But these specific hallucinations aren’t linked to more serious disorders like schizophrenia, psychosis or brain tumors.
Sleep paralysis and schizophrenia can both emerge in early adulthood, but a telling difference is that someone with sleep paralysis usually knows soon after fully waking that they experienced a hallucination, said Stanford sleep doctor Pelayo. Someone with schizophrenia might have a harder time distinguishing what’s real.
I’ve hallucinated all kinds of things, from flying ghosts to giant alien crab creatures climbing the walls to two men breaking into my house rummaging through the kitchen
I lucidly dreamt a giant lightning bug that shocked me. It was in my room after a tree grew into it from through the floors
The shock of the encounter led to sleep paralysis
I’ve visualised spiders, mostly spiders and its completely normal, i think i read it was a hypnogogic hallucination, during half waking states.
Is this while all of you are sleeping or while awake? @daydreamer @everhopeful @FreeLunch @Wave
I don’t suffer from it, I just posted the story…
Half awake @SkinnyMe
Right before or after I wake up
I get periods of severe sleep paralysis. Sometimes it’s all the “sleep” I get. I think mine is ptsd related

Please define sleep paralysis please someone.
When you’re sleeping suddenly, you feel like you can’t move and it’s usually in a dream or in a state of semi wakefulness

Thankyou @FreeLunch .
Idk if i was in sleep paralysis, i was just half awake.
Back when I was on trazodone I’d always dream and think that there were snakes in the bed
I have had quite a few bouts of sleep paralysis. Freaky as hell. I completely understand why ancient people who had it assumed it was some kind of spiritual attack from another plane or something.
