Thread: Hello

hello everyone, let me start off by saying something about myself

If you haven't noticed by my name I am a total politics junky (especially political theory). Most of the message boards I join are for political discussion, tis' this reason why my name is out of place in this forum.

nevertheless, the reason why I joined is because there is a question in which I am searching for an answer. About five or so times when I was young (7-10 years old), I would wake up in the middle of the night and I would imagine these squares to be racing from the celling downwards at me. Even though I was awake and I knew these boxes weren't real when I would look up I still saw them. If I turned away and didn't look up, I would still imagine them, almost as if I could feel them crashing upon me from up above. This sensation would last anywhere from one to five minutes.

Is there a name for such a phenomena?

thank you

Welcome to DV!We've got a lot of cool discussions on politics, as well as all the dreaming information you'll ever need!

That sounds very much like HI, or Hypnagogic Imagery. Anyway, if you need anything else, feel free to ask or pm me! I hope you have a nice time here!!
