I todk some ambien for my severe insomcnia. I avoid drugs when at all possible, but my insomnia is so severre sometimes that I have in fact gone 7 days straight witihout sleep. When hta happens sleeping pills are very imortant -- I don't want to push that 11 days wihout sleep before the subjecct died record, after all!
ANywaay. The pills are kicking in as evidenced by my typing skills, bwhich is pretty hard to do and here is the interestng part abot why it is so difficutl. It is because I am currenly hallucinating that my compurter screen is breathing and moving and changing sizes. and somme of the windows are not content o sit on the screan but are hovering and moving awya! and the workds as I type are falling through the cracks!

ahs anyone hear had some ineresting hallucinations>? I've had a few good ones, but have neever posted during one befreo. I really sholf go to sleep now, though! I can share more of my crzy hallouciinatioons while not in their grips>
 
I wouldn't worry too much about it... your cute even when you aren't all there. :techman:

You should trade in those hallucinations for some nice dreams.
 
You wrote me such a nce pm and I relaivzed tha t even though I read it and really appreciated it , I forgot to respond! I'm soryr ! I'm a bad person! It was schc a nice PM tooo.
 
My doctor prescribed morphine for pain and to help me sleep. I've been seeing what looks like little fireflies darting around my peripheral vision after taking it, and not the cool kind of fireflies with Mal and Jane and Kaylee.

It's kind of neat looking in a "I don't think all this Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds crap should be happening" kind of way, and it certainly does knock me the hell out, but it's a bit too much for me and makes me very dizzy.

I've got another appointment in a couple days to try and get something else, but I have bad reactions to a lot of medications.
 
I can't ever recall experiencing visual hallucinations. I seem to be pretty clued in with the world, even when hepped up on pills.

Most hallucinations I experience tend to be auditory, hearing noises or very brief shouts that aren't there, usually when very tired or sleep deprived.

My very first experience of sleep paralysis occurred following great fatigue - I was 21 and had just returned from a long haul flight from New Zealand, had my sleep disrupted, and I imagined having an out-of-body experience - at the time t seemed like one big hallucination.

I agree with Shaw that I'd rather have nice dreams than active hallucinations.


Oh, and get better soon, tsq - although I have to admit your posts in this thread so far have been hilarious. ;)
 
Get well soon TSQ, you seem like a nice person.

In Army Basic Training, I used to have Hallucinations at night all the time. It's amazing, but they seemed to be very common, as other people would do the same thing.

What happened is we would imagine that a drill sergent had come in the middle of a night and ordered a formation. We would then jump out of bed and stand in the center of the room at attention. of course the only problem is that you would be shaken by the fireguard, who would tell you to go back to sleep. yes, you were the only one standing there, in the dark. It felt so real though . I remember being shaken by the fireguard once, and just saying "yes, drill sergent!" to which he laughed and said "I'm not a drill sergent."

obviously we were under a lot of stress.:lol:
 
If I've been awake for a long time, I start seeing moving shadows in my peripheral vision. It usually starts around 40 hours, and gradually increases in frequency and intensity. Maybe once every thirty minutes in the beginning, and every few minutes at 72 hours, which is the longest I've been awake.

I also start hallucinating when my temperature reaches 103 degrees, which has happened to me twice. They're a lot more vivid. The first time, this dwarf-looking guy with a long white beard showed up and told me he'd spin straw into gold for me if I could guess his name. I remembered hearing something similar to this before, so I guessed his name was Rumpelstiltskin. I didn't have any straw or a spinning wheel, so I asked him if he could do anything with a bag full of yard waste and a sewing machine. He said no and left.

About an hour later, I saw one of those gray aliens holding some sort of device that looked like a dildo with a bunch of spikes and rotating blades attached to it. He told me telepathically that, as soon as I fell asleep, that device was going in my butt. I told him that I was definitely not going to sleep then. Since he had nothing to do until I fell asleep, I convinced him to play Go Fish. I made him leave when I caught him cheating.

Another time I had a fever, I heard a knock on my door. When I answered, there was a Jem'hadar standing there and about fifty more in my yard. He asked me if I had accepted The Founders as my personal gods, and also demanded that I give them "white." I explained that I didn't have any ketricel white, and also that it wasn't a real thing. He said: "Oh, we don't use that stuff anymore. 'White' means toilet paper now. We need TP. For our bungholes." I told him I was on my last roll and really couldn't spare any. So then he appologized fot bothering me and all of them left. I actually had four or five rolls of toilet paper at the time, but I didn't want to give any to the Jem'hadar because I was pretty sure they were going to use it to vandalize things.
 
i once took shrooms and was chattin on IM on my phone while messin around on pc. the letters where moving and changing size. i looked at my cuboard and the wood pattern on it was also moving... O_<
 
I have constant hallucinations. I see weird things out of the corner of my eye, I see small orbs at night when it's dark and I once saw a kid standing in the middle of the road, holding a ball and looking at me, I turned away for a split second and then back and he was gone. Either I'm crazy or my house is haunted :lol:

Fortunately, that's an urban legend. A high school student achieved that while conducting an experiment, but decades later is still alive and well. The Guinness book states the record currently stands at over 18 days.

There has never been a recorded death of a human being due to lack of sleep.
 
i took shrooms once. after i was on a IM on my phone while messin around on my pc and the letters where moving n changing size. when i looked at my cupboard the wood pattern was moving.

I get that, too. I need to be awake for a lot less than 40 hours, though!

Best trip I had was on Morphine. There was a large, shimmering purple dinosaur at the foot of my hospital bed. It was so large that I could only see one scale. :lol:
 
I accidentally got high off carpet cleaner I used in my college room. It was small and I had closed up the windows. At one point I was talking to my desk fan, which was on my desk chair about whether I should open a window because the can said something about ventilation.

When I was about 10 I got quite ill and feverish. One night my curtains turned into a giant tetris board and I played the game to take up time as I couldn't sleep.
 
I've never had visual hallucinations that I can recall, not even when I've been on morphine or oxycodone.
I do get auras though, which I put down to hypoxyia, but after googling it I'm not sure I'm right...
 
I think I'm seeing a tsq drunkl Thread, but I must be hallucinating. :rommie:

Unfortunately, I've never had a real hallucination-- I imagine it must be pretty cool, like a lucid dream (which I do have from time to time). The closest I've ever had is emotional hallucinations from Percocet; that stuff makes me all agitated and paranoid-- I was almost unable to leave the house because I was sure it would burn down or somebody would break in while I was away. Ever since then I've insisted on Demerol if I need a pain killer; that stuff makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Anyway, I hope you feel better, tsq. You, too, Locutus.
