the main reason i wont use it to help me sleep. Im afraid i would far too easily become relient on it. that coupled with the fact most sleeping pills cant be taken with my lithium.KingHodor said:
Sounds like you have (had?) Old Hag Syndrome. A room mate of mine had the same issue, he'd often complain of waking up in the middle of the night, unable to move while he thought he saw some creepy old woman standing over him.The Rogue Wolf said:

Despite my (admittedly lackluser) efforts I have never been able to hallucinate. The closest I ever became was taking magic truffles (utter rubbish) in Amsterdam and looking at an old mirror. The mirror was covered in cracks and I imagined it would be pretty if they flowed like water.
Whilst I was able to have what might be described as an involved day dream, I certainly didn't see any flowing mirror.
I tend to take other people's stories about hallucinations with a pinch of salt.

Few years ago when I had a high fever I saw tanks and other units from Advance wars crawling up and down the wall.
And quite often, when I have just woken up, I'm still partly dreaming. Once I saw snow falling under my desk, and other time I thought there was dark outside, even though it was sunny. But these don't last more than few seconds before I fully wake up.
But the most common hallucination (and a childhood nightmare) I have is a huge boulder crashing towards me. I only get it when I'm feverish.
But my brain has the tendency to kinda break down when I'm under stress so that I don't see things as they are, but as broken down to ther components.
It's difficult to explain, because even when I get like that I know it doesn't make sense.
If I for example look at stairs, I don't see them as stairs, I see them as steps that don't form a whole. Or looking at a human and seeing a mouth, a chin, eyes, arms etc, but not a human. Sure, I know there is a human, and can usually fake my way out of the situation, but if there's be more than one person, then I probably couldn't.
It's not a huge problem, because I've learned to deal with it, and usually stop it before it fully comes, though.

That's creepy. I get sleep paralysis every once in a while, but since I'm used to it, and it doesn't feel threatening, I usually feel restful, and can drift back to sleep.Syzygy23 said:
Wait a second... were you actually expecting me to give responsible, and medically sound advice?Esotera said:
Really, if the guy takes advice from nameless people on the internet, then I'd say he's got a bigger problem than having hallucinogens as meds.
Um, I did, that's how I got the medication. He warned me about it, I thought I...Kendarik said:

And no. But drugs do that to you.
Cocaine is a hellova drug.
However, in your own defense I've had weird dreams involving video game characters too. Everything from Samus Aran to the Brute from AmnesiaD. I prefer the former rather then the latter though.
I do remember one specfic dream I had where spiderman and I went to a coffee shop and, interestingly enough, talked about politics, the weather and other things. They were all things that I agreed with so maybe my mind was superimposing me onto Spiderman (at the time, I was playing Spiderman 2 the video game ALL THE TIME when I wasn't sleeping) and trying to show me my own beliefs, shown through something I had taken a fondness for.
Perhaps to prove to me that my beliefs weren't bad or flawed but were still imperfect or slightly shambled.(Spiderman couldn't get his life together remember? lol)
Also I'm having far less severe ones, they are pretty distinguishable from reality (Most of the time) cuz they look like they're cgi'd or something.
That's crazy. Didn't know medication could produce such detailed hallucinations. Next think you know you'll be breaking in to your friend's house in the middle of the night to smash their Xbox, then later on finding yourself hanging out of a window of a tall building being by someone who you only met the night before.

Good day sir.
I regularly get lucid nightmares, night terrors and sleep paralysis. Oddly enough when I take my (occasional) insomnia meds they tend to stop for a bit.
Never any nice visions, always fucking Goblin sharks or bodies or shit like that.

The common sense response to any odd effects of medication you have been given by a physician: Inform the physician of the effects AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. It could be an entirely benign side effect, it could be indicative of a bad reaction to the medication that is having other, less noticeable, effects.
OT: I have experienced this weird thing where if I'm thinking about something for a while sometimes I'll suddenly hear what sounds like a whole bunch of people talking at once. It lasts at most a second and usually culminates in one or two loud, but indistinct, words. Not sure if it counts as a hallucination though because I know it's in my head rather than it being mistakable for outside sounds.

Well, I did have 3 after a long night with some friends. I'll list them in order of strangeness rather than chronologically.
#1: I was going home, and I saw this cat walking down the middle of the road. Well, it wasn't exactly a cat. It looked like a cat, but something was wrong with it. I can't describe it properly. Anyways, he dissapeared shortly afterwards.
#2: I was in the restroom, and for a brief moment I saw a giant fly, sitting idly on a cabinet.
#3: By far the strangest. Later, while still on the road, I saw a tiny green man on the side of the road. Not little green man as in an alien, or as in a leprechaun, but he was just a guy. A guy, about 15 inches tall, clad entirely in green, and he was repeating this motion that I could only describe as what a Praying Mantis would look like if it were trying to dance while drunk.

It's manshep, I haven't seen the femshep dance, cuz I don't play as her for long enough to see anything.
I hadn't slept properly in a long time, I imagined that a UFO had landed outside of my house.
And ask if the Peter Parker is Toby or Andrew!
