Hallucinations & Othe

Hallucinations & Other Sick Stories.

When you all have been sick, have ya ever had a funny hallucination? It usually happens during a fever and I've had multiple times. Or have any other funny things happened when you were sick?

I once went down to stand halfway down the stairway (I really thought I was better) and said to my daddy, who was sitting at the table below,"Guess what? I'm bet--" And I puked all over the landing. And myself. So much for being better.

Another time, I had a fever and I was lying down. But I got up and went downstairs and very seriously, I told my parents and siblings (I'll just call my sister J in this thing) "J has her legs all over the bed." For some weird reason I was convinced that J had her legs all over my bed and wasn't leaving any room for me. Then J, who was downstairs, so she really , even if she did have more then two legs, couldn't have any of them on my bed, got annoyed because, in order to convince me that she hadn't left her legs on my bed, she had to climb out of her sleeping bag and show me her legs. I was a funny child.

Anyway, has anybuggy else had funny hallucinations?

Well, sort of. I fainted on my birthday a few years ago when I was taking viola lessons (I don't play it anymore) Anyway, I was sick a few days before, but I was feeling ok now, just with a stuffy nose. (I really wanted to go to school and see my friends!) I told the music teacher I need to go to the bathroom since I had a cramp. When I got back, it didn't help and my head felt feint. I was all dizzy and couldn't hear a lot of stuff. I thought I was back at home on my bed and I fell backwards. It didn't feel like the hard floor it was, just my bed. Maybe I'd sleep for awhile... then my music teacher started shaking me and panicing and calling the nurse. Sighing, I got up and told him I was fine (my dizziness had went away) But NO, I had to go in a wheel chair because I was so "mentally unstable". Eh, at least I got to take the elevator. I went home with my dad and got to watch TV, which was good. And my whole class made get better cards! I fainted another time before when it was really hot and I didn't have a lot of water. So, kids, drink a lot of water during the day, and don't come to school if you feel really sick!

Too bad you don't play viola anymore, because the viola is the best.

My brain is constantly doing weird things, but I don't think I've had any hallucinations.

Trust me, I was a bad viola player. I do think violins, violas, and cellos sound nice to my ear though :) I now play the flute, and working on saxophone.

When I got really dehydrated over the summer my head was floating and I was freezing and everything looked funny.

Well even though I'm not sick , sometimes I SWEAR my phone is vibrating ... even though I'm looking RIGHT at it , and it's not .


And once , I missed this boy aaaaa lot , and I coulda sworn that I saw him walk down the street . ( But he wasn't . He moved 10 minutes away and i knew for a fact it wasn't him ) .

 

Another time , I had mono and was by myself at the house , and I thought I'd left the TV on & went to the bathroom , but when I came back , it was OFF . Creepy o.O

Well, I wasn't sick, but I almost fainted durning a classmate's Steve Jobs speech, because dressing up like Bach in a room full of people on a hot day with a wig is never really a good idea, unlike what I thought.

When I was in first grade I was sleeping in my new room and I thought I saw a penguin ghost. And once I thought I saw a green dog's sillouete in our neighbor's yard. Tricks of the light are as close as I've come, I guess.

Okay, this is probably my star hallucination story.

One time, I'm not even sure whether I was sick or not, but my older brother was going downstairs really late at night to put his laundry in the washer. And I came out of my parent's room (where I sleep) and said to him, "Give me back my chocolate". I was stubbornly convinced that he had taken my chocolate and was hiding it downstairs in the washing machine and was going to eat it. I woke up my dad with my screaming and it took pratically all night to convince me that he hadn't taken my chocolate and wasn't hding it. My poor brother.  When I woke up in the morning, I had no memory of doing this, but my siblings told me. I was a stubborn child.

My older sister talks in her sleep. You can hold intelligent conversations with her when she's asleep, it's really funny.

Also, one time, my sisters and I (this was when we were all in the hotel and we had two beds, two people per bed) were sleeping. And in the middle of the ngiht, I couldn't sleep, so I was still awake, my sister starting humming high-pitchedly and the other ones started groaning and weren't making it any easier for me to sleep. And in the morning none of them remember it. Sigh, sisters can be so annoying sometimes. Even when they're sleeping!

I'm sick right now. I don't think I've ever had any hallucinations though. I do have a tendency to faint, which I did this morning.

I've only fainted once in my life, but I have the symptoms of fainting (fuzzy vision, humming in ears, sweating, queasy stomach and being dizzy) a couple times a year. After fainting once, I learned what to do if I felt the symptoms again.

Yeah, I've only actually fully gone out 3 of the 6 times that I've fainted, the other times were just super bad symptoms. I fainted AGAIN yesterday morning, so my mom wouldn't let me out of bed this morning until she was sure that I wasn't going to faint again, which I didn't, thank goodness. When I fainted on Monday, I went fully out, but yesterday, I was aware the entire time.

Well, this is sort of hallucinating, but there are two things that I do that are completely unexplainable. 

The first is something that everyone at my school inexplicably, inevitably does. We call it "phantom bell syndrome", well, at least I do. At random times during school, or even during the weekend or summer, we will hear the bell going off (it has a very distinctive sound.. sort of a repeating tone, but not a bell bell -- like if someone pressed the same key on a piano over and over). No-one knows why or how -- it just happens, regardless of grade, age, or time. 

Also, one night, I got up at precisely 11:30 at night, pressed the off button on my alarm clock (even though I later found out that there was no way it could have possibly gone off), and got in the shower. I finished my shower and got dressed before going to my parents' room to find out why my parents weren't awake yet. This was when I finally looked at the clock. So I had to change back into pajamas, try my best to dry my hair, and get back into bed. To this day, I don't know why it happened. And that wasn't the last time it happened, either. I've done it about three times since then. My friends have all done it too, at some point. Has this happened to any of you, or am I just slowly going mad?

Well, I sleepwalk almost every night. I never remember them.

My favorite one is when I apparently had to go to the bathroom. My sister and I were at her friend's house for the night. They have lofts. I went down the ladders and looked under the lofts for the door (which is, by the way, not where the door is) and started banging on the walls, screaming, "Where is it? WHERE IS IT?????" And everyone tried to tell me it was somewhere else.  I have no memory of this.
