It sounds more like some sort of post-dream hypnopompic imagery. Take a look at this (short) wiki article: Wikipedia on: Hypnogogic and Hypnopompic Imagery. |

A while ago, I had an experience where as I was coming out of a dream, my entire field of vision was filled with some sort of moving herringbone pattern and I couldn't move anything, yet seemed to be able to breathe and think normally. It didn't alarm me too much when it happened as I had read about SP, and I said to myself "just relax, it's normal, concentrate on waking up all the way", but for some odd reason I'm not sure if was a clear-cut case of one. As I was coming out, I found myself able to move again and the herringbone pattern gradually went away and I could see normally again. I had never read about people's entire line of vision being temporarily replaced by something like that, so has it happened to you? |

Ok, thanks. I just thought it was something different as that was basically all I could see, whereas in a SP state, you can see your surroundings except you see like an old hag sitting on you or something else. Sometimes, as i'm trying to stay awake and I snap awake after dozing off, I see the same thing, a sort of dark moving herringbone pattern, except as I come to, it seems to be a dark circle in the middle of my line of sight that gradually shrinks and then I can see normally. Does this happen to anyone else? Do my eyes 'turn off' when I sleep, or is that basically hypnogogic/hypnopompic imagery also? |
