Ability to tune in or tune out of senses

Kelly

Are you able to tune in or tune out of your senses?

I find I am normally oblivious to things like sounds and smells and touch but if I pay attention I become hyper sensitive and find my sense of smell hugely improves or I become hyper aware of sounds or touch. Its like I can choose what I pay attention to or what I block out.

Does anyone else have a similar experience?

  • When I'm really tired or a little tipsy, and while I drift off to sleep or am just waking up, I find everything gets really disturbingly loud, even the sounds that are so faint I'd hardly notice them under normal circumstances. I think I have found a way to block my senses on a subconscious level and that ability goes away when I am not as conscious as usual. I'm not sure if that's the same thing as what you describe, but perhaps it is related.
