Thread: newb - Slow wave sleep consciousness experience?

SWS is where you brain is cooling off. As far as I know, you can only keep on thought at a time. This being usually auditory.

Nothing to it. Nothing but black. You can't think, you're pretty much unconscious, you just recall some words.

Just to clarify, I'm not sure what these auditory/void dreams are either. When jarrhead explained them to me they sounded just like HH. I'm actually not sure what is going on in this thread.

Sounds like a good explanation, but there's no CONSCIOUS logic, no consciousness, nothing. You can stay conscious until you hit SWS, then regain it upon REM, as if you were to WILD outside of an REM period.

Try it tonight, I tried last night. Keep consciousness. Keep your mind BUSY. Make up another character or something and keep a conversation in your head. Once you hit SWS there's no way you'll be thinking.

It may be HH, but then, wouldn't the visuals of a dream just be organized HH?
Wouldn't the sounds be organized HH as well?

When I experience HH, it's nothing logical. It's ALWAYS flashes that are dangerous for those prone to seizures. I get strobe lights and such in my eyes. I get loud, high-pitched stuff. Rings, clanks, kids talking.

During SWS I'll get organized, little sentences. Things that make total sense. I've even had a dreamwhere it says "but it's only 1:15 AM" and i'll get woken up by a car outside, bam, 1:15 AM. Not saying it's anything supernatural.

Point is, HH is disorganized, dreams are not.

I'm confused, have you got an EEG? How do you know that you're getting into SWS?

You don't know for sure, but it should have been. I was 4 hours 15 minutes into sleep. Smack in the middle of what should be SWS

There are a zillion things that could throw that off; it's not enough to simply just go on timing if you want to talk about things at this level. All sorts of factors could determine what stage of sleep you could happen to be in. I'm also not sure what you mean by

there's no CONSCIOUS logic, no consciousness, nothing. You can stay conscious until you hit SWS, then regain it upon REM, as if you were to WILD outside of an REM period.

I'm by no means saying indeed 100% fact, but it's probably close.

It's not like any of us are going to experiment. Labs are nowhere near and these don't happen often enough.
