Has anyone ever experienced this? I've been having those throughout all my life, but recently they seem to be increasing in frequency.

>>40509741 (OP)
Frequently have ones of hands reaching up on the side of my bed or a head peeking over the side.

Yeah, although for me they are almost always auditory. I'm surprised that auditory are the less common ones, according to the picture. I get the visual ones only when I induce sleep paralysis. If anyone is interested, I can write up a guide here on how to induce sleep paralysis. It's a fascinating thing to experience. Let me know, I will check the thread when I get off work.

>>40510035
do it

>>40510035
Yeah, me too. I get all of these though. Make the thread!

I've had them ever since I quit smoking weed and that was last year. I remember being extremely stressed out at one point and heard my dad's voice saying my name when I woke up. A couple of days ago I heard children laughing. I was extremely gullible to think weed wouldn't fuck you up in the long run.

>>40509760
Omg. Please help me.

Ooh, this reminds me of that wack-ass 'aphantasia' meme going around for a few years about people not being able to visualize shit. "Mental imagery" is not LITERALLY FUCKING SEEING something you have seen before in your 'mind's eye' or whatever tf. Look - object permanence. That is how we function as intelligent beings, or part of. So, dicing it up and calling some shit some other shit is blurring and misleading. Perhaps just an honest error in comms but I don't put anything past the motherfuckers that hang out in shitholes like the ones we are familiar with such as this one. Anyway yes.

>>40509741 (OP)
You're awakening to the realm of spirits. This can happen for various reasons; such as an approaching death; own's own upcoming passage to this realm of being.

>>40510035
I have all 3 motherfucker plus schizophrenia, I'm hauling ass

>>40510405
What's wrong?

>>40509741 (OP)
Yes. Everytime I fall asleep. Mine are strictly auditory. I hear a bunch of people talking about random stuff. Most of the stuff I hear doesn't even have a semantic meaning. It's syntactically correct but it's a bunch of nonsense. I'm not sure what to make of that.

>>40509741 (OP)
Yes, had my first one about a month ago.
Was slowly waking up dreaming about spiders and heard crawling on the wall next to me but it was more like thudding, scared the shit out of me so I "woke up" and looked at the wall and saw a black featureless spider crawling quickly up my wall and vanishing
Took me like 3 mins to realise I'm hallucinating then went back to sleep

>>40510914
Same, but I mostly just hear random words, individually by different voices, not syntactically correct sentences, but sometimes I get that too. It's mostly random voices, not voices of real people, but sometimes it is voices of people I know saying nonsense and voices of actors from tv shows and movies I've watched, sometimes I recognize that this is something I've heard this actor say before.
I do get visuals too sometimes, but much less often than auditory, one time right before I woke up I saw a jester next to my bed crouched leaning towards me, grinning and looking at me in the eye.
I also got some closed eye psychedelic colorful fractal visuals a few times, while trying to fall asleep. They were very clear and defined not like the colorful blobs you see when you close your eyes.
I also have visual snow if that's connected somehow.

>>40509741 (OP)
I sometimes get beautiful images like the color golddust and charcoal.
Other times it's a black and white scene of a water's surface, sometimes it's just a open field or street.
The coolest one was being like 100,000 feet up looking down over the ocean.

>>40510035

This gai better come correct.

Alright it's actually a really simple process, but it necessitates a strong will. If you have some experience with long meditation, it should be easy.
>Lay down
Best position is laying on your back with straight legs. Arms should be straight too, or you can fold them behind your head, whichever feels more natural for you. Your head should be significantly raised, but not to a point that chin touches your chest. A bigger pillow will do. Take this as a suggestion, it's probably achievable even in a different position, but I never managed to do so. Your room should be dark with comfortable temperature, perhaps a bit on the colder side. Obviously keep your eyes closed.
>Slow your breathing
Deep inhale, deep exhale. You can count to 10 in-between, so you keep your breath in rhythm. In the begining you have to focus to keep your breath steady, but your body will continue breathing properly on its own after a few minutes.
>Don't move
This is absolutely crucial. Even a slight adjustment of your position will send you back to the begining. Even taking a breath that is out of rythm will break the "spell". Focus on your body, how your skin feels etc. but do not move. I have found that imagining the movement of your fingers, without actually moving them, can help speed this phase up.
>Involuntary jerks
At some point your leg or an arm will twitch involuntarily. This means you are doing it right. Don't let it interrupt you and keep staying still.

>Do not fall asleep
It will take between 20-60 minutes of concentration before sleep paralysis occurs. Keep sharp focus on your body. When your thoughts run away from you, just bring your attention back to your body. How does the blanket feel? Do you smell anything? Is there air movement in the room? Are there ambient sounds?
>Stay calm
Right before you enter sleep paralysis, or perhaps as the sleep paralysis begins, you will experience a very intense body sensation that I can't properly describe. I promise you will recognize it when it happens. It's like all the nerves in your body activate, not in a painful way, but not exactly pleasant either. You will feel waves of sensation running through you, and it will be overwhelming. I never felt anything like this before, and it took many tries to get used to it and not panic. While overwhelming at first, after a few moments it will sort of stabilize and when it does, you just need to keep focus a little longer and boom, you made it.
>The experience
You will enter a strange type of dream, while still being completely conscious and "tied" to your body. You might feel yourself rotation in your bed, levitating across your room, falling etc. You will see your surroundings even with closed eyes, sometimes you see actual figures standing above you. You will hear strange sounds or jumbled words, music and so on.
>Waking up
I never made it longer than a few minutes, or what felt like a few minutes. At some point you just won't be able to hold it together and you will try to get out of your bed. It won't be possible right away, your body won't respond to your commads at first, but after a short while you will regain control, usually while shaking a panting.

It can be terrifying, but once you realize it's completely safe, you will be curious to try again. At least that's how it was for me.

Let me know if you have any questions, I will check the thread in the morning.

>>40512865
>Welp, off to get sleep paralasyzed again! Have fun!

XD

>>40512865
>Consistently gives you sleep paralysis if your not smoking marijuana.
Woke up like 3 times and had a dream that merged into asleep paralysis where I was able to open my eyes and look around an unfamiliar room.

>>40512874
The thing though is that we are trying to escape the body, and not be a corporeal form bounded by the laws of nature unless being that nature mediates our will. It's like reducing your power level from a god to a phantom man.

>>40512609
Oh my God. The fucking jester. I saw that too. In fact it's been haunting me for quite a long time. I repeatedly wrote about it here on x. I even created a post about it. It's constantly tapping and clicking stuff all around me, now it's day and night. These jester cunts are demons btw.

Also yes it's precisely like you. Sometimes it's people o know who talk. I have a hunch that these are entities who fish our memories and they try to mimic them.

My dreams as well, they have people I know in real life but they talk nonsense often, and they're even not 100% like they are in real life. These are demons who do these kind of things to feed off of our loosh.

Do you have a very active inner monologue? I know I have. Mine diminished a lot after taking ivermectin+ praziquantel+pyrantel (antiworm drugs)

I've seen hatman at the foot of by bed once while paralyzed.

Probably 8 to 10 years ago I awoke to a booming male voice that just said "Hello".

Couple weeks ago I awoke to very clearly hearing my name spoken. No fear, no anger, no emotion, it was just spoken like a statement. "anon". It was very clear and disembodied and didn't come from anywhere in particular. I was waking up and fully conscious just like the first time.

>>40509741 (OP)
look, "hypnagogic hallucination" is just a reductive neuroscientific term for breaking through into waking consciousness.
it's the manifestation of your psyche. those discarnate intelligences and timeloops of consciousness, or nonhuman agents are operating from hyperdimensional places

>>40513045
One time one of these hallucinations told me to search for something but wouldn't tell me what it was.

Another time I was visualizing my brain looking into different mirrors, and a hallucination bled into reality basically saying I am stopping myself.

Another said I could have whatever I wanted (in between a bunch of incomprehensible nonsense) but that I kept "fucking it all up"

Why can't the higher self be a little more direct

>>40509741 (OP)
A friend of mine is literally getting molested by these hallucinations. Can they be removed?
>Inb4 enjoy it
It doesn't feel good. My friend's pretty terrified and makes up screaming to the point of being afraid of going to bed.

I have noticed that when I wake up I experience a kind of an auditory lag. I usually fall asleep to YouTube slop and it will take a few seconds for my ears to hear what ever crap the algorithm is feeding my subconscious upon waking.

>>40513862
Worst one I got was the hanged man in the bathroom. Was in my dream taking a piss, and look over to a shower stall and see a man blue in the face tied up by his neck and I wake up saying, "Call the hospital."

>>40509741 (OP)
when i am between sleeping and waking, i can hear birds singing, or sometimes people talking muffled voices. i believe it's the elves conversing. they surround you at all times

>>40513733
I'm pretty sure everyone has a mirror version of themselves which is basically a fake reflected version of you

>>40509741 (OP)
Ive had these since i was a very small child. auditory from the age of 5 and then physical starting when i was 15. the auditory ones are random voices saying hello to me or sometimes people i know, in some rare cases its full sentences and one i heard people talking, one was two people telling eachother to shut up because i was waking up. the physical ones were me feeling like i was getting smaller or my bed was getting bigger as well as feeling heavier than i actually am.

>>40512865
interesting, sounds like an lucid dream guide kinda. I find if I'm exhausted but I sleep more than my body needs then it will have more fragmented sleep and I'm more likely to have sleep paralysis / nightmares. It helps a lot to have a unusual sleep environment, one that is uncomfortable enough to make your body alert, but comfortable enough to where you aren't just tossing and turning. (for me downstairs couch. or even a hotel. especially old ones with heavy energy.)
>>40514560
I've posted about those 'size' hallucinations before but I've never seen anyone else talk about them. It sometimes focused on my hand so my fingers felt like they were growing really big or going skinny and really long. It's hard to describe and kinda disturbing.

>>40509741 (OP)
>Has anyone ever experienced this?
Several times. It's pretty rare. Always accompanied by a feeling of dread and terror. I tried resisting the fear once, but it didn't work.
When it happens, I get a sense there is a presence in the room with me and I feel vulnerable and exposed to it.

I have had some auditory ones which were a womans voice saying things like hey you or whats up and it felt very warm and loving.
I have had a sensation like a hug when waking up that felt as if my soul was being hugged.

>>40514771
Holy shit! I use to have these whenever i would get a fever as a kid and no one ever knew what the fuck i was talking about either.

I could touch my middle finger to my thumb and i felt this infinitely small point like my fingers had shrank small enough to touch a single atom. I would do this repeatedly because it felt insane how small of a distance i could make it from touching to not touching.

>>40509741 (OP)
I get them all the time.
Sometimes I feel as if I were physically in a completely different place, for example as if I were under the sea, in the middle of the forest, in some ruins, etc. as if dreams and reality became one.
Passionflower extract seems to increase their intensity but your body grows used to it quickly.
I sometimes feel as if people were sitting besides me on the bed, watching me. As in I can feel the weight of someone on my side on the bed, but these are rarer.
I have also had two sleep paralysis experiences in my life, both last year very close to each other.

>>40515266
I don't find them scary at all by the way, except fo the paralysis stuff. But Im not sure if they are related at all.
I can see how someone would think sound and physical things could seem scary to some. But I think that's just imposing your own judgement on the situation.

>>40515282
It's called paralysis cause your body "tingles", I try not to fight it as to stay in that transitional liminal state .But some people feel like they can't move and shake it off, but if you stay in it long enough, weird things happen around you, the environment is different, ephemeral people or animals are apparent.

>>40515334
>It's called paralysis cause your body "tingles"

::hard facepalm::

If you tell me you don't know the definition of the word 'paralyze' I'll fucking close this thread.

>>40515334
The two times I've had it there was this woman on the other side of the room. Like a bunch of shadowy threads in human shape. Very messy looking.
I couldn't move, and I couldn't open my mouth to speak. Both times I could hear a very loud ring through my ears(perhaps blood preasure?).
The second time it was worse.
The figure stood there for what seemed like a long time. Couldn't open my mouth, all I could do was move my eyes.
Decided to close them.
When I opened them again the figured had moved. Instead of standing on the other side of the room it was now right on my side and looking at me very closely, she occupied most of my field of vision and I could feel her eyes even if I couldn't see them.
The ringing was so loud, it felt like it was coming from her. As if she were screaming louder and lounder while looking at me in the eyes.
Then I think I fell asleep again and when I woke up it was gone.
I tried to calm down while it was happening, in fact that was my train of thought the second time when I decided to close my eyes and relax. But I just couldn't help but be somewhat panicked.

>>40515266
>I sometimes feel as if people were sitting besides me on the bed, watching me. As in I can feel the weight of someone on my side on the bed, but these are rarer.
Same, one paralysis had a person to my right in the bed laying down, and then in other's I am visited by "the witch" and we made out one time, but on another occasion, I was pulled from my bed and fell to the floor where a group of 4 entities told me they won't let me out for the vibe I was catching, and then a person name Jessica fingered my butt and got doodoo on her fingers ( I onlyknew her name because from the doorway another voice with what appeared to be a pair of peopleaside theman and jessica in the room were there, "the unknown woman said, "What are you doing, Jessica?" in disbelief.

So yeah, I was astrally raped/molested in a bad way.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_gyrus.
>Experiments have demonstrated the ability of stimulation of the right angular gyrus to induce out-of-body experiences.[25] Stimulation of the left angular gyrus in one experiment caused a woman to perceive a shadowy person lurking behind her. The shadowy figure is actually a perceived double of the self.[26] Another such experiment gave the test subject the sensation of being on the ceiling. This is attributed to a discrepancy in the actual position of the body, and the mind's perceived location of the body.

>>40515384
You mean drop attack cataplexy? I had that, but i'm telling you the sign that it's happening is when you wake up and the "Tingly" happens and then your body is immobilize. The drop attack cataplexy is when your muscle tone fails and you go limp, and something will drag you across the floor like an animal, and you can only either wake up, or enjoy the show of what will happen.

>>40515416
Look, don't tell me about the good times you have had in the past. Show me them.

>>40510442
This one is soulless.

>>40513862
dude he's haunted, get holy water and a cross

>>40509741 (OP)
I typically have those audio hallucinations right before drifting asleep. Typically my mother's voice shouting my name or an explosion or static.
I very recently fainted/ had a seizure in my sleep(if that's possible I fainted and seized once before after deadlifts so I know it feels) it sounded like someone was walking up the stairs to my room and I cried out asking who's there. I believe it was actually my limbs on the left side of my body hitting the wall creating the sound of someone walking up the stairs.

>>40514394
Yes, that's what they are.

>>40509741 (OP)
In the past I didn't know what hypnagogia is, but after I did some psychedelics my thoughts got extremly disordered right before sleep. It's either gibrish or random words or music or things I heard in a day or whole out sentences. Sometimes they are scary, but usually they are annoying.

i had the same weird fucking thing alright and the radio wasn't even on
but every time i was playing gmod back in 2011, i would stay up past midnight and hear songs or ppl talking in the kitchen
walked in there
nothing was playing, the radio was on but it remained off and had the volume turned down
another accasion is when i heard my mothers voice from upstairs calling for my name
no one was up there.

could there be mimic spirits that exist or something else that isn't there that accidentally spawned into the physical realm?
