hallucinations out of nowhere

[horrible]

First and foremost...no, I don't do drugs.

Now, has anyone ever have just a random moment where you start hallucinating? I'm not talking about massive pink-elephant rampaging through your room...just minor twists and warps of your general surroundings. For me this happens occasionally but rarely with any physical symptoms.

Usually these hallucinations are basic warping of walls and general surroundings, sometimes its so strong I loose my balance and get migraines and very rarely theres something more major like seeing "something" that isn't there (like the floor collapsing into a giant hole).

I know its not exactly normal, but I'm curious if anyone here has ever experienced this.

[Elisa Maza]

Yes, absolutely. Sometimes I'll see movement where there's nothing, other times I'll notice, like you said, a kind of "warping" of the surroundings. Sometimes I'll think I see what looks like a bug or an animal or something, yet nothing is there.

What's odd for me is that I often hear things that aren't there. Like, even though I'm the only one in the house, I'll hear someone call my name. I get spooked whenever that happens, yet it always turns out that there's nothing there. Other times I'll see something out of the corner of my eye, AND hear it, yet there's never anything there.

Stuff like that. It always turns out to be nothing, though

Thats just not good, kimiko. Seeing something is one thing but hearing something thats not there is completely different. Actually, it gets dangerous...especially if you start hearing voices on a regular basis and they tell you to do things. Though if I misunderstood and what you hear are things like footsteps and strangers' voices, then thats more like a poltergeist. Mind you, I don't really know whether you can hallucinate sounds or not...so I can't say for sure.

ps; (superstition alert) if someone who's voice you recognize calls out your name and you know that theres no one there avoid responding to it. This superstition falls under the same category as "don't look at a funeral through windows/glass" and "don't whistle in the house". Some people believe in this sort of thing, some don't...it depends.

I had quite a few of the "hallucinations" you described before. I doesn't happen anymore. Anyway, it kinda feels like everything around me just suddenly jerks and everything that I see moves with it. After which I kinda lose my balance. I assumed that it was just the brain sending a small mechanical message that it wasn't supposed to which causing your muscles to make a sudden movement you are unaware of, and thus gives the illusion that everything around me just moved but instead it's just me. Yeah...so the body screws up sometimes.

I think that the small message is more or less epilepsy or what causes it...basically when your on the verge of loosing consciousness and your mind starts to loose (or misread) the signals your senses are sending the part of you thats still conscious is reading the signals kind of warped or twisted...at the most severe something similar to a dream begins to happen, while overlapping reality. The reason this makes you loose balance is the same as when you spin on a chair for too long...you start perceiving that the room is moving and your body tries to adapt. Thats the only way I can rationalize it...but I don't know enough about how the brain works to say I'm confident in this quess.

I've never heard voices telling me to do things. And it's not like I hear things that aren't there on a daily basis or anything. It's just something that happens every once in a while. When I do hear something, it's usually my name, or something that sounds like someome laughing or yelling or something. I dunno, it's weird. It always sounds like it comes from another room, yet when I check, obviously nothing is there.

But besides that, yeah, I'll see something that isn't there, like I said, but it also doesn't happen all that often

Not really. I hear things all the time.

Kinda like Kimiko with the calling of her name. I'll often be sat in my room, the whole house is empty...And I'll suddenly hear someone call my name.
It normally happens several times over the course of an hour or so...Once it actually starts and then it'll suddenly stop.

As for seeing things. Yeah. Always have. Probly always will.
I spook easy and my mind plays tricks on me.
I often see the boxes ontop of my shelves...Shifting from side to side. I'll see the shadows on the walls move. Sometimes I'll be sat there and in the corner of my eye....I can see my cuddlies turn towards me and when I look at them, none of them have moved.

I tend to think I see spiders alot, too.
I'm terribly afraid of the creepy...Crawly...Little...Ugh ~
So I often "see" them all over the place. Normally in places I've REALLY seen them before.
For example, there was a huge one (I'm talking...Palm of my hand leg span...FAT LEGS!) right next to the computer desk...A few years ago now.
Ever since then, I seem to "imagine" it there all the time.

As for warping of stuff...Um...Not while I'm wide awake.
When I get tired and I get into that...Half asleep, half awake daze...Kinda state...
Then I see stuff like that.

All that stuff is "normal" for me, though. Happens at least once a week.

[Mina]

Only my vision going out of focus thats seemingly like a hallucination.
Sometimes I think Ive seen a shadow go past if I move my head too fast but again I dont think think its a hallucination as much as my mind playing tricks. My minds played tricks like I'll think someone called me too, I can generally tell if it was real or not but what I understand is that thats fairly normal if its rare.

if you see objects move and then return to where they were before that would be a hallucination...but when it actually moves then thats either a poltergeist or some freaky coincidence.

As for creepy-crawlies...I'm with you on this one. I've had a few incidents where they've tried to crawl on my arm or face...ever since at random intervals I'll wake up and feel like something is crawling on me *shiver*. I think I'd rather hallucinate a bloody ghost in my room than a giant spider ._.

Oh, no. Poltergeist stuff is different to this.

Believe me. I've had stuff move in "that" way before...Scared the crud out of me.

Mock me if you will but we have a rather playful ghost in this house.

Playful how? The "mischievous 5 year old" playful or the "haha you can't see me so I'll do stuff to you" playful >_>

...I know if I was a ghost I'd definitely be the latter ^-^

[Miles]

Like 5 year old kiddy...That kinda playful.

It's cute but it's freaky when stuff happens at night and I'm on my own.
I'm not talking "floating objects" I kinda think that stuff is totally made up...I've never seen it. I've seen stuff being moved around.
They do over-do it in the movies.

On a few occasions when I've been making tea...The cup has slid across the work-top as I go to put sugar or a tea bag in the cup...
Resulting in me spilling whatever on the side.
Whoever it is...Coulda moved the cup when I'm pouring boiling water but they never have, so I just assume they're playful.

People make fun of me for it but it's happened. Can't change that.
Cups don't move by themselves and wind does not come from a closed door or window and blow them around, either.
I'm not too afraid to admit that Ghosts exist.

My brother didn't believe in ghosts but he's said that things have just fallen off the table in his room. Even when they were in the middle of the table.
Even he's convinced we have a mischief maker in the house.

[Dark Marmosett]

I had one earlier, it was freaking weird though. random lights of flashes o.o but i wasn't having a seizure =p

[jethro]

Sometimes when im just sitting there i think i hear my phone vibrating to say i've received a message or someone is calling me but then when i look it's not the case, don't know if that counts or not...maybe im just lonely lol
