Hallucinations Worse At Night

This is hard to explain. But, has anyone ever gone to bed, walked into their bedroom, turned off the lights, and then very, VERY vivid hallucinations begin? It's not like right-before-sleep hallucinations that is seen in narcolepsy, but these are like, full out hallucinations everywhere. I have these, and it involves all of my senses, sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. They tend to keep me up at night and deprive me of my sleep. It's starting to get to me, since many of them are very scary or paranoia-inducing. I was just wondering if anyone else has this, and maybe if they could say an example of one situation, so I can see if I relate. For example, last night/morning I wasn't able to sleep well due to flashes of color, like a color storm, and when I was fully awakened by an odd urge at 4 am, there was a burlap cloth next to me on the bed. It had a top of a head sticking out, like a baby, so I opened it. Inside the cloth was a baby, but only his bones, with little flesh hanging on, and he was bloody, and screamed. I could smell his burning flesh. On my other side was a black, hairy skin, which, when I picked it up, was the skin of my cat, as though he had been killed and skinned bottom to top and left there, for me to see. I got scared. Then, I looked up to the far wall of my bedroom, where my wall connects to the ceiling, and I saw a thick wire, going across it to a video camera, lens focused on me. Now, I don't have paranoia about the government or anything, but, it scared me at the time, I thought someone somewhere did this to me to see my reaction. So I ended up following the cord to my bedroom door, where it disappeared into the door with a black-ooze-like stain thing. Yea, I had to tell that to someone cuz it's been bugging me. Soo uhm yea, advice on how to handle this and maybe examples of it if you experience this too? I don't want to feel alone.
-On a last note, whats with the asteriks on the entry place, there's no continuation one, and it's making me kind of paranoid, probably due to last night. Soo yea. Thanks for reading! -Mint Posted on 09/26/09, 01:09 am |

This shouldn't happen. Are you taking medication? or perhaps you haven't found the right medication yet? I wish you good health.

During a time when I had many manic episodes and was still living at home, I walked into the living room to get one of the extra blankets out of the large chest/trunk. I went into a hysterical fit because I saw my dog stuffed in it, mangled. I wouldn't calm down until he was brought over to me. So, yeah, I understand that one.
Is it possible that your mind is making pictures out of shadows? Like, an overactive imagination while staring at the walls and objects in the dark? I'm just asking because if I go to bed, I can get all comfortable, close my eyes, but then realize much later that I'm staring at the wall or whatever is in my gaze and my racing mind makes creepy images out of the shadows. It doesn't seem like it's that simple by what you're describing, but I started wearing a sleeping mask and I no longer do that. I just wake up to a hairball in my face, meowing at me.

Thanks for the advice! And Ifairy, I still haven't found a constant stream of health, or medication for my problems...Hoping to though, cuz it's gettin worse by the week. Lol @.@. And seeing dead pets that are still alive is scary..And I've tried a sleep mask before, buut they just cause a kind of paranoia thing..Maybe I'll just sleep with a teddy :P. Right now I kind of sleep with two pillows, one under my head and one next to it, that I almost shove my face in, aaand I sleep in a little ball lol. I should get a good reliable teddy bear :D
