hello. i have a question i'd like some answers to. i have no idea if this is my synaesthesia symptoms toying with me
or if it happens to everyone. ever since i was a little kid, when i'd be going to sleep, laying down
all relaxed in my bed, i just momentarily see and feel (in my head)
an object that is large and small at the exact same time and it makes
me sort of dizzy and confused for about 2 seconds. does this sound familiar?

I often get snippets of conversation between two other people (always different people, no voices I recognise) just before I fall asleep. Best way do describe it would be either rolling a radio dial slowly or walking briskly through a crowded public place. It's usually quite banal stuff and it's seldom related to anything I've done in the day (whereas my dreams usually are) I know I don't dream this as I often "wake up" fully after hearing them, before going to sleep. Stuff like, "...I must get that checked tommorow" "No, it should be fine" "Yes I..."
It's only ever a couple of lines.

well.. I've had this one of a surface that is rough (filled with holes) and plain at the same time... the rough part always makes me feel very uncomfortable...

yeah thats a classic :) one of my favourite things to do before i fall asleep is imagining my mates voices in my head, cause they always say
weird random stuff.

i get the one where I feel like im outside my body. and it feels like im either really close to myself, or really far away...or im really small or really big...but i cant tell.
and i get the falling feeling, and i hear voices and conversations, and i see things like nightmarish things, usually not nice things. And then when I actually fall asleep I only have nightmares.
but yeah, its strange these sensations we get. Interesting.

not really when I try to sleep, but just any time... something happens and I become slightly disoriented while alle voices coming from people around me become higher in volume and merge into a wall of sound, and while I'm thinking "ah, fuck! it's that again" in a really slow manner, I'm also at the same time going "aah! why the fuck am I shouting in my thoughts?"
once again.. hard to describe, but...

I think these things are all common symptoms of some sort of faigue or something...
I've also, on a few occasions had white dots flying out from the corner of my eye, but that may be from migraine, as I sometimes get migraine-hallucinations...

yeah i get something similar to your white dot thing too.
sometimes when im really tired i have open eye visual effects. very rarely though. but like we have a pattern on our ceiling and there are two parallel dotted lines, and they were moving in opposite directions, like traffic. And just the patterns were slowly waving, as if the room was made of liquid.
i really enjoy talking and hearing about this sort of thing.

wow i never knew other people had this sort of thing, i thought i was the only one.......i've had really fucking bad experiences with this sort of thing through out my life, especially as a young kid, where I cant come out of it and I fall into a deep episode......it usually only happens when I’m asleep and have a cold of virus, but it's only recently iv started to control it. If I wanted to I could fall into this sort of state, but im afraid to do so.

One night, after a session on the booze and Pharmecuticals, i had what can only be described as an out of body experience. As I fell asleep I felt myself rising a few feet above the bed i dont recall seeing myself or anything, but i remember frantically reaching out and pulling myself back down, i woke up with a huge thud as i hit the matress.

I get that all the time. Like when you are falling asleep and the inside of your head is expanding. and then you open your eyes and your perspective is all messed up, so the door seems like miles away. It's quite freaky but I kind of like it these days.

I've never gotten that, no. I usually get this feeling that I am infinitly huge; that is, once I fathom how large I am I just get larger. Eventually it feels like my actual body is microscopic. Usually this happens when I'm in a very boring situation, such as class.

when i was a kid i had sort of dreams, but awake, og people yelling from a far distance but i could hear them as if they were yelling in my ears... that was awful.
i've heard that ear hallucinations are way more serious than eye hallucinations and that people who get that are going pretty bad and should seek prof. help before they go crazy. it's considered a very serious thing.

no, they were actually talking, not yelling and i heard them talking in my ear, but with a amplified volume, but they were NOT yelling, very disturbing.

I sometimes have a feeling where everything is moving incredibly fast but incredibly slow at the same time. It only happens when it's really quiet... it's like my sensory perception has been stepped up a couple of notches to everything around me.
And i used to have weird pre-sleep sensations that were kind of similar when i was younger. I used to have strange "visuals" that weren't really visual, it was more a sensation of "feeling" monochrome, very complex geometric "things" merging into each other, quickly and slowly at the same time. It always ended with a really "perfect" merge, and it gave me a really strange sensation of happiness and fear at the same time. Thinking back, it was pretty fucking trippy.
I've never tried to explain that before, so it might make no sense.

only 1 in 25000 ppl get it. when you hear a ringing sound does it visualize in front of your eyes? or when you see a bright colour does it hum in your ears like a warm synth pad? if not, then you most likely dont have it.

I've had a few isolated incidents where i'm half asleep and I actually feel like i just touched (or experienced?) an object, the object usually has a texture i've never felt or it might be a combination of all textures i've felt. Its quite weird as I will quickly wake up wanting to know what the hell just happened.

im having a hard time sleeping lately.. it happens quite often that i see something (someone?!?!) standing infront of my bed, it's a really creepy feeling, it's a really child like thing.. but i cant help it, it comes just when im about to sleep.
Sometimes when im really tired i also see stuff on the walls, shadows of birds flying by and spiders crawling around, just quick images.. i cant really tell if theyre real or not when i see them but when thinking about it i realised that theres no birds in my house, it's just my mind fucking up.
it's really scary.. just the second when you see something it's scary

woah, is that really a symptom of something, cause that happens to me, same with vise versa...ventolin makes my vision seem much like an ill-tuned TV set. What is this a symptom of, are there other symptoms I should watch out for, am I going insane?

Pennyworth, have you ever seen or felt the presence of death as an entity? i mean it's similar to what happens with the texture and vastness feeling, but its the worst thing

what some of you mentioned is linked with what was mentioned earlier; Synthasthesia. There was a documentary on about it about a month ago, some people have obvious 'symptoms' of it. It also mentioned that it could be just a part of the human condition, some people are just more aware of it or have stronger symptoms than others.
Some of you also sound like you're talking about Astral Projection, which I find hard to believe.

Sometimes, although not that often now, I would sort of visualise myself as an impossibly huge person, but tiny at the same time. It was quite disturbing, because you flicked from appearing huge to tiny.
It was a bit like those images that don't change, but as you look and focus it sort of shifts, like the elepant with the funny legs image.
Also hearing peoples voices which had been extremely slowed. Normally, it was just a single phrase repeated at an impossibly slow speed, sort of like timestretching, only it was perfect, it was the same pitch and formant, just scarily slow.
This sort of stuff happened a lot as a kid when i had fevers and things.
