  you hear like, people chattering/ music/ something falling down just before you fall asleep?

    Probably Hypnogogic hallucination, which is a normal and common transitional phase between wakefulness and sleep characterized by vivid hallucinations incorporating any/all senses.

      I didn’t even know that was a thing. That’s really cool. I’ve never experienced that

    I have this too. Music, people, simulated falling, stuff like that right before I fall asleep. I always thought this was common?

      Nope. I don’t think that’s common at all. Maybe the occasional monkey reflex where my body thinks I’m gonna fall off a tree and yanks me awake, but that’s it.

      Never had this. I eather fall asleep and wake up later. Or I’m getting half-awake dreams, where I’m not I’m still a bit in control at first, but then lose control. (I know I’m dreaming, I just can’t steer it

  Auditory hallucinations aren’t as common as you seem to think haha. I have them too sometimes.

  source

  • SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Or is it that auditory hallucinations are strongly associated (not clinically, just the way they are always talked about) with bad mental health problems like schizophrenia, which makes them taboo, so people choose not to talk about them, even to doctors?

    I get auditory, gustatory, and olfactory hallucinations all the time, due to chronic headache and migraines. Wish I got visual ones too, just for the variety, but alas. I hate peanut butter so so much (my most common hallucination is the smell or taste of peanut butter). My auditory hallucinations aren’t usually voices talking, though, they tend to be cats meowing or chickens yelling, because that’s what I hear most frequently in my daily life, so that’s what I’m trained to listen for.

      Wow that sounds like it sucks, though the cats and chickens is kinda funny :) I usually hallucinate loud noises like something falling or a door slamming or something.

    The only thing I’d classify as that is “feeling” like I hear far-away inaudible voices.

  I would like to know more

  Apparently dreams aren’t necessarily affected by aphantasia.

  I feel like when I do have dreams they are extremely vivid and real because I am seeing my thoughts which isn’t normal.

  There’s also exploding head syndrome. That one’s a real bitch

• Holytimes@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I have full apantasia audio and visual. I can still dream. I know I can and I know I see things and hear things in my dream. But when I wake up I can’t recall any visual or audio.

  I tried teaching myself the lucid dream at one point and all it did was when I realized I was in a dream. Everything goes away. Exactly as if I’m awake. It’s a very bizarre feeling. It also causes my fight or flight instinct to kick in real hard and gives me panic attacks. So I kind of stop doing that. Ain’t fun and very unpleasant very weird. Far worse than waking up with sleep paralysis I must say.
