#hypnogogic hallucination

[distantlonersdreams]

A dream or hypnogogic hallucination where all of the search results for a Minecraft-related google search was about politics instead.

Last night, I crawled into bed and was about to plug in my devices and turn off my lamp so that I could go to sleep, but I accidentally drifted off before I could do so.

I had either a dream or a hypnogogic hallucination where I was back at my computer and playing Minecraft again. Just like I was at one point during the day, I was looking for quartz and was looking up if quartz only generates at certain Y levels. But for some reason there were only about 15 search results, and they were all full of pictures of old men in suits with American flags behind them saying political jargon that I don't understand.

The scenery was kind of switching rapidly, and there were voices saying "sociological, economical, [more similar sounding words that I don't know the meaning of (I wasn't even sure if "sociological" and "economical" were real words or if my brain made them up because I know so little about politics)]", and everything just seemed a lot more like a hypnogogic hallucination than a dream, which is why I think that's what it was. But it also seemed a lot like a dream due to the fact that it wasn't a completely jumbled mess. I think that it was a hypnogogic hallucination, and it's just a coincidence that I can find some sort of plot. Especially since I woke up so easily.

Wanna know what hypnogognic/hypnopompic hallucinations feel like? (At least for me)

This morning I was going back to sleep after waking up for no reason. My eyes were closed and then suddenly i saw an image of email notifications on my phone, one of them from my building's management company about my latest service request. I was going to open my eyes and check my notifications. But I was able to catch it and remind myself that those were dream emails and my phone was on do not disturb.

At our last place we had a doorbell and a neighbor who asked for our help a lot. I would hear phantom doorbells while falling asleep or waking up at least once a week and get startled awake by them.

I am so tired of the hallucination I hear before I fall asleep most days bc it’s a man’s voice… do u know how jarring it is to hear a man in your room before you fall asleep at like 1 am 😭 very jarring

good GOD when you realize you’ll never get to hear that song ever again

For some reason I have to go back and redo high school.

Things are on fire but everyone is chill about it and get offended when I point out things are on fire. My bad for harshing your vibes, I just thought we wanted to avoid property damage and death in this reality!

My sleep paralysis demon is staring at me and I can't move. It likes to hold down my legs if I'm having a full paralysis episode and I manage to open my eyes before the episode finishes.

Random tornado shows up to throw me around a bit

I'm alone in the Manassass Mall at night and the floor is falling and everything is collapsing in on itself

Teeth fall out (I think this is common though?)

everyone has dreams about being lost at school, late to work, cant find bathroom etc but whats yalls most common Uncommon stress dream. ill always have dreams about having various problems with my fish tank

God throwback to earlier this year when I hung out with some fairly new friends for a while and then they hit me with “so do you hallucinate…often?”

And I had to take stock of exactly which anecdotes I’d been telling because they certainly painted a picture huh

I motormouth when I’m nervous and I get nervous around people I don’t know very well, so I felt like I needed to caveat that I’m actually really boring I just have a history of being a bit of a weirdness magnet sometimes.

note to self: forgetting your antidepressants two days in a row is, in fact, not "fine."

Does anyone else hallucinate sounds or voices as they’re about to drift off to sleep?

Yesterday as I was trying to take a nap (completely alone in my apartment,) I heard two women speaking in hushed tones in my living room, saying stuff like…

“He’s sleeping in there now.”

“I know, I’m surprised too…”

“Well, we should probably do something about him, shouldn’t we?”

Needless to say I did NOT fucking fall asleep after that

[hellaephemeral]

right before i fall asleep i start dreaming but i know i am awake and i am still awake. it’s usually how i know i am close to falling asleep. it’s nothing spectacular, just vivid flashes of scenery like trees and forests or sounds of familiar voices but they’re echo-y and i know they’re not coming from anywhere. it’s different from “normal” hypnogogic hallucinations because it doesn’t feel ‘real’ or anything like that (and i have my eyes closed and all). it’s just like an beginning stage to dreaming kinda. or that’s what it feels like.

I might not actually be a secondary narcoleptic; it turns out that I might just be really bad at absorbing iron. There is also a chance that I am secretly both.

looks like the hallucinations want to keep me awake tonight 👍🏻
