#somatic hallucinations

[comfybreeze10]

I was finally told by a professional that I have Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. All this time, I kept seeing objects change in size, distances change, color tones change, and I told myself "oh well, I'm dissociating". Realizing most people don’t see this made me feel isolated.

To me, aside from migraines, and some distortions (like when my body seems too big), I usually like watching them happen, it feels like proof that reality is fluid.

Does anyone else feel the same way? I feel like I might finally belong somewhere. AIWS, plus my hypnagogic, trauma-related, and somatic hallucinations, make my life feel similar to a dream. I have realistic lucid dreams since young, and now it finally feels like my dreamlike reality has an explanation, I can finally describe it with terms!

Most beloved(LOATHED LOATHED) somatic hallucination/delusion: im in the middle of or about to go into cardiac arrest/have a heart attack. Or im just alive with little to no heartbeat

is it a kind of hallucination to get the sensation that certain body parts are disproportionate? like, i can see that theyre fine, but like my leg or something feels super giant. its not reeeally tactile i dont think so???

There is such a thing as somatic hallucination which doesn’t quite fit with tactile hallucination, though it’s not always termed as being an hallucination per se and some people call tactile hallucinations “somatic” instead of “tactile” or will combine these two things together.It’s a sensation where one feels something’s off with their body, like they can feel a part of them is mutilated, the feeling of a foreign object/creature being inside the body, basically something physical dealing with/in the body.There’s also somatic delusion, dealing with beliefs about the body’s functions, appearance, etc. One might believe an organ’s missing or not working right, as an example.Do these help? ^^- Mod Alex
