So, I've been having these hallucinations recently...

I regularly get lucid nightmares, night terrors and sleep paralysis. Oddly enough when I take my (occasional) insomnia meds they tend to stop for a bit.
Never any nice visions, always fucking Goblin sharks or bodies or shit like that.

The common sense response to any odd effects of medication you have been given by a physician: Inform the physician of the effects AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. It could be an entirely benign side effect, it could be indicative of a bad reaction to the medication that is having other, less noticeable, effects.
OT: I have experienced this weird thing where if I'm thinking about something for a while sometimes I'll suddenly hear what sounds like a whole bunch of people talking at once. It lasts at most a second and usually culminates in one or two loud, but indistinct, words. Not sure if it counts as a hallucination though because I know it's in my head rather than it being mistakable for outside sounds.

Well, I did have 3 after a long night with some friends. I'll list them in order of strangeness rather than chronologically.
#1: I was going home, and I saw this cat walking down the middle of the road. Well, it wasn't exactly a cat. It looked like a cat, but something was wrong with it. I can't describe it properly. Anyways, he dissapeared shortly afterwards.
#2: I was in the restroom, and for a brief moment I saw a giant fly, sitting idly on a cabinet.
#3: By far the strangest. Later, while still on the road, I saw a tiny green man on the side of the road. Not little green man as in an alien, or as in a leprechaun, but he was just a guy. A guy, about 15 inches tall, clad entirely in green, and he was repeating this motion that I could only describe as what a Praying Mantis would look like if it were trying to dance while drunk.

60's tv show batman and robin (And funnily enough the episode with the scene they're rehearsing came on today)Darren716 said:
It's manshep, I haven't seen the femshep dance, cuz I don't play as her for long enough to see anything.
I hadn't slept properly in a long time, I imagined that a UFO had landed outside of my house.
And ask if the Peter Parker is Toby or Andrew!

And he said they wouldn't last forever, and they have in fact pretty much stopped.
Yes! Whenever I'm pretty stressed, I get sleep hallucinations like that. I'll be awake and aware of my surroundings, but see crazy weird things like spider people and vampires in the room. Sometimes the room I'm in will actually look like a different room altogether, like my room back home. It's weird because I'm processing in my head that I know that's not real, but I CAN'T MAKE MY EYES STOP SEEING IT. The good thing is, they tend to go away on their own, and might stop bugging you after some time.
I used to get them every day for a few months last year in particular. One of the weirdest was looking over and seeing TV's Frank sitting on my bed.
At least I think it was a hallucination.

That shit is hilarious. I can't breathe from laughing. I can't believe I missed it on my playthrough in ME2. I always knew Shepard was a bad dancer but I never saw that specific scene.MortifiedPenguin said:
OT: Yep, Commander Shepard does it for me. And the fact that you miss him makes it even more hilarious.
this really reminds me of the webcomic series critical Miss thats on this site actually also as far as halcinuations go ive herd and could think of alot worse then chilling with batman and commander sheppard
The worst I've had is seeing lights, skittering shadows and such.
I do have auditory hallucinations, mostly people calling my name (usually shouted, sometimes whispered), alarms going off, and phones ringing.

I can't remember the exact episode name/number, but it's about a man who's afraid to fall asleep because he has vivid and disturbing nightmares which he can't tell apart from reality. A heavy theme is the idea that he might just still be asleep. I think a psychiatrist believed the behavior was a side-effect of medication, like antidepressants.Clearing the Eye said:
Well, most (if not all) antidepressants in even moderate doses list vivid nightmares as a potential side effect. I gotta tell ya, while not afraid of falling asleep, I'm not really keen on it, lol. Horrible, horrible stuff. I feel everything like I would right now, sitting here wide awake. Better than the depression, though >_>CaffeinatedBandit said:
