Has anyone else experienced hallucinations without taking drugs? last night i had a high fever that really fucked with my head...i woke up in the middle of the night in a sweat, and i started to clean my room, because i thought the queen was coming......yes, retarded, i know.....so apparently i was making a lot of noise, and my mom came in and was asking what the hell i was doing, and i kept telling her we had to clean the house cause the queen was on her way...she tried to calm me down and explain that the queen wasnt coming, but i couldnt get it through my head, and finally she said that it doesnt matter that the queen was coming, she said that the queen said that the house did not have to be clean....so that calmed me down enough to get me back into bed....but then i started to see things, and i was laying in bed staring at my ceiling, and a big pile of wires were hovering above my head, all tangled up.....and i felt it was my duty to untangle those wires....so there i am, waving my hands in the air, trying to untangle these non existent flying wires, and then i started to panic again, because i thought they needed to be untangled before the queen arrived, so i spent all this time rushing to untangle them, and then i passed out....i woke up and thought it was all a dream, cause it was so stupid, but my mom said it was real my sister had one too, a year ago.....she woke up crying in the middle of the night because there was a big black dog walking on her ceiling...i thought she was faking it cause i didnt know fevers would do that, but after last night i dont doubt it at all....it really can fuck you up....what are some of your high fever hallucinations?
i've hallucinated without illegal drugs i had a perscription for when i had chicken pox 2 years ago and they made me hallucinate, so i wasn't allowed to leave my house for 1 week and a half until my medication was done. lol
. i like to hallucinate music , but that sort of perception seems more of a shared conciousness thing than a personal indulgence . shared . intersected .
I don't think those kind of hallucinations are normal during a fever. Unless you're about to die or soething. I've hallcinated without drugs, but it wasn't shit. Just some geometric patterns on my hands and what not. But no delusional shit like untangaling wire, or thinking that queens are coming. Thats just creepy. And to the OP. How do you sleep at night? I would be scared that some extremely disfirgured monster would jump out and grab me while i'm trying to sleep. Anyways have fun getting to sleep tonight!
Hurry go fix me a sandwich! The queen will be furious if I don't have my sammich, before she comes! It's funny, but not. I'm going to stop now. I've never experienced hallucinations without drugs, or with drugs. Being that my only drug experienced is weed. I remember I woke up one time years ago when I was young. Like 6, and I was sleeping at the end of my parents bed, and I saw a figure floating in the air. It was facing sideways, and I could see the side of it's face. It was smoking a cigarette, and typing on a typewriter. I can't go into much greater detail, because hell it was almost 11 years ago, and I was sleepy . Anyways it was glowing, that's why I could see it in the darkness. I got close to it then it dissaperead. I myself don't believe that was a hallucination, but a spirit. Even though I'm not much of a believer in spirits. I'd like to add, I know that wasn't a dream. Also I wasn't afraid of it, and even though I don't really believe in spirits I do believe I saw what I think I saw.
sleep deprivation will do the job hella. there are other things, mental diciplines so to speek, to autoinduce them. visualization exercises. things that work the same way as visualisztion exercises for muscle relaxation and stress relief, but slightly different ones. and sure fevers can as well. i don't quite understand why a big black dog walking on the cealing should be anything to cry about, but then, our emotional reactions to things in dream as well as hallucinary states isn't always consistent with what seems rational when we are awaike either. i think with problems like these, gordion knots to be untangled, which by there very nature can never be as the in reality, their own dream reality i mean, continue to retangle themselves, some sort of meditation exercises are needed. some sort of stilling of that inner dialog that keeps winding us up tighter and tighter with has to be's. there are no has to be's, other then for the body, what it needs, food and air mostly, and food primarily only when we're awike. air is about all we need when we're asleep. mine was a bit like how alien abductions are sometimes described, except that there was no taking of me from what continued to be the same room i had fallen asleep in. it was a "sun porch" that was my bedroom. and the curtains didn't quite come down to the bottem of the windows. so there was this line of light, on moonlit nights, between the bottem of the curtains, by which i mean those spring loaded trapes that you pull down, and the windowsills themselves. and any rate, i "woke up" with the sleeps asfixia experience i was having all to often in those days, i was in the third grade at the time, so i guess that would make me somewhere arround seven or eight, and the thing is, that line of light was looking like the way a sine wave does on an oscilloscope. it also felt like there were other beings, non-human, in the room with me, even though i couldn't actualy SEE them. it lasted, i'm sure, no longer then an actual breath would take, and i think this is the thing with my sleep asphixia thing too, is time itself would dialate experientialy so it seemed like i couldn't breathe wasn't breathing. but maybe, just possibly, this might have actualy been because the whole for ever experientialy, took place in the world outside of myexperiencing of it, in less outside world time, then a singe breath would normaly take anyway. the subjective experience of time in this state was equivelant to something like a half hour. of course there may have been more serious medical things going on with my body at that time too. if so though, i've never known, other then subjectively, about it. incidently; neither i, nor my parents, had ever yet at that time that i knew of, other then my dad a beer or two once in a very great while, ever consumed any sort of neurotropic substances at all. =^^= .../\...
yeah i used to trip out pretty fucking delusionally when i had these feveer type things, i get shivers, not thinking of WHAT happens, but the feeling you get when it's happening. *shiver*
Happens to me all the time when i stare at one spot for too long... that area then (floor for example) starts to move... like it's liquid. But it should be just in my eyes when they don't get enough "eyewater" or whatever its called... but sometimes it won't go away after blinking so i have to turn my face away and it goes normal.
I remember this one time when i was little i started hallucinating cause i was really sleepy. I was trying to read some stuff for homework late at night and the words on the page started morphing. Eventually i was like screw it im going to sleep.
have you taken hallucinagens before? a fever can trigger a severe flashback, some medications(like ambien)can cause hallucinations as well. in rare cases, the fever alone (depending on the cause) can mess with your perceptions, but that sounds like a pretty vivid hallucination for those cases
ps. lack of sleep can cause that exact type of hallucination, when i was in ranger school we were all tripping balls at one point after a few days without sleep
I mean, sure, you can hallucinate w/o illegal drugs, for example, I've done high doses of Lunesta a few times. It'll make you hallucinate pretty well, w/ a small buzz and a little disassociation. Also, I've heard of a few high-temp fevers turning into some hallucinations from other people, never experienced it though.
