pressure on my chest and vibrations, as well as like, I don't know, best way to say it is it was like the northern lights on the underside of my eyelids, my body also vibrated like crazy!

Just as I was falling asleep, a few nights ago, I got a vivid image of a forest. The trees were pure white, and each branch ended in a single, large leaf. I remember this very clearly, as the image was as clear as a photograph in front of my face. I was actualy there for a split second. If I had any skills as an artist, I would paint the image, and put it up on here. ( Sounds like a good idea for a dedicated thread on here )

Sometimes when i wake up, i see some small dark creature moving wherever i look, it's pretty fun and lasts from 10 seconds up to a minute or so if i don't move much.

Very few audio HH: - door creaking open in the middle of my room - someone shaking/dusting bed sheet (or a cape?) - sound of chain saw coming closer - people talking Tactile: - small squirel like creature running accross my face and licking my brain - wind blowing in my face - flying at warp speed over rough surface - falling at high speed But mostly I get beautiful visuals. I want moar.

[Bliz]

It ranges from hearing wind blowing and that turning into a tornado to someone walking back and forth by my bed or some unnatural being trying to kill me Sometimes I also see a really bright light and it feels like electricity passing throughout my body.

I was in a lucid dream once and I was making up with this Asian lady who was taller than me, I woke up and I was making out with the air.

I was in a lucid dream once and I was making up with this Asian lady who was taller than me, I woke up and I was making out with the air. That's not really a hallucination.. It's more that sleep paralysis wearing off a tad early and pi carrying out the dream actions..

[Jdeadevil]

That's not really a hallucination.. It's more that sleep paralysis wearing off a tad early and pi carrying out the dream actions.. Haha, well, still worth the mention, right?

Last summer I woke up in the middle of the night, I heard a alarm clock going off so I was rolling around on the bed. I rolled over to the side and started opening doors on my dresser half awake. It stopped. For some reason I thought snooze was going to go off and scare me so I half freaked out and hid under a pillow. The next morning I realized I didn't have an alarm clock. I hear people talking every once and a while too. For example: "I have a physical appearance." " A physical appearance?!? Are you crazy, Harry?!" " maybe you have to travel underneath the blankets."

[paigeyemps]

Holy crap your hallucinations are cool! Love the squirrel one, gab. The best thing about it is it's different for everyone and you never know what you're gonna get!

[Phased]

Haha, well, still worth the mention, right? Indeed

[muskee]

Before falling asleep I get a tactile hallucination of cockroaches on my neck or legs, it scares me the fuk out of my bed, every single time and it happens frequently T_T and those small insect legs feel so so so gross

[oneiroer]

I have heard what I thought was my name being called out, a bunch of creepy voices saying "God God God" or something like that, and footsteps. There might have been more but these happened some time ago.

[funymunky]

I've only had one WILD (and I didn't make it past the hypnogogic stage before getting too excited and waking up) but all I really saw was a fan on my ceiling. I actually thought it was my normal room, but my room doesn't have a fan. I heard some sort of creepy stuff though, like knocking on my door and unintelligible whispering in my ear. It wasn't scary at all though. Other than that, it felt like my body was a wave and I was vibrating like crazy.

[oneiroer]

That is creepy Yep! My name being called out wasn't as scary as the creepy voices. The creepy voices was the scariest one. My name being called out wasn't too scary but i think it woke me up and I was all paranoid thinking who might have called my name. I was living at my dad's at the time and I asked him but he said he didn't call my name. But I've read in a book and I guess some people get this. The footsteps were less scary than the creepy voices. They startled me but that was it. Does this sound like a hallucination to you or anyone else? What I thought seemed like thousands of dogs howling...? That one happened quite a few years ago and I'm not sure if it's because I was going mentally sick Edit: at the time or if it was a hallucination...

[HeWhoCreates]

Once while falling into WILD I heard a man screaming in terror. It echoed and faded. Almost shit my pants. Became lucid after that though
