I just get tactile and electricity, no visual or audio.
I think I messed up my poll.
Usually some staticly feelings, and most of the time, halucinations. But I haven't pulled it off often.
The only SP where something happened, I was kidnapped. So it was like tactile, I guess.
Mostly tactile, then visual at the latter stages. Sometimes audio. Of course, I'd consider "electric feeling" tactile, too.
What does the tactile hallucination feel like with you? For me, I either feeling like I am sitting up or a part of my body moves.
Electric and audio.
Generally visual...
Most recent examples- Hordes of spiders dangling by a strand from the ceiling, needles attached to robotic arms protruding from the walls, aliens looking through windows in the wall, shadow humanoids.
Disturbing to most, but useful to me, as when I am threatened by such things I am usually able to become lucid.
Others include tactile and auditory at roughly 1/2 the frequency of visual.
eg: Disorientation of gravity, floating feeling, slow down of repeating noises (such as fan or heart beat background noise)
Ocassionally I will have the electric problem.
eg: Feels like I have a jolt burning through my brain, or sometimes accompined by visual. I will wake up and see blue electrical disharges at a distant location (down the hall etc...) and feel tingly with powerful jolts.
Wait I have a question! How do people get visuals if they close their eyes?Quote:

Ahh so it's like imagining something but your eyes are closed? This is just more real?Quote:

If you dwell on it, can you get some memory of something that happened in the visual that you weren't originally aware of? Did this really happen, or was it some crap your brain just made up?
:D
That makes a lot of sense! But to WILD your eyes must be closed I thought.
hahahaha a poll on SP hallucinations but no checkbox for sensed presences?
That's what I would've checked.
Doh! I guess you can put that in other. I knew I made a 5th box for something!Quote:

I clicked sensed presence and visual. Sensed presence is always the strongest sensation though. It feels demonic. Sometimes I see shadows or "ghosts".
I still say, the last time I opened my eyes and I saw a rainbow man with a top hat and cane, I laughed so freaking hard.Quote:

Definitely visual, auditory, sensed presence, and electric shock feeling.
Can someone explain these? Tactile would be uhh a dream setting and theme happening in your mind?
Tactile is movement, or so I was told.Quote:

Oh, yeah I am difently Tactile then!
I always fell little hands pulling on my legs in a reythem.
its like this leg, than that leg, back and fourth each time my legs get a little bit longer.
It fells like little calws. And I here little demonic laughs, sometimes its hard not to laugh with them lol
I seem to get quite a lot of those. The only boxes I couldn't tick were "other" and "sensed presence". One time I had SP it felt like a chainsaw was going through my foot (except there was no pain). I could hear it and my whole body was vibrating. It was a weird feeling that came on suddenly; it startled me right out of it. Most common for me are audio and visual hallucinations, and feeling like I can't breathe properly.
I get it all :D
The only one I rarely get is suffocation.
I never get the cant breathe deal.
Dose it only fell like you cant breathe? or is it you really cant? Becuase if you really cant thats bad. you should tell your doctor about it
No, these are all hallucinations.
Sleep apnea, on the other hand... *shudders at the memory*
If someone cannot breathe.. Or so they think, what do they do? Just relax?Quote:

Isn't it like sleep walking? Not really recognized by the sufferer?
Beats me, I don't have it. I would wake up in the middle of the night because my roommate was gagging in her sleep. It was fucking terrifying because every time it happened I would wake up in a panic convinced she was dying, then lay there until she went back to breathing. And then lay there until my heart went back to beating before I could fall asleep again :(
I DO NOT have fond memories of sleep my freshmen year :(
I get ALL of them, its horrid.
Audio
Visual
Electric feeling
Sensing a precence
My room is mostly completly dark, but when it isnt i get visual
The audio is mostly buzzing or cars like sounds (there rarely drives a car in my street). Once i heard 3 voices arguing and presences standing next to my bed, it was a demon sent by satan to take me to hell as he claimed and 2 gaurdian angels defending that it cant be done and wont let him pass.
I get them all. Usually sensed presence, audio and tactile. Visual is next most often for me. If I WILD then I get a lot of electric tingling feelings and sometime the suffocation stuff.
I checked sensed presence and suffocating.
I only get SP when I am waking up, usually from nightmares/lucid dreams. The presence is the worst. Feels like some kind of demon is standing at the foot of my bed. But since I always realize that it's just SP, it's not that bad. Suffocating really has only happened to me once, but still... I'm just glad I don't get visual/ audio mixed in with these. Some of these accounts sound dreadful.
Quick question: Do you only get visual when you try to open your eyes?:shock:
Heh...
Not sure what to click on the poll.
With the two WILDs I've had I've heard rushing noises almost like waves, felt massive vibrations and then procced to feel like I'm rolling to my side for around a minute.
hmm, any help?
suffocation?????? actually?? how do you experience this its not real right?
It's not, but it's a hallucination that it's happening.
I said audio, visual, and difficulty breathing, although I'm not sure whether I've ever fully experienced SP. Audio's always a weee-ooohh-weee-oooh sound (like the Doppler effect, only different). Once I saw BrBrBrBrBr written all over my vision; it was odd.
I probably should've checked other as well, since my heartbeat speeds up a ton and I hyperventilate (which is a royal pain when I'm trying to count breaths and breathe deeply). Are these also hallucinations, or are they actually happening because I get too excited?
Shadows that are three dimensional.Loud Noises.The feeling of falling.I hate it the most when the loud noises happen,and the shadow people.
I got the non breathign one, one time! But I knew it was not real, so I did not care, because it was so relaxing, almost like I was about to pass out.
It made me fell so peacful lol..
To prevent this from happening.
Just focus on your breathing when you WILD.
say in your head "I know I am always breathing" (No more inner dialog).
Then just focus on your breathing, and let your body breathe on its own. Its very relaxing.
what counts as a haluncinaton? i ALWAYS lay on my back with my hands down by my sides, but as soon as I'm in SP i feel like they're crossed on my lap, well wierd! coz i KNOW theyr on the bed, but not only can i feel my hands crossed, i can feel my legs under them, and the pressure of my hands on my legs. but i KNOW my hands on on the bed by my side. haha.
once, while i was counting, someone told me that i had to slow down counting and wait for larry. there was no audio or visual as such, i just sort of was aware that it was going on around me?
well that depends... did you wait for Larry or didn't you??Quote:

Same for me.Quote:

It was really odd considering: A. the room was completely black, so the visual was small and square-shaped, as if i were seeing in on a screen somewhere in the room, and B. it looked like it was taken with an infared camera, so the figures I thought were in my kitchen were just shadowy outlines.

nothing like a good old sp..
today i had one, some Ghoulish looking bastard came flying through my window and landed on top of me..accompanied by loud death metal riffs.Scared the shit out of me.
I get quite a few, but the one that's bothered me the most for years now is the difficulty breathing. But, since I've learned about lucid dreaming I become more aware that my breathing is actually fine and its my mind messing with me, so I chill out, try to make my breathing even and then try to get out of sleep paralysis. I've had my share of visual and audio and sensed presences, though. They don't bother me that much. Actually the audio is a little alarming but not too hard to take care of once you know you're hallucinating.
Wow, I feel bad for some of you people who get the 'presences', they sound pretty scary..
Mine are always auditory. It's just noise from the vibrations, so it doesn't bother me. A few times I have heard voices, though they were just low mumbles and I didn't pay any attention to them.
I hear voices. It's pretty scary sometimes. They say stuff like that sounds like bizarre military orders, like "Move the third division for maximum grenade retention!"
Wow, I guess I must be lucky XD I saw a beatiful white bird the first time, lagging away (yes it was lagging!)! Then I saw a tiger in white too, biting at me xD I am not even fond of animals, yet I have them as hallucinations Oo wtf xD
I've experienced SP about twice, or so I remember.
The first time, I simply couldn't move and didn't have any hallucinations.
The second, I felt like someone was there and tugging on my quilt (I could also hear it), and I felt like I was floating upwards. I got so freaked out though...this is before I knew what sleep paralysis was. This was after I woke up from a scary dream as well :(

It doesn't seem like a lot of people get the suffocation feeling but for me it's the worse. It feels like there is something sitting on my chest and that every breath I take could be my last. I know your diaphragm doesn't get paralyzed but for me, it sure as hell feels like it. I also can't swallow and will choke....choking combined with not breathing, not fun!
I heard whispers once and I get the worst electrical currents going through my bones and muscles
I feel vibrations and an electric feeling. I also hear a noise that sounds like blood rushing to my head except much louder. Unfortunately its never become a lucid :?
I've had audio, visual, tactile, and electric feeling. I usually have many hallucinations while hearing amplified wind noises and drum beats. As for tactile, I feel like I am free-falling sometimes.
Wow the different kinds of hallucinations seem pretty average across the board.
It's only happened to me once, but I had visual and sensed a weird presence.
Are the the visual hallucinations usually dark things? Shadows and demons and whatnot? I saw a floating embalmed corpse :paranoid:
If I could change my vote in the poll I would add audio and the electricity feeling. The only one I was sure of when I voted was the Suffocation/Difficulty Breathing. I have yet to have any tactile hallucinations or sense any presence.
Audio and electric feeling are by far the most two common for me. Visual effects don't really usually happen until I begin my lucid dream (in my room)
In the 2 SP's I've done, I've only had auditory hallucinations where it was mostly beeping. I've also felt my body become heavy and didn't feel some of my body which was fine since I knew that I was supposed to have this feeling. Last one I had took me an 1.5h to get to and my arm felt like it was floating :P
Could this possibly be sticky material in the new WILD section? It might be my chance at fame and fortune.
There's really no reason for it to be sticky'd. :\Quote:

You just shot down my fame and fortune faster then a fish in a barrel. It could possibly be stickied for "fun" where everyone has an input of their hallucinations, or for educational purposes.Quote:

Had all the above at one time of another, including one strong visual a while back of 3 little aliens.... So scary =O
It's a good thread but not sticky material. Something sticky material in this category would be more like "In depth tutorial on SP"... there prob is one I just don't pay attention anymore.
So earlier I said on here I get the suffocating feeling most....
Well, two nights ago I got this new one..... I turned on my side (I had just false awoke and then awoke IRL) and immedietly went back into SP...I laid there, going with it, and suddenly I felt these vibrations all over and then I began getting chills, like the kind you get that shake your whole body. It was nuts!
I usually have a person tapping my arm, making a faint tapping noise. Although, when I wear my ear plugs I just hear white noise.
One time music began to play! aha>
^ ^ any good music??? :D
OK, so I don't know if it was because I posted on here yesterday but this morning I had some pretty wierd hallucinations...
I had woken up to use the restroom and went back to bed but I was in a light sleep because I knew my alarm would go off soon. So I'm lying there, thinking about having an impromptu WILD and I fall into SP. I feel my throat closing in and I have to swallow but I can't! I can't even move my toungue. I try going with it but I woke myself up because the feeling was quite uncomfortable to say the least.....
I turned on my side now and as I closed my eyes I immiedietly went into SP, this time I felt the numbess come over me and the vibrations, the HH was amazing; floods of light like curtains, the shades kept getting darker and darker, I saw images morphing into creatures into people, shapes.... Then I heard the radio turn on! It was a talk show, a lady and man were talking so clearly. I tried getting up, but I wasn't quite asleep and I woke myself up....
I get an electric feeling, accompanied by what sounds like babies crying and sometimes people yelling at me. I also feel heat and cold, and one saw the image of a dog behind my eyelids.
This reminds me, been meaning to ask if anyone has any ideas on dealing with SP for kids?
I used to have alot of SP when I was younger, like when I was 3 & 4. Infact, most of my earliest memories include those of SP, which in retrospect was terrifying at the time.
I picked other because i usually just can't move and the only time i hallucintated all that happened is I floated off the bed. :roll:
I feel scared, and feel something is in the room. I one time saw person in black robes till his head, couldnt see his face becasue his clothese coverd it, was hold something in his had that looked like a scythe, who banged the door open and slowly moved around the room without looking at me then stopped face to the right of me then turned his head and vanished...I was scared sh*tless, funny thing is he kinda looked lke the perfect image of death...
electric feeling and senced presence.
The vibration feeling, almost everyone feels while leaving the body. The feeling that something evil is in the room with me, is just something I have to get over.
I regularly experience sleep paralysis...a lot, and really not on purpose.
I get all those things-and a very wide range of them, except for difficulty breathing which I imagine to really really suck.
Knowing myself- I will tonight >.<
Last night I experienced a very intense audio hallucination, which I usually dont.
The sound of the water flowing into my aquarium has recently become louder since the water level has lowered...but what was weird is that I could hear that sound (the water trickling into the aquarium) but it was like there was a voice speaking through the water or it started to sound like a voice (hahah...wtf)... hard to explain. It repeated a phrase over and over. Unfortunately for you guys, I forget the phrase, but fortunately for me, I did because I remember it disturbing to the point of me smacking my head on the wall. -.-
Some colors and a leaden blanket , nothing exiting :c .
Necro'd :)Quote:
