Does anybody else experience a similar phenomenon but with their auditory system? Whenever I'm falling asleep in a room with white noise (usually a fan) I swear I hear people talking, songs, animal noises... But it's just the fan.
Guys, we better up his dose.

That said, in the last year or so I have begun to enjoy music from the extractor fan in our kitchen. Each time it is on I hear a random genre of music - plain chant, brass band, jazz, etc. I don't experience it in any other context (or any other hallucinations before you ask). Anyone else get something like this?
I watched this for ten minutes and didn't see anything (apart from a flashing red screen). I'm supposed to be the artistic one in the family, so I can't help but feel slightly disdapointed. I've always suspected that people who claimed they could visualize things with great clarity were lying (the "images" in my mind's eye are very fleeting, lacking in detail, and can't be focused on -- like they're on the extremes o…
Question: When asked to remember a person's face, can you see it in your head/"mind's eye"? FWIW, I don't think the ability to visualize something specifically in your "mind's eye" has a lot to do with creativity. I interpret this as more about direct recall of memory. The stronger the visuals the more likely you are to be able to recall a specific event/visual in more detail (whether it's accurate is up for debate).…
I've seen absolutely nothing on this flashing screen despite looking at it for around 5 minutes. I don't think everyone else is lying, but i wonder if other people's brains just get "bored" and start imagining things, on a moving visual canvas.
Overall, this was totally disappointing.

Interesting. I do not have aphantasia. Actually it is easy for me to visually imagine. However, trying out this Ganzfield flicker for more than 5 minutes did nothing for me. Maybe I will try again later in a darker room and for a longer duration.

Somewhat unrelated but has anyone here experience fever dreams where you are surrounded by something you can't quite comprehend and can't do anything but try to comprehend it? It's almost like a huge maze, grid, or some other pattern but painful to look at. The dream tends to be extremely unpleasant and usually returns after falling back asleep. I was trying to explain it to a friend the other day and didn't do a ver…
I am not sure about this. If you stare at anything for long enough you get peculiar effects in your vision (try it).
