#pseudohallucinations

[egoarc4de]

tell me some sleep paralysis hallucinations youve had (or just any hallucinatory episodes of hypnagogia/hypnopompia in general)

genuine question:

is something a pseudohallucination if i am aware that it is not real, but only because i have solid evidence that it's not? like, i know that a siren noise from the outside is not real because i asked a friend about it, but without their input i wouldn't have known? i can suspect it bc i have a history of those things but i have no way of knowing it if it's not something with a visible result (like the washing machine finishing noise) or someone to tell me

the general definition doesn't help me with that at all

i want to sleep but am hesitating from silence even though music and stimulation to tune out my brain is only straining and painful but --

[light-of-being]

i don’t really know how to explain that there is ongoing screaming inside my head, numerous people, numerous voices, but no sound...

like, i have the synaesthetic responses (the lights, colours, sensations of the voices)... i have the psychic strain of loud noise and interfering speech... the headache and sore ears...

it feels literally like the experience of having several people continuously (and increasingly) yelling in my head except that I can’t hear them

i’m exhausted

tpfw whose voice is that you are having pseudohallucinations of? it’s on the tip of your tongue. the actress from that show? no…

To the anon who's hearing "voices": these could be pseudohallucinations, where you experience something you know is only internal. I have a similar situation and it's likely caused by past traumas and dissociation, where parts of my mind handle different thoughts that I'm not aware of, that I then sometimes "hear" inside my head like a conversation.

~For anon ‘hearing’ voices~

today at school i had a down and i was pseudohallucinating again. i never got this bad after a long time. thank god i ALWAYS have my medicine with me so i could take pills to relax again. i'm glad it was a short term and i'm feeling really good right now. if something bothers you, you can always write me private messages, i'll always have an open ear for everyone. ❤️
