Hallucinations
Right now after playing portal through halfway I stopped to come post this.
I'm experiencing crazy crazy hallucinations. Like I keep seeing this really giant spider in a dark corner in my peripherals and I keep hearing someone walking.
So that made me wonder, what kind of crazy things do you guys see when your mind is ♥♥♥♥?

Re: Hallucinations
Nothing because I don't get crazy hallucinations without either large amounts of alcohol or drugs and I've never consumed either. I recommend you stop playing Portal and go to bed or something.

Re: Hallucinations
Alcohol doesn't give you hallucinations on its own, by the way.

Re: Hallucinations
The only time I hallucinated was when I was slightly drunk, on a bike and it was minus 5 degrees C. I got paranoid as ♥♥♥♥ and my mind started deforming sounds into scary ♥♥♥♥.
But, like the others said, stop playing portal and go to bed.

Re: Hallucinations
Whenever I take showers, I hear... voices.
I think this proves that I am clinically insane.
The voices always sound like my mother. It always sounds like she's yelling my name like I'd gotten in trouble. If I peek outside, nobody says anything happened.
... At least the voices aren't telling me to kill people. Or are they?

Re: Hallucinations
Studies have shown that a significant number of otherwise completely mentally healthy people regularly hallucinate via any or many of their senses.

Re: Hallucinations
I just occasionally misconstrue sounds as people calling my name, and that's less a hallucination and more the fact that many words sound similar to 'Matt'. Although, after watching movies, sometimes I get irrationally uneasy about something for like a week, though again, it isn't really a hallucination.

Re: Hallucinations
I've only really ever had a hallucination when I had the Flu. My bed transformed into a giant GPS.
Also, Crazy, that's Pareidolia. It comes in the form of visual or audible (Is that a word?) form, causing you to make sense of random stimlus. Like seeing a face in a cloud or hearing your name from a shower stream. And since your brain is wired to prioritize your name through background noise the effect will probably be doubled.

Re: Hallucinations
I had the flu where i had a fever dream. I am quite sure that i was awake, and i saw this weird guy who walked in slowmotion and suddenly sped up at random intervals. He also looked like Nicholas Cage.

Re: Hallucinations
Once I was walking with some friends in a park and the temperature was like -10°C more or less, and we were freezing up badly. At some point we started talking randomness, or at least I heard they were saying random things (like Ohgeuhjn ajhfk grofsijt) and sometimes I just skipped parts of the conversation or parts while we were walking. It was like we were sitting on a bench and then I just skipped to the moment that we were standing near my friend's house.
It was wierd.

Re: Hallucinations
-10 Celcius is enough to make you hallucinate? Yeesh. When I was a young kid, I had a fever dream and when my mom came into the room, her head had been replaced with that of a dinosaur. I think that's the last time I really hallucinated.

Re: Hallucinations
I've never hallucinated. And -10 degrees Celsius is pretty much a warm winter here.
