Shadow people and people saying my name. Spahhhoooky. So I got a dog...a very massive protection dog so when I'm alone at home I can look to him...his non-reaction lets me know it's not real.

I don't see things but I hear screaming and then sobbing in my head.
I know it's my own voice doing what I can't physically do anymore.
Meds make it impossible for me to scream or cry anymore so I just
hear it in my head because inside it's what I really want to do.

I see hate...and the insane things people do...and don't do when under the influence.

The hallucination that might is right...to me...is far too common in this world.

Less common is I see dead people...well have many times in the past.

Shadow people or shadow images on the ground.

A voice calling my name

Cats...always cats, since I was a kid. Still do, even when I'm here on the computer I see a cat sitting on the floor next to me.
Voices - usually songs. It could be rock, classical, ethnic...all sorts of stuff. Sometimes it keeps me up at nigh. I have to turn on a radio.

Doobie...you do know what they say about witches and cats. They're probably crones from your past lives.

...ummm cronies...I meant cronies...ok ok...maybe they're just keep'n an eye out on you and counting your nine lives down...no doubt eager to have you back in the coven...I mean pride. =^oo^=

Yes, Pride. I once belonged to a Pride. Viscious beast we were.

Auditory stuff, and I can't seem to tie it to any particular stimuli.
Doesn't seem to be stress related, doesn't occur more often when I'm tired, happens whether I'm 'up' or 'down', whenever!!

Someone calling my name sometimes. Sounds like a radio is on a couple of rooms away from me.

The 'funnest' one -- and the most common one, too! -- is when it sounds like a group of people are breaking in through my back door or like a car has driven into the house or just a generic sort of huge 'crash'.

Ah!! Now, the VISUAL hallucinations!!! That's different!!!

That's definitely brought on by too much stress, being hyper, and being up for way, way, too long!!!!

Yep!!! Animals in the road!!! (As well as elsewhere.)
Really crazy, acid-trip kinds of things!!!

What about inanimate things seeming to have personalities?
Sometimes, certain things, like a cup sitting there, or a chair, or just anything will seem 'malevolent'!!!
Like it's out to get me, or wishes me ill, at the very least.

I don't like to turn my back on them, when they're like that, LOLOL!!!!
What the hell is THAT all about!!!?
Does that count as a hallucination!!!?

I know it means I'm paranoid, but that's a rather odd form of it to take, don't you think?

Mine is stress related. The more I'm stressed the louder the music gets.

Angels, I hear voices. I think people are talking about me. Believed the CIA was spying on my puter. Always looked in the rearview mirror when driving. Looked around rooms all the time. Door bell would ring I thught it was the Gov coming to get me. Bugs in the smoke detector. Believed the world was going to end. I got more, but my fingers are getting tired.

Moths and grim reaper and a black twister with shiners coming out of it

See, we're already wandering around outside of the actual definition of "hallucination"....aren't we? And we all experience 'somethings', it seems, but I remember a thread or two (my fault, lol) about what the Categories of our experiences fall into.

Hallucination? Visits from the Beyond? Angels? Shadow things? Forces of good and/or evil? Interdimensional bleed-through? Medication side-effects?

They're all separate departments, to me. And I can tell this difference...most of the time.

So as far as what blessedgirl described with the cats-on-the-sofa, I occasionally see bugs that aren't really there. And shadow things, of course, but only the Bugs are directly in front of my vision. Shadow things are just in the corners.

I once said I didn't auditorily hallucinate, but thanks to being Here, I guess I Do. (I mean, you helped me understand what it means! lol)

I hear Lots of things (with my ears, not in my head) that turn out not to be there, but it doesn't frighten me. I just think, gee - what is That about, this time?


I (still) wonder what things we all experience, and what things are hallucinations and what are perhaps Not.
