I'm a 20 year old male. I work out 3 times a week, I eat right and I get plenty of sleep. I don't use drugs (I've drank alcohol in the past, and experimented with marijuana and salvia divinorum and other than that I don't consume caffeine, aspirin or high amounts of sugar). I don't use medicine. I have no history of mental illness, (I used to have an anger problem and I have that under control) and I need help trying to find out what has been recently happening to me.


1.)I have been hearing extremely loud noises that no one else around me can hear. They are so loud they make me jump. For those of you who know what a flash bang grenade sounds like, imagine that sound multiplied into an almost “buzzing” noise. Other times, it sounds like a radio or a television out of tune; only with extreme volume. It's not tinnitus, this makes me scared.

2.)I have been experiencing time differently. I have had the experience of “missing” time, and also the experience of experiencing a certain amount of time “in between time”; kind of like living ten minutes in two seconds.

3.)I have been seeing things with my eyes whether they be open or closed. Usually complex geometrical shapes accompanied with the noises.

4.)I have been dreaming while fully conscious and AWAKE of places that don't exist, people I have never seen, and things that aren't real! These “dreams” are lucid and happen in a certain amount of time in between time and sometimes, although rarely, result in missing time.


All of these things either happen independently or simultaneously, without any order.

Here is paraphrased version to the best of my recollection, the very first time I've experienced all of these symptoms simultaneously.

I was attending morning service at my local church and I was seated in the center of a pew listening to the sermon. I heard a very loud sound and kind of jumped because it scared me. I looked around and saw that no one else had heard it. I heard it again, only this time it was louder than the first and it was accompanied by a static noise. I continued listening to the sermon. I heard it a third time, the noise the static and my vision blurred, and instantly everything was in grayish black and white. It looked as if everything was covered in a grey mold and snow (like an out of focus television). Everything in my vision disappeared and I saw a lot of strange geometrical shapes (of various sizes) and bright lights. Then everything reversed into what looked like a reflection of what I was experiencing and then suddenly everything went black and I couldn't sense anything. Then suddenly it was as if everything was reset. This all happened in between a sentence the preacher was saying.

There are other times where they all happened at the same time but it is too strange for me to remember anything worth posting.

What does this sound like to you?
