Special Gift Or Fcuked Up Brain Posted: 10-09-05 17:07pm
This is my first time on one of these
medical forums so here goes, I will try
not to ramble on like a mad man.
I have looked at other peoples postings
and have not seen anything which is
similar to my own unique problem.
I am 25 years old and at around aged 21-23
suffered terrifying sleep paralysis
episodes. I saw things that are not for
the faint hearted. My soloution was to
wear a sleep mask and move house, which to
be fair worked. It is now 2 years since
my last serious sleep paralysis episode.
The secret I think is not being able to
see your surroundings for the brain to
interact with and create a
hallucination.
My sleep problem evolved and moved into
something very fascinating. This is the
ability to form a crystal clear
hallucination at the onset of sleep. The
brain just seems to kick in and tell me I
am still awake and then the hallucination
fades. This is coupled with prolonged
talking in my sleep and feeling I have
found out some big life secret only to
wake up the next day and not remember a
damn thing.
It sounds crazy but sometimes I feel I am
in a different world when these things
happen and that I really am talking to
someone. I am baffled how my brain can
manifest such a clear hallucination of a
certain place. Sometimes it can be
negative and I can feel such intense
feelings of dread and doom, which for
someone who is light hearted in waking
life can be really strange. Has anyone
else experienced this??

I've had the same experience. Not with
the dread and doom feelings though.
Although I have felt those but just not at
the same time I was having some
hallucinating, enlightening experience.
I've been studying neuropsychology so it's
not really surprising to me that the brain
does this cause I read all these examples
of crazy stuff happening but I do find it
interesting. That's why I study it :) one
time I even wrote a whole song out in my
head in a deep dream. Notes and music. I
even reviewed the whole thing in my mind a
few times. It was beautiful and sounded
great. Then I woke up and poof and I go
back to struggling to get my flute to just
make a sound.

Since you talk out loud in your sleep try
putting a voice activated tape recorder
next to your bed...Maybe if you knew what
you were saying you can decipher who you
are talking to.
I often don't sleep for days on end, and
most meds don't work on me.
Even if I do fall asleep I often wake up
10-15 minutes after and then can't go back
to sleep!
Sometimes I wake up crying and sobbing and
can't remember what I dreamed about!
