Crazy Intense First Time

[flamboduck]

I've experienced hipnagogic hallucinations and sleep paralysis quite a bit, but last week I actually experienced WILD for the first time. I had laid down to bed 20-30 minutes before and was getting to the point of falling asleep, but was still very much consciously aware of my state of being. My little boy had climbed into my bed earlier, and I felt his hand hit my back (which was actually a HH), and just at that point I felt myself get pulled away...it was the most intense and real experience I have had. There was a loud whooshing sound, and I felt like I was being pulled head over heels, tumbling into another world. When the tumbling and intense sensation of being pulled into another world subsided, I was a little freaked out, and basically wanted to just wake up, as I hadn't experience that before. I also wanted to roll over to check on my son, as the whole time I was being "pulled" into it, I was thinking...just a second son, once I get past whatever the heck is happening to me, I'll see what you want. I was able to pull myself out of it, and just sat there wondering what the heck had just happened. A week later, I arrived just at the point of being pulled in again, but this time I resisted (which I regret now). Now that I've read up on what is going on, I'm a lot more excited to go with it, and not resist or wake myself up. It was just a little frighteneing the first two times it happened.

Sounds like you almost had an out of body experience. What's an HH?

Sounds like you almost had an out of body experience. What's an HH? Sorry...HH is Hypnagogic Hallucination.

Thanks for answering! I've definitely had that before. It's quite frightening.

Wellcome to DreamViews, I hope you'll have a great time here I have never experienced HH in that manner, I allways have a feeling, during sp, that I'm in some really big... huge space and only seconds away from a dream, it is really exilirating, but I usually blow it up by awaking myself. When it becomes more common, this feeling of HH, It lasts just a couple of seconds and then the images starts to pop up quikly and I'm in a dream or, usually, awake. These are really cool experiences ,but they become more and more unfrequent so enjoy them as much as you can.
