Happened to me like a couple of days ago. I’m trying to sleep right? But my brain is just simulating me playing a game I got into recently. But like, not imagining it, actually simulating it. Half realistic too!
But it’s such an overload, like I have no control over it. It’s as if I’m actually playing the game and payin attention to every single detail irl and the only thing that prevents me from actually thinking I’m playing the game are my senses. This goes on for like 3 HOURS or something and then I get up from my bed in frustration and go “wtf am I doing? I’m not actually playing the game why can’t I just think calmer toughts instead?”
And then lay down again and GOTCHA BITCH WE’RE NOT DONE YET
this happens VERY rarely to me. Like that day I was kind of sick too, but I also remember like a couple of years ago when I had a similar thing where my mind was “solving” some equation rhat didn’t actually exist. I was half asleep after waking up and spend like a good half an hour or somehing while sitting on a toilet doing calculations in my mind until I snapped like “wait, wtf am I even doing???”
So yea anyone else experience that or is it just me
they call that dreaming
ok but sometimes when i’m sorting and i’m really tired and literally falling asleep, my brain will start generating this fake 4tran. like i’ll try to press on the screen and in my head i’m typing a reply, but then i wake up and realize i just had a microsleep and only imagined that. that’s usually when i finally put the phone down and go to sleep
No it is a conscious thought trust me it’s very draining. Like I don’t know how many of those 3+ hours was spent actually sleeping but most of it was me half awake trying to think of something else and failing completely
Also I know you!!! Hello bestie whom I recognize!!! :>
heh, i’m somewhat of a microceleb myself
Hypnogogic hallucinations!
I just looked into it and these are NOT brief I cant lie to you
Tho I can give myself auditory hallucinations while trying to sleep semi-consistently. Even remember getting up and looking around to see wtf that “noise” was when I was little lol.
Is this like, bad or?
I think I don’t have those briefly too? I’m used to the fact that before sleep my brain does random shit idk
But these aren’t like normal daydreams melting into actual dreams. These are more like my brain is locked in on one singular thing and it will not stop until it completes the tought which doesn’t end by nature. It’s as elaborate and energy consuming as conscious toughts are but also as involuntary as actual dreams are.
I don’t even know how many of those 3+ hours was spent sleeping but I do remember what it was like more or less.
Unless I’m just describing what you are thinking of then idk
I think I had shit like that, but it’s kinda rare so I don’t pay attention. I don’t really know what else it could be :/
It’s fine I’m not that worried about it anyways (tho ever since someone in here said I might be schizotypal I have been more self conscious about possible symptoms icl)
yes when I’m tired or sick pretty reliably… sucks
your ass did NOT read the whole thing but ok good to know
i did, stop invalidating my lived experienceI’m sorry I won’t do it again ( ´-｀)
kiss
I have like, 10 hours in the game (tho I did play it a couple years ago but the combined hours wouldn’t justify it either)
