Have you ever had a Lucid dream or a Hypnagogic hallucinations

Have you ever had a Lucid dream or a Hypnagogic hallucinations

As a child I used to have lucid dreams where I could interact or control the reality I was dreaming. As I got older I started to ask the people in my dreams if they are real or are they part of me. They would say I was crazy and they are real, It was impossible for me to know what they where thinking or about to say, it was as if they where there own person.
At times when I wake up, I am paralyzed and I see people or things, once there was a knocking at the door which woke me up. I thought it was my mum, instead a blue floating girl floated towards me and whispered something in my ear, as I touched her she disappeared and faded away. This was no dream, I have had various things like this happen through my life and I think its because of Autism.
This is where ghosts and alien abduction stories might come from, the body paralyzed you when you sleep so you dont act out your dreams and sleep walk. Sometimes the mind wakes up when the body is sleeping giving a frightening paralyzed experience.

Now my mum once told me that she awoke to see a little boy who talked to her and then he faded away. This makes me think that the Autism Trait was passed down from her side of the family, even though NF1 can also cause Autism.
This paper suggests that females can be carriers of the Autism Gene, yet men are more likely to show autistic traits. Men can still pass on the gene but its less likely, females can also have autistic traits. The ratio is 1:4


The role of sex-differential biology in risk for autism spectrum disorder

Now on my mums side their entire family is female, except for my granddad who was a quiet reserved person and my uncle, who I can now see Autistic traits in his behavior. My mum cut him of because she thought he was acting up. Now it all makes sense, I do wonder if the autism came from my granddad which is a statistic improbability.

I just came up with this recently and it surprised my mum as all her side of the family are anxious and taking medication and so on. As they are all females mostly, the autistic traits are not as bad as they could be. Im not saying females cant have it bad though.

When I self medicate, which I dont think any of you should, it can trigger these dream hallucinations, which makes me think its all down to dopamine.
I dont see Mr Robot Hallucinations when I am awake and I know I dont have schizophrenia.

So I wonder if there is a link between abnormal dreams and autism ?

  • I had a brain injury a few years ago and suffered / enjoyed a series of hallucinations for some time afterwards.

    None were scary - as an engineer, I was fascinated by my own brain producing a 110% real reality for me on-the-fly.

    The smaller ones were extra people in my peripheral vision - a person sitting on the other sofa reading a book.   The were dressed in jeans, a heavy white jumper and work boots with their ankles crossed and I could see them turning the pages of the book.     If I looked directly at them, they weren't there - but if I watch the tv again, they appear again  (it's about a 30 degree angle off to the side).

    Another clear peripheral vision was a little white dog playing in the hallway and chasing his own tail - again, if I looked directly, he wasn't there. 

    Another was people walking between two rooms across the hall - too quickly for me to turn to look directly.

    Another was one wall in the bedroom having textured wallpaper - even though it's plain plaster - I could examine it closely and leave the room but it was still there when I came back - just one wall.  

    These are all middle of the day, good light and I was fully awake and could describe it to my wife in real time.

    glitches in the matrix.

    Are dreams what we think they are ?
    If the multiverse is real and you believe in quantum physics and entanglement, then is it not possible our dreams are fragmented views of other peoples life's fragmented because we dont understand. Its almost at times I know the directions to places that dont exist in my dreams, as if there is some sort of universal shared memory, we are the universes expressing it self.

    How about sleep being when you slide sideways into a parallel dimension?     As there are infinite universes, odds are the one you slide into is extremely similar to the one you just left - so you don't notice.

    As you go through life sliding every time you sleep, as you get older, you're more likely to jump onto a separate parallel branch that split off earlier where you don't recognise things - is this dementia?

    As more time goes by, you're on such a different branch that that split off much earlier in your life that you don't recognise anything....   Even the people claiming to be your family....

    Are hallucinations just the bit in that day's parallel world that you happen to notice as different?
