Hallucinations

Post by XaLEv »

Share your hallucination stories.

I occasionally hallucinate when I am tired, so far sound only. I have two instances of this that I can remember at the moment. The first time, a few months ago, I was asleep in bed and I heard the phone ring. It woke me up, and I began heading towards the dining room to pick it up. It kept ringing all the way, but when I picked up the handset there was just a dial tone, and all the caller IDs said that no one had called. The second time was just a little while ago. I was sitting on my bed eating a hot dog and listening to the radio, when I heard music from Metroid 2 playing, seemingly from nowhere. My Gameboy and GBA were sitting about a meter away, but both were unpowered and empty.

A couple times when I've overexhasted myself, I've seen and heard things. People's faces, clips from movies running over and over, old songs, things like that.

Nothing cures you of Halliscinations like the shit they put you through during SEAL Training

I however never went through that :P

However I did use the Home Version which roughly consists of going into the woods for Six hours starting at 10PM till you can't hear ANYTHING and siting with you back to a true


You will imagin some werid shit for the first few times but ususaly by the sixth trip or so your start becoming skeptical of all the phatom horros you keep imagining

Normaly you can tell when your good when during Hour 4 your wishing you COULD met said Phatom horros if only to make the night a bit more intresting :D

A few things I imagined out there

1. Elvis/Sintra Duet
2.Workmen building Railroad(Plus Engine Noises)
3. Wolves(Despite a distinct 50 Year absance from our region)
4. Monkeys/Gorrillians/Jungle Noises despite it being roughly 40*F and me with my back to pine trees and oak leaves around me

Thats just the top four :P

LOL, Bean--you crack me up! :D

As for my hallucinations, I can only think of one at the moment. A few weeks ago I was lying in bed (on the 2nd floor) and I swear I heard what sounded like a guy sighing, very loudly, outside my bedroom window. I heard that same exact sound eight times in a span of a few minutes. In order for someone to actually have done this, he would have to have been perched on my roof, and although this is certainly possible, it is highly unlikely. I told myself this, but it didn't really help--a few years ago I was stalked for a period of four months, and occasionally get creeped out with stuff like this still. I was sufficiently freaked enough to steal a bat from the hall closet and keep it next to my bed the rest of the night.

Hmm, I just picked up my cat and he smells like men's cologne. Either 1) I am imagining it (ie: hallucinating), or 2) someone's been trying to mack on my cat.

Both options are fairly disturbing; one more so than the other, though.

This happened last year, when I shared a dorm with a bastard roommate.

This was one night, really early in the morning (like 3-5 AM), and involves my roommate who, as usual for him, had returned earlier that night pissed-ass drunk.

So he gets out of bed, walks across the room to the door area (which is kinda boxed in between the wall and the closet section wall) and urinated in the doorway. Then he just went back to bed.

It was so "real" that I swear to God that it could have happened. I even checked the door area when I got up later that morning to see if there was anything there (which there wasn't).

I wasn't sleeping much then and was having a lot of stress from college deadlines, so those might have caused it.

I once got mega lost biking in the woods at night up at my friend's cottage. My lights had run out after a bit over an hour and I was somewhere in the middle of a huge forest at night. I'll say this, it gets pretty dark away from the city, and the moon was blocked out by all the trees. Did I mention that there's wolves and foxes in this forest among other things? Well, when you can hear footsteps and snapping twigs you can get pretty paranoid. Did I mention I was completely lost, and that the forest was huge? I kept thinking that all the animals were out to get me, and being pitch black I couldn't bike all that fast, combined with the fact that I was lost I was freaking out pretty good. At one point I thought I was being chased by a Sasquatch. Those were the longest 2 hours ever in my life, I eventually made it to a traintrack and followed that to a road, and got out of the forest.

I personally have never had hallucinations, but one guy I knew once told me that when he was little his dad described to him an execution device called the Wheel, which involves breaking all the major bones in the body with a giant wheel then threading the victim's limbs through the spokes and hanging him out to die.

Well, this guy got a fever and he told me that once when he woke up from sleep there was a giant wheel in the air trying to crush him. That was his hallucination.

When i was like nine or so, I saw a reddish brown spider the size of a cat emerge from some high grass about 50 meters down the trail I was hiking on. Don't know if it was a hallucination or an animal of some sort but it scared the warm, brown and stinky out of me.

I had a real bad case of bronchitis in high school. I was home for a week, so I red Red Storm Rising.

One night I tossed and turned all night unable to break out of a bad dream where I was on a 688 sub and we were being attacked left and right by Soviet subs. My sub even went up some river to hide, but the subs kept comming.

It seemed so real, even if it was unrealistic, that for a few seconds I actually thought I was a sailor and not a sophmore in high school.

While sleep depping at one point I began to have hallucinations while watching the TV. The images seemed to be coming out of the screen, blah blah blah, lines between reality distorted.... All fun.
