For as long as I can remember, every time im laying down to go to sleep i hear noises of random people in my life saying the randomest things. i also get weird thoughts like, just random random stuff. And the weird part is i don't realize my mind is creating these thoughts or sounds until after I hear them. Im not schizophrenic or anything I believe it may just happen because im falling into a dream but Id like to ask if anyone else experiences this?
Yeah I get that sometimes. I get images sometimes with it too. I dunno what it is I guess its just the brain preparing for sleep or something.Quote:

Congratulations, you get fun and distinct hypnagogic hallucintions. :)
Check out HIT, might be right up your alley.
On the "Tetris effect" from the wiki article Shift linked,
Feeling like i'm rocking slowly back and forth has been a common phenomenon after coming home from a good swim in the ocean. This effect also occurs in between sleep cycles for me, and isn't limited to the feeling of waves pushing and pulling, but happens after experiencing a stimulus for a long period of time. A long day of biking or watching a particular martial arts series makes me feel like I'm moving in ways similar to those of the activity being perceived. I do not, however, experience visual or auditory hallucinations. I wonder what that must be like for you.Quote:
This can also occur to people who have travelled on a small boat in rough seas, or swum in waves, shortly before going to bed, and they "feel" the waves as they drift to sleep
mmm adaptation <3
Forgot to mention that I also hear strange voices sometimes, most often though I'll get strange photograph-like hallucinations of random things. The other night I kept seeing different houses like I was flipping through a slideshow or something. My somatosensory hallucinations are usually things like the buzzing, sinking, or a weird rolling/pitching forward feeling.
I get the sinking feeling too,
I also get these weird hallucinations before going to sleep as well.
I freakin hate when I hear screams in my head at night, freaks the living daylights out of me! :shock:
I get cool and beautiful piano noises.
wow piano music? sometimes i hear bloody screams and loud footsteps. once i got caught up in sleep paralysis, and the screams and voices got louder and louder. at the time i didnt know what was happening, and was seriouly frightened soo bad i didnt want to ever go back to sleep. i thought i was being haunted by demons or something.
I also get hynogogic hallucinations occasionally while slipping into sleep-- the audio ones are usually indecipherable fragments of female voices talking or laughing. Once I heard my mother's voice calling my name (must have hallucinated it, since she lives several hundred miles away). I've also heard a loud slamming door or exploding sound.
The visual ones are typically very vivid, static images, like the varied textures of a rock wall that I can examine slowly and carefully. I tend to appreciate the "artistic" qualities of these images and they create a profound contemplative mood.
Similar to me,Quote:

yeah, me included... it seems to happen a lot more than the visual kind... music is amazing, but I can never pick out a tune or beat. its really odd.
Hehe, sorry. I guess I'm a little lucky. I also hear electronic voices, feel cool breezes, and occasionally, fall through my bed. (Awesome!)Quote:

that's pretty common. A lot of people here can relate to that.
Well yea, I think pretty much everyone experiences those. I always get them as I'm falling asleep ...weird voices ...dumb conversations ...loud bangs ...sometimes it's so ridiculous and random it wakes me up, lol.
It's funny how I NEVER experience these things during my WILD attempts, when I'm not aware I hear and see all that crap, and once I snap back it all disappears. I wish I could experience that and actually be aware of it.
I am aware of it every night :DQuote:

Never get much for imagery other than white stars. Not sure if it's my mind playing tricks with me or me hallucinating.
I once heard a saxophone noise really super loud, like it was next to my ear.
This one time I was sleeping at a friend's house, watching it for them while they were away on vacation. I could swear I heard pitter patter of small feet outside my bedroom door. Later I figured out that the sound I heard was actually my heartbeat inside my head combined with the sound of my ear moving the tiniest bit against my pillow - also due to my heart beating.
As for the weird images and stuff, yeah I get that. Sometimes like slideshows, sometimes almost full dreams going on, but always just random bullcrap. It's never been scary though, I hope it doesn't ever get that way.
