I've tried searching but its so hard for me to explain it. Hopefully somebody else knows what this is that I am experiencing. I know there has to be more people because I have a friend who has told me he has the same exact experiences. |

When you have a high fever, enzymatic action all over your body begins to slow or fail all-together (this is a reason why people die from hyperthermia; enzymes fail to function at high temperatures). |

When I was ten I had the worst case of the flu I have ever had. I was in the worst amount of pain, each day slipped into the next as I sat in my room. All I can remember is this image of some sort of ominous castle with a winding road going up to it. I just watched... I am really sorry, just thinking about it in this much detail is hurting me. PM me if you want the rest of the story. |

I'm thinking it is mild delirium, most obviously, but it also sounds like, as people have said, a drug trip. But not mushrooms or salvia, cough syrup. It sounds ALOT like what happens when I drink too much cough syrup and go to bed. For me, it's a little different, when I'm in the hypnagogic/hynapompic state I lose the ability to think objective thoughts and become lost in a terrible abyss of abstract confusion. I begin to think in shapes (like with you) like blobs or fibers in my case. So anyway, do you drink cough syrup? I was thinking cuz your sick and all when this happens... |

As the cusp said earlier ... try this link, its an interesting read at the least. A lot of people seem to be sharing similar experiences: |

I'm currently sick myself, and i keep having very strange dreams, I usually never dream vividly enough to remember them, but since I became Ill on Friday I can remember them almost as clear as day. I currently work for a school corporation in the IT department. In my dream last night, I walked into the high school from a rear emergancy exit that no one uses, and as soon as i stepped inside, I was back as a student in my senior year. The halls were crowded and i had to walk around messes of OLD OLD OLD tech parts and spec sheets laying on the ground. I tryed to walk past an "African American" student but he wouldn't move. (I live in the north and our schools are VERY white.... so it was kind of strange to see) I had to shove him out of the way to get past him .... then some white kid who was all "ghetto'd out" was talking trash to me and for some reason I automatically knew he was a freshman and slammed him into the lockers to get him out of the way. I walked twards the office and this kid kept yelling things at me, and i just kept walking. When i got to the door, it was like the office at a vocational school that I went to in my Jr. year. I opened the door and my elementary school principal was standing there along with my mother all dressed up for work, the same way it had been when my Uncle had overdosed and died. That damn'd freshman kept yelling taunts, (and with my anger the way it is) I went after him, but someone was holding me back. I turned and looked and it was my mom and the principal. I cant remember the rest. I then woke up and thought it was Tuesday and started freaking out that I had to turn in some VERY important paper work that was due in on Monday, I started having a panic attack and then realized it was; Only Monday. (which was my impossible task) |

My sister said that when she was really sick, she used to hallucinate dead cats being hung by the neck on our clothes line |

Yes I had those fevers when I was a kid. It was like the texture, creases and folds of the blankets were uniquely dry and insideous, and time was slowed down, it was a darkend pale ethereal torture. Then I would hallucinate a going to the bathroom for an hour. During this time it felt like I was drugged. My field of view warped to and fro. Then the torture of my covers would commence again. The cycle would continue. During these experiences I was provided with tidbits from the future, for example, a future bathroom facility I would use, and the knowledge of certain meshes in Metroid Prime 2 (Metroid Prime wasn't even developed yet.) |

I don't think I ever let my fevers get that bad... the worst was last year when I had pneumonia, but even then I just lay shivering in my bed for like 3 days straight until I finally made myself take freezing showers, and the doctor got me some hardcore meds. Never hallucinated because of it Although I did have a crazy as hell "hallucination" (but I am 99% sure it was a false awakening) that there was a supernova outside my bedroom window (even though the blinds were down in RL). The drug said it could cause hallucinations so I don't even know what happened over those days. |

Omg!! Thats exactly how i feel when i get a bad dose of the flue or a bad fever and wake up in the middle of the night (Bar the future bit, lol). I never really knew how to explain it though, but thats very well said ! I also get the impossible task thing, talked about in the first post. It doesn't happen as often now, because when it starts happening I'm able to pull myself out of it by telling myself I've woken up and there's nothing to be frightened of. I then generally take a drink of water, and try to get back to sleep. |

Yes, at the time the emotions were hard to describe as well, but eventually I could describe them. That's the thing about dreams, the emotions, and sometimes the content of them can be difficult to transform into words. But all in all the fevers were a good thing. After they were over I was very happy, almost like a high. I'm not a fan of over-the-counter medications, so it's a good thing I didn't take many. |

I've had this kind of hallucination too. Usually i wake up in the middle of the night, and something runs over and over and over in my mind, when i have a fever. Usually i end up passing out in the middle of the floor, while trying to get some water. |

I just got over a bought with flu. I laid in bed for three days with a high fever and mostly just slept. But when I awoke I had (and still have) the most peaceful feeling. When I was asleep it was almost like I left my physical body which was in pain and went somewhere else. Somewhere safe where I felt secure and loved and peace. I dont know what it was but a three day vacation in fever land is something I could use once in awhile. |

HAS ANYONE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE BEFORE?? I only remeber having this frightening dream as a child, and maybe once or twice in my early teens. It was only when I was delerious with fever. I had a reoccuring dream that I was in a big cave, and there were horrible terrifying loud noises, like quick bursts of harsh yelling. Then a HUGE MASSIVE BOULDER came voilently rolling towards me as if to crush me. It was SO LOUD, SO VIOLENTLY LOUD and so frieghtening. The Boulder somehow didn't crush me and went away. All of a sudden it was DEAD SILENCE, like a VACUUM, THEN out of the ground over which the boulder had just rolled, a tiny, delicate, innocent little blade of grass sprouts up, with a little flower on it. It was almost as if it was supposed to be a sign of relief, like the sprout of grass was symbolizing "its ok, dont worry". But then the fear came back instantly, because I knew that the tiny little blade of grass could do absolutely nothing to protect me if that boulder was to return. It was a horrible, helpless, miserable and frightening feeling. |

That sound very much like the hallucinations I have every time I have high fever! The difference is that in mine there is no "scene" (the cave you were talking about), it's more abstract and it's not a boulder but it's round, sometimes it's falling, sometimes it feels like it's pushing against me and sometimes I get some sort of task-feeling that I have to move it, but that's impossible because it feels like it's as heavy as planet earth itself. And there is a ton of noise, it's something like a crowd of people talking, violently loud, and everyone is bashing me. Suddenly everything turns silent and calm. And then there is that thin and tiny thing (the flower you mentioned), for me it doesn't come out of the ground, instead it just appears out of nowhere, mostly in my hand and it's tiny and very thin but oddly it's extremely heavy as for it's size. Then there is a voice trying to calm me, it's friendly, opposite to the crowd, but it's VERY loud. And suddenly the gigantic thing comes back together with all the noise and continues for something that feels like forever. The hallucination isn't always the same for me (Depending on where I am experiencing it (Mostly it starts by waking me up and I end up standing beside my bed, semi-conscious. But sometimes it occurs while in the bathroom, while preparing to go to bed.)), but it always has the same "basics", the gigantic round thing, the noise, the tiny thing and the calming voice. And it always ends up with the fear, the noise and the gigantic thing coming back. |

Hi all, |
|
Sorry to reply to such an old thread but I felt I had to. A couple of years ago, I had bowel cancer surgery and post surgery, developed MRSA. I spiked a temperature of 104 and was delirious. I too had that terrible restless feeling that there was something I had to finish and was apparently gibbering 'have...to...finish...it...dying..' And remember being tortured by the lines on the heart monitor, the shapes seemed to hurt my head, again, the crisp folds on the hospital sheets were agony, when I closed my eyes I could see lines travelling towards each other from opposing directions and when they met, there were green flashes of light and agonising pain in my head, My whole body was shaking in what the doctors called a rigor. It was an awful experience. I was unconscious on life support for 3 weeks following that but recall vivid dreams of the pattern of the heart monitor tracer, green triangles and the lines crashing together mixed with my families voices and music. Obviously, I recovered, but since then, whenever I have a fever, those images and that 'restless, unfinished' feeling returns. It is quite awful. I take paracetamol at the first hint of a raised temperature as I am so nervous of it happening again... Not sure if I am happy or saddened to find others with similar stories. Obviously something uniform must happen to certain human brains at certain temperatures or with certain viruses/infections. |

Sorry to reply to such an old thread but i just felt that i had to. During my childhood i have had about 5-6 of these dreams but only when i had a high fever. It was the exact same dream, to this day i still remember it clearly. whenever i got a fever i would always go to my parents bedroom to rest. |
