Ok this happened 8 times last night...

No not sex that just happened once. I'm going to sleep and my body falls asleep before my brain does? The feeling of being paralyzed. Not to mention hearing the weirdest shit like voices and dogs barking. I'm smart enough to know what it is and I've had night terrors before which is the same stuff.

8 times though? I started having fun with it and remembered reading something about out of body experiences in this state but I couldn't get a feeling other than dizziness.

 

Brag about the sex, why don't ya?

You know I don't think I've had that happen to me as I was falling asleep, I've woken up several times with sleep paralysis, but never had it happen before I had at least fallen asleep. Sometimes when I'm falling asleep, I'll startle awake after about 20 minutes or so of dozing off and my brain goes crazy and I start thinking I'm seeing flashing lights outside my window and start seeing shadows in my room as terrifying things. I don't like that shit lol.

 

How does somebody fall asleep 8 times in one night? I'd give up long before then.

 

It could be a tumor...

 

You're about to have a stroke. Congrats.

 

have you seen weird bright lights in the sky and/or experienced strange (abnormal) anal bleeding?

 

Ahhh yes, the pre-stroke paralysis. Used to detect strokes but not prevent them

 

were you uber stressed/releasing stresss about something? maybe the sex had something to do with it?

if it happens again, weird ya. but they say night terrors come at stressful times, no?

8 is a lot. i would not be surprised if you dreamt 4 of them.

I took medicine for my back last night that may have been a factor. Really weird though. I work around a lot of noise and put in a bunch of hours... Could be stress.

 

well meds would explain it

i get some funky half- dreams if i take anything with codeine

diphenhydramine does it too..and dimenhydrinate

 

my best dreaming happened when i stopped smoking pot

 

Might be related to the massive life change you have going on at the moment.

 

If by medicine you mean opiates, then yes absolutely that would be a factor; your recent interpersonal eruption is almost certainly another.

I've been experiencing sleep paralysis for most of my life thus far, and can remember hallucinations going back as far as when I was 5 years old. I suppose that many of them in retrospect could be understood to have been out of body experiences, although I've never thought about them by that description. There is a schism at the hypnagogic interface, the point in between sleeping and waking consciousness and I don't think that anybody who has not been caught in limbo before can have any true conception of how utterly weird that interface is. The difficulty in relating these visions comes down to not having a language adequate to expressing that psychic state without adapting to colloquial new ageism's.

To have it happen numerous times in a single evening is very common for me, and in my case I don't believe it to be especially attributable to stress; if it is then it is unconscious stress that I am not aware of. Taking opiates exacerbates the intensity of the visions and the seizure-like sensations but not the frequency of occurrence. In fact I was alarmed by a peculiar experience I had a few years ago during which I went through numerous 'false awakenings' (in which one 'wakes up' to their 'real world', only to slowly discover that one is in fact still dreaming) without relent and after finally actually 'waking up' I had to go sit in my back yard and collect myself as I began to understand that I couldn't thoroughly establish the solidity of my conscious reality and determine whether or not I had woken up. This experience was life changing for me, and this is coming from a guy who doesn't hesitate to sitting down to a multiple round DMT session, because it so devastated my grasp on the extensions of my psyche and once and for all took away any remaining precious notions regarding matter as substantial, as a fundamental to ontology. It always was cause for concern because I began to suspect that I may be developing tumors or epilepsy, or narcolepsy, &c and although I've not had it confirmed medically one way or the other, it's been going on for nearly 25 years now so I assume that I am just wired to receive this dissolving of barrier at the point of stepping into the underworld.

I am curious Lodog, being that you are a fellow Tactics Ogre enthusiast (haha jay kay), do you ever witness visual hallucinations during these episodes, or are they primarily or solely auditory? Do you experience what is commonly described as buzzing noises, and if so do they progress from vibratory to seizure-like sensations? I take note of the above mention of this conscious state as a prerequisite to out of body experience, and again reiterate that this does not seem to be necessarily true at least in my experience, but perhaps it may be my understanding of what signal strength, so the speak, of consciousness needs maintain in order to constitute an out of body experience that is out of bounds. I've had many visions of waking up and seeing my body still lying on the sofa or bed and proceeded to go to the bathroom or walk into the kitchen, and at times even get in my car and begin to drive to work &c before something unspeakably horrific unfolds and the familiar environments distort before waking up (whether into yet another dream or in the actual sense), but I've always viewed these as false awakenings.. For the record I do not consider high dose psilocybin or DMT visions to constitute out of body experience either; or in other words, I consider the concept irrelevant and inapplicable, as one never escapes the confines of the body, but rather it is the extent of consciousness that is expanded, detached, withdrawn &c.

 

I agree on this, my dreaming is out of control right now and I haven't smoked in about 3 weeks..
