so has anyone experienced physical hallucinations?
As in feeling like you're moving when you aren't. all my life I would have this one where anytime I would lay in my bed and relax I felt like I was falling and swirling and spinning in this... open reddish space. it's hard to describe. I still get it a lot. it's fun.

can anyone else relate?

" Yea I have this feeling too! I'm not alone! lol. When I feel like it's a physical thing it's the falling feeling or a kind of melting where the thing that I'm on is melting. Kinda like I'm starting to phase through it or somethin. And it fluctuates in and out with each breath, like it's a gloop. This happens on walls and my bed mostly. Sometimes just stuff I touch. I also have some movement-oriented hallucinations when I'm walking and the ground looks like its running. Or walls get a ripple-y effect. It's odd. "

" Yes you are not alone. I have the same kind of halls. They are a little different from yours. But you are definately not alone. You said they are fun. I can't relate to that because mine are far from fun. They are usually frightening because I have no idea what is happening to me. I can shrink to being as small as a finger, to being fat and huge within a minute when I am laying down. I hate the way I feel mentally and physically when this happens. But at least you are making the most of everything. Good for you. "

" It is the part I love. I get other physical symptoms that are a little unnerving. Like someone helping me in the shower. I washed my kids when they were little so I'm like getting okay with it! Does that kind of stuff happen to you? "

" Yes. I don't seem to ever be alone, even when showering. It's okay though. I've been able to find peace with it somehow. Perhaps cause it's been going on a long time, since age 7 or so? I guess no one is actually there but I think there is. I like the fact that the last reply finds it soothing. May be it's a Greatgrandmother or something? "
