this kinda stuff keeps happening to me recently

[omgsh]

I keep seeing things but when i look its gone, and its like super convincing sometimes like i have a white cat and I always think its over somewhere and when i look its not there or it like moves away too fast. and this one time a few days ago, i was watchin tv and it seemed like a head was over to right of me like close to the farrest i could see right. and when i looked it seems like i saw it go down behind the couch. but i didnt see a face or anything just like a head. and like I always all of a sudden look somwhere cause i think i see somthing and it bugs me alot. I often think shadows are things too. A few nights ago I woke up and thought I was in sleep paralysis, My body felt like it was vibrating, and but i could control my self fully. but it was weird cause I swore I heard the kitchen sink running lol. and after a while when the SP feeling went away I still heard this sink sounds, It sounded EXACTLY like the sink, so i tried a RC but i wasnt dreaming. Was that sleep paralysis because I could control my self but I feel all vibrationy and it was weird.

Sounds like you're just hallucinating. The best thing you can do is NOT be afraid of them. If you are, that could make your hallucinations become worse. Sleep Paralysis is when your body becomes paraylized outside of REM sleep, so if you could still move yourself, then it was probably just another hallucination. I believe these are called Unusual Body Experiences.

[omgsh]

yea well I'm not scared of them because they're not real things, but its just bugging me because I always like look quickly to see it, but I don't try to its annoying. But I don't see why its constantly happing to me now, Just like a week ago it started happening like 20+ times a day.

[Dissociation]

did you sleep less than usual? or did you start any medication/drug? I never heard that hallucinations come from nothing. I hope you´ll get over with it soon, doesnt sound that nice to me.

[omgsh]

No, i've been getting about 8 hours of sleep almost every single night for the past few months. and i take melatonin to sleep.

You're into some kind of spiritual stuff then? Or meditating? Or wanting to see things? Not necessarily working at it I mean, but just taking a great interest. That happens, and I don't see anything wrong in your description. It's not like you're hallucinating or anything serious. It sounds like you're extremely anxious for some reason (and probably wanting for things to happen), so whatever slight peripheral movement gets interpreted by you slightly differently than normal. Had such stuff myself, it's going to disappear once you stop taking interest in it. Or you could try to strengthen it instead, but it's unlikely that you'll succeed, lol. These aren't real hallucinations, after all, they're only upheld by tension and it can't last forever.

Vibrating isn't normal for SP, it sounds like you were in a state that happens before an "OBE", in this case I guess you need to hear: "congratulations!" As for sounds, it's okay to hear real sounds while you're sleeping, our ears still work and can catch them.

I have a friend that is not psychic, crazy or anything weird; a very intelligent professional who sees faces, they happen just before falling asleep.

As for sounds, it's okay to hear real sounds while you're sleeping, our ears still work and can catch them. Vibrating is just a hallucination, and can most certainly happen during sleep paralysis. It's called an Unusual Body Experience. It doesn't mean that he's about to enter an OBE.

If I'm not mistaken, some people get vibrations when they enter SP or are in the pre-SP stage. Also, vibrations have NOTHING to do with OBEs at all I've heard a lot of vibrations which usually stem from when I'm tired or exhausted and I just got into bed

Every time I start vibrating I enter an OBE. I don't vibrate if it's a WILD. As for normal SPs, like during awakening from an LD, or during falling asleep (if WILD), I've never ever vibrated there. BigFan, are you sure that you aren't just failing to OBE? J\k. Well I really don't know how to explain our differences then. The only thing I can think of is that we're talking of two different kinds of vibrations. Or maybe I'm not so prone to them as you and don't have them normally. Can you describe your vibrations and how often they happen?

[omgsh]

well yesterday I kept seeing a dark head like look over at me from a door that was open like 20 feet away. And I'm not sure if it was cause there was some paper taped on the door. but it kept appearing like every 1 minute, but at first I almost thought it was someone but then I remembered it was probably nothing. And every time it would look around the door and when I looked it would pop its head behind the door too fast to see. Then one time I just tried not to look at it and stayed there and it really freaked me out, I mean my heart just started beating like crazy but I got up and some how was brave enough to prove to myself it was nothing at all. I looked behind the door, saw nothing, then I closed it. then a couple times I saw the same thing pop up behind my couch and I just tried to go to sleep even though it was like 3. But when I gave up I just started to use my computer and it stopped happening.

To be honest, I am still not sure if I classify OBEs as LDs or some other phenomenon, so, I can't say whether I am indeed failing to OBE. From what I heard, some people experienced vibrations in SP while others didn't just like some never see any hypnogogic imagery where others get really scary one, so, getting to and into SP is different for everyone. My vibrations, well, I feel like my back(mostly) is going up and down, that's the only way to describe it, not exactly the greatest description

[Shift]

Look up Pareidolia and 'shadow people' (look up shadow people keeping Pareidolia in mind). The latter part sounds like simple hypnagogic hallucinations.

[hellohihello]

I get this all the time, I thought I was just hallucinating.. well the first part that is. I just learned to not look, because I know there is nothing there. It's kind of hard though, when you see a head thing with a hand sneaking in your doorway.

[Arutad]

To be honest, I am still not sure if I classify OBEs as LDs or some other phenomenon, so, I can't say whether I am indeed failing to OBE. That's my predicament now. I always classified OBE as a kind of LD that starts with a feeling of separation from your own body. And in my experience there's always vibration, shaking, swirling, rolling, or something else in the body before the separation starts. I didn't notice this with anything else that wasn't followed by a separation feeling, so I assumed these sensations to be intrinsically connected with the sensation of separation and always present together. getting to and into SP is different for everyone. I don't know... SP is just a paralysis. It can be accompanied by pressure and visual hallucinations, but never I heard about a body being able to vibrate in SP. The central SP sensation is the body's motionlessness, after all. My vibrations, well, I feel like my back(mostly) is going up and down, that's the only way to describe it, not exactly the greatest description Haha Well just relax then and let them overtake you, because who knows, what if you could OBE this way?

I didn't notice this with anything else that wasn't followed by a separation feeling, so I assumed these sensations to be intrinsically connected with the sensation of separation and always present together. I used to classify OBEs as something totally different, but, the more I think about it, the more I think they are just an LD where you find yourself in your bed because that's the last thing your mind concentrated on. I don't know... SP is just a paralysis. It can be accompanied by pressure and visual hallucinations, but never I heard about a body being able to vibrate in SP. The central SP sensation is the body's motionlessness, after all. Yes, it is, but, for more people than not, it is accompanied by visual and auditory hallucinations. I've read somewhere on these forums, possibly the tutorial section that with SP, some people experience vibrations Haha Well just relax then and let them overtake you, because who knows, what if you could OBE this way? I don't really mind them at all, find them rather soothing, but, they usually stop or I drift off to sleep @omgsh From time to time, I'll had a similar thing where I think that I saw something from the corner of my eye, but, there is nothing there. I've never seen a head though If this is happening at night, it's probably just your imagination, but, as for during the day, not sure about it's cause

To be honest, I am still not sure if I classify OBEs as LDs or some other phenomenon, so, I can't say whether I am indeed failing to OBE. OBE's = Lucids in my book. I had a few wilds where, once I get out of the SP I'm in my bedroom. As I walk through my flat I start to notice little and then significant changes from reality. Pretty shortly thereafter Im in a fairly typical lucid dream. in my view, as with all dreaming, its driven by expectations. If you expect to be a invisible ghost travelling through the real world, you will be. If you expect to be godzilla stomping a city, you will be.

in my view, as with all dreaming, its driven by expectations. If you expect to be a invisible ghost travelling through the real world, you will be. There are people who had OBEs without knowing a single thing about them or lucid dreams at all, for that matter. They couldn't expect anything. Sure OBE is a type of a lucid dream, but it's not about expectations initially. It's probably connected to some physical conditions, like SP that people with certain ill conditions tend to have.

Even if you've never heard of OBE's, when you're lying in bed and find yourself experiencing SP and entering a dream, wouldn't you expect to sit up in your bedroom?

Even if you've never heard of OBE's, when you're lying in bed and find yourself experiencing SP and entering a dream, wouldn't you expect to sit up in your bedroom? That's what I think too. But not all people who experience SP experience OBEs. Besides it's possible to have an in-dream OBE without expectations involved (in a normal dream, not lucid). If it happens you start feeling those sensations in your body while you're still right in the dream, then you wake up from it briefly just to have an OBE. Expectations can only explain why you think that you're in your room, but they can't explain how and why this special type of LD occurs.

Let's get back on topic here. Let me say, the best way would probably be to try and just ignore it. For some people, though, other ways might work. Some people might try yelling at whatever it is to go away, or even asking it (depending on how spiritual or superstitious you are). I can tell you I've had the same kind of experiences. One morning, out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw a pair of black (as in shadow black) legs walking. I turned and they were gone. Then, in the bathroom, I saw somebody else looking at me through the mirror. It was my brother's birthday balloon that had drifted over into the view of the mirror. By this point, I was fully expecting to see more of them. That's why, for the final time, I saw a black blur move by me. At that point I realized it was all in my head and they went away. Now, if you still have problems with it, I recommend a therapist. They should be able to help you.
