| HomokHarcos said: This has happened around 4 times that I can remember. It's been when I'm drifting in and out of sleep, but sometimes I hallucinate when drifting and it's always been the same thing. It looks like a drone camera flying around my room's ceiling at night, so at first I think someone's spying on me until I quickly realize that it's actually not there. Has anybody else experienced this? |
I sometimes have hallucinations just when I wake up, it's like my brain thinks it's still sleep time for a few seconds but my eyes are open and I see the ceiling of my room. And I see huge animals creeping around it, very real very there and I think the first time it happened I got scared but I quickly realized it's just hallucinations. After no more than maybe 10 seconds they are all gone and it's all fine.
Another way to hallucinate for sure is through sleep deprivation. If for some reason you do not sleep in two or three days, like not sleep at all, I guarantee you will start hallucinating. 3 days is my record and the lack of sleep is so powerful that just sitting down on a chair or laying down somewhere will kick you into sleep literally in a couple seconds. I mean you sit down to rest your body and when you start moving to make yourself cozy or whatever, 10 hours will have passed and you slept without realizing it.
The need for us humans to sleep is a very mysterious process in the brain. Only thing I'm sure of is that contrary to the beliefs of some people who think our souls go wandering off during our sleeping time, nothing of that actually happens, sleeping is a state in which our brain starts generating hallucinations and the only difference with hallucinations we have when we are awake is that we are "shut down" so that we are not aware of reality around us.
