Thread: Punched in the face

So I was taking a nap and felt like it would be a good time to try to LD. I dozed off for a bit and all of a sudden I felt like I got punched in the face and heard a loud pop. It really startled me.

I think I've read about this happening to other people before, but not to me. Anyone know what it means?

Exploding Head Syndrome.

I know what it's like dude, I have it too

It's never happened to me before though. Isn't the exploding head syndrome a recurring thing?

I wouldn't call it "recurring". For me it just happens randomly. There's gotta be something that triggers it though because sometimes I will like 3 in a row, then not have it again for a really lond time. Maybe it's a type of hallucination caused from sleep-deprevation or something.

It's a side effect of Lucid Dreaming and is very serious. You can tell from my high post count and join date that I have much experience in this field of study.

Nah, just kidding, I have no idea. Never happened to me before.

This happened to me a bit in the past, though it didn't feel like I was getting punched. It was just really loud.
Once it happened that music was playing in my head as I was falling asleep, and it slowly got louder and louder until I woke up again.
