So aside from the typical demon faces I see when I close my eyes, I have been realizing recently I commonly see shadow figures around me when I close my eyes too. I see images when I close my eyes, in the afterimage of the room, so you know how you can close your eyes and briefly see the features of your room lit up? I see that but with these dark figures standing by my bed. And demon faces, usually one with big gaping eyes right up in front of me. Used to terrify me when I first started getting it but I got used to it.
I saw a shadow person the other day. It’s been awhile since that’s happened to me. Halloween has me triggered a bit. I’ve had the heebie jeebies and I think I’ll be happy when we move past the scary stuff for the year. I’ve been terrified to look in the mirror for fear I’ll see something else there. I don’t know why, just heebie jeebies I guess.
Daze you have been posting very judgemental things on a lot of my posts. I don’t understand why. Just because we have different experiences of the illness doesn’t make mine less valid than yours. What’s the old saying? If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
When I’m tired I can get the coolest hypnogogic hallucinations. (Eyes closed) Last night I saw a spider, literally the most vivid spider like in HD. I was just watching it crawl around. It was so cool.
That is very interesting. I only see the super vivid ones when I am about to sleep or am very tired. But I see the demon faces, shadow figures, etc regardless of if I am tired or about to sleep or not.
I made this post because I think it’s interesting that I have both open and closed eye hallucinations and wanted to see how many others are the same. It makes sense that if your brain is registering visual signals when there are none, that you would continue to hallucinate whether your eyes were open or not!
I see all kinds of stuff with eyes open…most commonly trippy stuff like swirling colorful lights, walls melting, floors swirling, stuff in my room just disappearing, objects “breathing”, etc…then I also get hallucinations where peoples’ faces change like they float in front of their head or turn upside down or shrink, or I will see people or animals that I can’t even tell are hallucinations until they just disappear in front of me.
The weirdest thing I ever saw was a giant clown. It disappeared in a few seconds too. It was peeking at me from behind a sign like it was trying to be sneaky. It was amusing and startling.
Mine disappear in a second or two. Sometimes after watching closely a real face, I start to imagine my face being like him. And while I talk for example, I imagine his face talking
I don’t think this comment I made on this post was out of line.
You’ll have to find a better argument than that, unless you just don’t want to hear from me at all. Last I checked I’m still on the forum. And so are you.
Yea I see them too , but I always dream every single night . My gues is me body stays in that dream like state and my mind and thoughts racing creat a lucid effect . Dreaming while being awake essentially. I always end up recording orbs and crazy strange sounds and white body’s of smoke going around . So could be either or .
