Craziest or most terrifying Hypnogogic Hallucination

[HawkeyeTy]

Didn't really know where to post this, as it is a part of Lucid Dreaming. What is the scariest or craziest Hypnogogic Hallucination You've ever had? I've had one where I was laying on my stomach, and I felt something about the size of Gollum from Lord of the Rings crawling on my back, then it took it's nails and slowly, softly scraped them down my back, then hissed in my ear and scared me out of SP.

The only remotely scary SP situation I have ever been in was when I felt something the size of a large spider drop down on my head and crawl through my hair and towards my face. I wasn't so much scared as cautious, because it was actually possible, as I have an elevated bed quite close to the roof. I knew it was probably HH but I didn't want to risk it

My scariest hallucination was the feeling of a buzzsaw being lowered into my stomach, while I was trying what I think was called a WILD. It didn't hurt but it just felt like I was numbed out, and I could feel the vibrations from it... Coming from inside my abdomen! Needless to say, I'm never lying on my back to leave my stomach exposed for that again! My other hallucinations are wayyy more tame, which is a relief.

I knew it was probably HH but I didn't want to risk it I still would have freaked out, I hate spiders!! I had HH like that when I was a kid. Always woke my parents up screaming lol My scariest hallucination was the feeling of a buzzsaw being lowered into my stomach, while I was trying what I think was called a WILD.

Damn that sounds terrifying lol I don't really have HH anymore, when I attempt to WILD. It's pretty strange. lol

Here's a hint: The worst thing about it is that he kept telling me he was real. At first I couldn't convince myself that it was all in my head. This is the only time in my life that I can remember being scared fucking shitless. It's weird because I don't scare easily, and I've definitely never been scared of Freddy Krueger, but I sure was scared that night. I eventually got it through to myself that he wasn't real and he went away. Freddy's also appeared in 2 of my LD's, but I wasn't scared at all. Had a strange conversation with him in fact, not as big of an a-hole as you might think. I haven't tried the WILD technique since I saw Freddy though. I mean, who's next? Michael Myers? While I'm thinking about it, here's an article about a lucid dreamer's encounter with Freddy Krueger, reminds me of mine kinda: http://oneironeer.wordpress.com/2011...reddy-krueger/

HH are the beginnings of dreams so if you are conscious during that time, it is subconsciously your control - You can influence these things.. try it

Pretty creepy lol Pfft, forget Michael or Freddy, it's Santa Claus that you should be afraid of. xD HH are the beginnings of dreams so if you are conscious during that time, it is subconsciously your control - You can influence these things.. try it Hm, that Sounds about right. HH are pretty much the dream world and the real world kind of meshed together. I'll give it a try sometime though.

During SP, I felt the presence of a demonic midget from hell and back pressing down on my chest, and making my breathing difficult. Maybe it was a genetically inferior version of the Incubus.

I was sleeping in a outdoor setting in an area with lots of campers. I had woke a bit, so I was in the half sleep stage of HHs. I heard a woman screaming. I thought, no, it must be HH, and tried to ignore it. She kept screaming and got more intense. I decided I had to wake up right away and find out if someone was hurt. As soon as I really woke, I realized the sound was just my mind twisting the sound of my girlfriends breath. The screams were so intense I was really frightened that something terrible had happened.

Being that the outside world can influence the dream world, it would make sense that it can also affect HH. You could really mess with someones head that way lol

The craziest was when I was attempting WILD and fell a little bit too deep and lost conciousness but.. I was still kinda awake. I started to crawl in my bed and then a scream was travelling out from my body and i could feel this. I screamed very loud and twisted around my head in ways that would normally break my neck and finally I became a demon of some sort. It was like a full transformation to a demon. Although after that I became lucid and flew out my window. So it was good.

I really haven't had a sleep paralysis experience since I was younger in my teens. Eerily, most of the time I wasn't even paralyzed. I woke up once to a gaping wound in the back of my wrist. I even touched it, but felt nothing but my skin, and went back to sleep. Woke up to see my bedsheets a different pattern. Blue with white polka dots. Saw a camera pointed down straight at me on a tripod, positioned right on top of me over my chest. Above that was a stop sign stuck in my ceiling. Not so scary as it was utterly startling and violating. Saw an old booze bottle on the coffee table with an amiable looking miniature skeleton riding it. Massive spider crawling up the wall. Wasn't afraid, though. And I think the last hallucination I ever had was of a smiling demon spinning around in my computer chair. I don't know why I wasn't driven insane by all those hallucinations. Definitely grew out of them, though. I hope.

I don't really have HH anymore though for some reason. Which makes it difficult to do WILDs.

Uuh I've told you about my craziest one, let me tell you about my scariest one. This was before I knew what sleep paralysis was and when I woke up in the night I saw my sheets being curved to a ball and placed right under my door. I WTF'd to this occuring and just went up to get it back because i was cold. So I wake up again after a while and the sheets are in the same position as before, this time I got a little scared because the door is really about 4-5 feet away from my bed so it couldnt have been me unconciously throwing it there in my sleep, if it would have been me, I would have gotten to get up and place it there, and also curve it to a ball. Anyway, I just got it back and went to sleep again. Then I wake up again after a while and guess what? It's back there... This time I was scared to shit, I was on my way to shit myself, I've never been that scared in my life so I decided to go sleep in my mothers bed(my dad was at work) So I go to sleep there and I wake up after a while and I realise I can't move for shit.. The previous events had scared me enough but this, I had no idea wtf to do and I started to feel like something was going to approach me, and I fought for my live to move, and eventually, I moved my arm slowly and my scream began to sound like a loud exhale. And then I could move again. I'm still wondering and the conclusion I've come to with my current knowledge is that those wakeups were probably FA's... and the later was a classic SP.

Glad I don't have FA's.. I'd find them pretty annoying lol But I have had the classic wake up to sp and couldn't move, it scared me shitless. haha

My sister told me that this was a hypnogogic hallucination and suggested that I write it down: I was woken up by my sister and I heard her talking to me. She was trying to take me away from my "Zjehpan", which is "Japan" but I was saying it in a french accent for some reason. I was hugging my "zjehpan" tightly. It was made out of watermelon and it was mine. Even though she was trying to take it, I was the happiest little bug in a rug. I can't describe the easygoing joy I felt at having my zjehpan in my arms. Then I heard my sister speaking again and she asked, "Japan?" And I answered, "zjehpan". This went on for a while back and forth because she couldn't understand what zjehpan was. I knew exactly what it meant and I thought that she should know too. I told her that if she were to come closer, she would try to eat it and I couldn't have that.

Yeah I was confused as fuck But it also kind of scares me when I wake you into a hallucination One of my not too favorable hypnogogic hallucinations was I woke up laying on my back, I looked to my left are and saw my skin totally jell-o'ing out, like doing the wave, and then I saw my Julian mask slowly rise up from beside my bed and arm and it had it's head a little angled just staring at me. I experienced no fear during this hallucination but afterwards when my mind was collected I was only slightly creeped out, but more so amused. Later I saw that my Julian mask was still in the corner of the room.

Felt like a giant spider was crawling on me and another time felt like a needle was piercing my skin(I hate needles!) Last month with my almost successful WILD, furniture was glowing a black and dark green color.
