May I have some of whatever that is? I now really want to try this. I've got a whole summer to to do this in.SpectacularWebHead said:

While driving up the east coast with my Uncle and, under the influence of fever and sleep-deprivation, I swear to god I saw a little girl walk into the middle of the highway and stand in front of the car. It was late at night and she looked like your typical Japanese Horror Girl too: no discernible face, long black hair, flowing white gown. She walked out of a wooded area, stood in front of our car and, stayed there as my uncle drove right through her. There was no impact and I was determined to not look back.
On other occasions where I was in desperate need of sleep, I have been known to experience auditory hallucinations. Nothing major: mostly just phones ringing and other random noise that I hear in a work place environment.

Pretty sure this isn't true, but if it is stop taking the meds as hallucinations are very very dangerous. You could leap right out of a window that you think is a wall or fall down stairs you don't see. You could trip on something and break your neck, the list goes on...
My advice? Calm down before bed, don't eat before bed, don't listen to music before bed, don't do a lot of physically activity within 3 hours of going to bed, stop 'thinking' about stuff before bed, stay up until you can't possibly keep your eyes open anymore (the best solution to sleep problems, at least in my opinion, its how I sleep like a baby every single night, plus get more fun time
!) If you can't stay up, well... bummer, try to shed any unnecessary responsibilities

As long as he sticks with hallucinating superheroes on an idle loop then he might as well stay on them.Esotera said:
Just too bad the first "bad trip" is probably just around the corner.
That would be hilariously bad advice to anyone who functions best at night. Or to give a personal example: for me that would mean going to bed two pm the day after.michael87cn said:... stay up until you can't possibly keep your eyes open anymore (the best solution to sleep problems, at least in my opinion, its how I sleep like a baby every single night, plus get more fun time
I've always wanted to have vivid hallucinations (within a controlled environment and parameter naturally).
Personally I often hallucinate smells and tastes (weekly). Sometimes I'll have minor auditory hallucinations (yelps, buzzes, bells, name called) but those are much rarer.
Its nice when I smell and taste good things (food I like for example). Its not so fun when I smell something like toluene [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toluene] or taste something like asian beetles [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_beetle]. As far as I can tell its only been things that I've smelt or tasted before.
There have only been a few cases where I have had visual hallucinations. The four times I have suffered from sleep paralysis and one visual hallucination while I was driving at night and slightly paranoid (it was shortly after I had got my license). I thought I saw people crossing the street (in the middle of nowhere/countryside) so I slammed on my brakes. When I took a second glance nothing was there.

Mine involved shadow creatures. If you've ever played ICO before, they resemble the enemies from that game, but with bright white eyes that NEVER. STOP. STARING. If I had been able to move, I would have been crying from fear.bladester1 said:
On a certain level, I understand that this is clearly a bad thing, but after I read about Commander Sheppard standing around dancing, my brain is having a hard time figuring out why. (EDIT: Also, I'm fairly certain it's made up, but I don't care. It's hilarious.)SpectacularWebHead said:
Anyway, uh...The other day I was having trouble sleeping and eventually had a dream that I was lying in my room having trouble sleeping. Then an alien disguised as a banana tried to kill me, so I fought it to the death and eventually squashed it. When I finally woke up, I didn't even know I'd slept. My first thoughts were "Wait, it's light out already? Did I not sleep at all the whole night? Man, I guess killing that banana alien took longer then I thou-Oh, I see."
And that's the closest thing I've ever had to a hallucination.
I take ambien for sleep issues, if I don't immediately lay down I start to hallucinate text swelling in and out slightly, stuff appears to be blowing in the wind, and I will start talking jibberish if someone is around.
Granted these are extremely mild and only occur when I don't follow the instructions for taking it (go right to bed when you take a dose), but I can see where someone might have crazier hallucinations with larger doses.

A...Are you Erin from Critical Mass with a minor upgrade?SpectacularWebHead said:
And no. But drugs do that to you.
Cocaine is a hellova drug.
However, in your own defense I've had weird dreams involving video game characters too. Everything from Samus Aran to the Brute from Amnesia
D. I prefer the former rather then the latter though.I do remember one specfic dream I had where spiderman and I went to a coffee shop and, interestingly enough, talked about politics, the weather and other things. They were all things that I agreed with so maybe my mind was superimposing me onto Spiderman (at the time, I was playing Spiderman 2 the video game ALL THE TIME when I wasn't sleeping) and trying to show me my own beliefs, shown through something I had taken a fondness for.
Perhaps to prove to me that my beliefs weren't bad or flawed but were still imperfect or slightly shambled.(Spiderman couldn't get his life together remember? lol)
I have some FANTASTIC weed stories from my friends. Under the influence, they came up with the idea for chocolate rice (which is apparently normal rice boiled in chocolate milk as opposed to water). One time, they were all just sitting around, with one of my friends on the couch. He hadn't moved for a long time, just staring at the ceiling. Suddenly he bolts upright and goes "Guys...I was just in a war. They wouldn't let me come back..."DoPo said:
OT: Anyhow, you may want to, at the very least, make sure your doctor or whoever prescribed these pills to you know about these side effects you're having. It might be better if they could get you on something else that doesn't affect you like this. You don't want to be in a job interview or something and suddenly have Christian Bale style Batman burst into the room screaming incoherently at you.
I totally wish I could experience this just to see if my mind prefers either slightly muscular men or very skinny not muscular men because I have no damn clue.
I've never hallucinated visually but I have through sound. Once I heard my dog scream in pain but he was totally OK, gave me a hell of a rush.

Once I stayed up for over 72 hours straight, and saw (and heard) a couple of weird things.
The most common thing was definitely the audio. I would, every few minutes, hear something on the edge of hearing that wasn't actually there. Laughing, people saying my name, general dialogue, everything.
I also saw things on the edge of my vision pretty often too.
I had two legit hallucinations. One: I was sitting on my computer typing, and looked down and saw a long piece of bent hair on my hand. I looked back up, brushed it off, and continued typing. When I looked back down, it was still there. I brushed my hand, and my other hand went right through the hair. I stared at it for a few seconds, and, in my sleepy haze, dismissed it and continued typing.
The second one was several hours later. I went to the bathroom, and while peeing, I saw a little thin wisp of smoke or mist drifting up in a spiral from somewhere to my right. I thought to myself, "this isn't real," and kept staring. I turned and exited after finishing peeing.
Good times.

Cool, personally I had a near death experience on the back of a motorcycle, I saw the source code of the universe and reverted to the last checkpoint.
I know it sounds like I'm bullshitting but I'm honestly not certain if I hallucinated that... or that I'm now God.
I still came off the bike FYI, but I managed to avoid getting run over by the car and my ninja was only superficially damaged.
Aside from that, I view my conciousness as a kabal of sub consciousnesses. Often my logic and reasoning which has taken on the appearance of Yuki Nagato argues with my arrogance and awesome-ing which has the appearance of Motoko Kusanagi (From SAC). Normally it happens within my mind but I have on the odd occasion projected them into reality.
I also sometimes lose track of the fact that my lucid dreams are in fact dreams... this has lead me to be quite disconcerted in an awesome way.

I once got incredibly drunk while dressed as Doctor Who and then imagined I was the Doctor on some sort of world-saving errand (not sure what he'd be doing in a student union, but I digress) - and then went I looking for my TARDIS. I never found it
On a related note, asking women if they want to see your time machine and then explaining that it is currently camouflaged in the shape of your bed does not work the wonders you might think it will.

Am I the only one here who's watched Chaos;Head? Believe me, the OP's answers are in there somewhere.
Last year I thought the word beware September 10th were written on the side of my trigonomenty book and that my neighbor owned the book last year and somthing bad happened to him on that date (I was wrong). This caused me to wake my parents up and told them I had to get rid of the book. Strangely enough I wasn't on anything at the time I was just convinced about a prophecy that was written on my trigonomenty book. Since this happened in October however I'm kind of scared that bad shit will happen on September 10th.
