I Hear Music That Isn’t Real

Sometimes, I hold my head just right.

I hear things

Just for me:

I hear music that isn’t real,

Some vibrating symphony.

I tell myself the tinnitus is acting up.

I blasted music

And sat by speakers

When I was young and indestructible.

The dying cochlear hair cells are screaming

And someone is playing something

Somewhere besides here.

It’s just some accidental harmony

That’s too scientific for me.

Whatever it is, the music isn’t real.

Vibrations in the lobe and canal

Are just trying to interpret something

With the best context they can.

It’s not like I’m mad, or anything.

Then again,

I still

Sometimes see

The smoking vistages

In my peripheral vision.

Hallucinating is normal, many people experience it. You have most likely at least passed someone in the street who was hallucinating once. Or you've worked alongside a coworker who was actively hallucinating and you didn't even notice. Or your loved one hallucinated while you were in the room, but they were afraid to tell you.

Hallucinating is common, it's just not commonly talked about in everyday situations. If you don't experience it, or don't know someone who does and tells you about it, you've probably only heard it in the news or on TV. And they only really represent the worst possible outcome for shock value. But that isn't representative of how most of us who hallucinate experience it.

Most of us are just like everybody else, living our lives, just with the addition of hallucinations. We may need to take pills every day, or need therapy, or need to stay in mental hospitals sometimes, or need to be checked on by loved ones, but so do a lot of other people who don't hallucinate.

Hallucinations are just a symptom. Just like anxiety, or trouble concentrating, or tiredness. A lot of people experience it and have to learn to cope overtime. The only difference is we don't generally talk about it to people in casual settings. And it's because of the stigma. If you don't hallucinate, or know someone who does, you probably don't see hallucinations as a normal part of life, a symptom, just a thing plenty of people experience. But it is, it's not special, it isn't more dangerous, it doesn't have to be a huge deal.

Obviously hallucinations can be life changing and horrific, but so can other mental health symptoms. Hallucinations can also be neutral, or just annoying or even a positive experience. It's just a symptom, it doesn't automatically mean someone is in the worst mental state possible if they are hallucinating. It doesn't automatically mean someone is dangerous or unpredictable. It just means a person is experiencing senses that the people around them are not.

You have to learn to accept that it's just a symptom, and that people around you experience it, and they deserve to complain or talk about it just like anyone else gets to with other things in their lives. All you have to do is listen, and try to be understanding. Hallucinating is normal, you just need to stop treating it like it's abnormal.

In the Sandman, since Dream 'came into existence once lifeforms capable of dreaming appeared in the universe', I wonder what that lifeform is and what did it dream of. Like what is the first dream in the universe about.

#idk of the comics have anything about that though. I'm only on book 4 #some post on twitter about how octopuses (which is like super different from human in evolution) can dream got me thinking #about dreams in animal and generally other lifeforms #from what we know there are few studies on dreams in animals #we can only study their behavior while they sleep or compare brain waves with human REM sleep or something of a sort #we don't exactly know if animals can dream the way we dream #dreams in animals are interesting to me because #it makes me wonder what these bizarre visual and auditory hallucinations the brain cooks up each night are and what are they for #we can only theorize that it organizes the brain and help with memory and learning and simulating events etc.#if many animals dream despite having very different ancestors then it's definitely something useful #I don't know how to explain but it's simply wild to think about. I don't know how it doesn't blow my stupid little brain #studying dream in animals might give us more insight to dreams in human I think #delete later

Can we pretend "Arkham Knight" is one word? 😁

There's blood on his tongue and it doesn't matter how familiar the taste is to him - he chokes on it. Panicked as he lists to the side, fumbling to regain his footing and defend himself from another beating.

Only the hit doesn't come from where he expects. It doesn't hurt like it should.

The vision he sees of Joker fades, but Jason hears him clear as anything - that cold and malicious c a c k l e. He heaves a breath, body trembling as he starts to panic. Trying and failing to find his bearings as another hit takes Jason to the ground.

And Jason might hate himself for it He's not Robin anymore; he's the - he's the Arkham Knight. Joker can't touch him like this. No one can touch him like this! Only that's a lie, isn't it? Because Jason is as vulnerable as he's ever been.

Beneath his helmet, Jason's face twists with frustration and self-loathing. "Get it together,' he tells himself, but his gaze still twitches to look at hallucinations instead of the man that's actually there beating his ass. Between one moment and the next, Jason sees Batman then Joker and then Batman again and he doesn't - Jason doesn't know what's real.

(Did he ever get out? Is he still there? Everything still hurts).

He looks a fool, fighting a man that's there; defending against a monster that isn't.

Jason was supposed to be okay. He's supposed to be okay now! Why the fuck isn't he!?

#arkham knight #jason todd #au in which jason isn't put together in the least and has trauma that aggressively presents itself as visual and auditory hallucinations an #it fucks up his plans ):#weyr you keep picking words that i have nothing for ahahahaha #like i have one ak!jason drabble in the tumblr drafts but I don't use the words!! orz so once again here's this off the cuff thing lol

Might document some of my reoccurring hallucinations and delusions in a little masterpost. It'll help me organize it, plus others can share their experiences too.

ever since I had theworst psychotic episode I've ever had in november I've been so so scared of the dark I'd kill myself if I looked at a dark space and saw a demon sorry I'm so scared of demons now and knowing imscared makes it worse because that might make it more probable.. I literally feel terrified every time I go to sleep even when I lie in bed reading on my phone I'm so scared of checking what's in my peripheral wauh help I'm glad I always fall asleep as soon as I close my eyes

#and I've never had very complex visual hallucinations mostly just auditory im just scared it could start wah.

This morning I had to convince Nana that she wasn't dead after she either dreamed or hallucinated a phone call with an old friend (dead) who asked after my grandpa (also dead). 😕

#she has not been diagnosed with dementia but she is increasingly confused and disoriented #and she's having auditory and visual hallucinations more frequently #and she's starting to have trouble dismissing her dreams or understanding that they're not real #(hence why I don't know if the phone call was a dream or not)#this isn't the first time she's asked me if she was dead either #it's been a long week and it's only tuesday...#my nana #my family and other rodents

Inktober day 26

Lana was one of the first sheneral weavers of Santropia. A shrieker who quickly lost control of her magic, she removed her grounding gem in an attempt to escape the worsening hallucinations - and discovered the grave consequences of doing so.

She lives on, now fully Severed, having somewhat made peace with the nothingness that awaits her after death.

Tldr she fucked around and found out

#inktober #inktober 2023 #my art #oc art #oc artist #fantasy oc #Timotheus is a shrieker too #which is why theres usually weird shit going on in drawinfs of them #its the type of weaving most likely to go unstable just cause of the nature of it #visual and auditorial hallucinations and stuff

psychosis?

yes.

we are on the schizo spectrum. and have been for as long as we can remember.

we experience visual, audio and.. wdk what its called.. sensory hallucinations?? ones where you feel something..

we take antipsychotics and have on and off since middle school.

meds don't work

some hallucinations are fine.

they're nice

they're safe.

they're comforting.

some hallucination?

so scary.

so hard.

so stressful.

causes anxiety

and panic attacks.

and all that bad stuff..

i haven’t been sleeping because The Horrors so I’ve been terraforming my island for like 7 hrs straight and then knocking it all down and doing it again

#terraforming in acnh is like a drug to me #it’s so satisfying I don’t do anything to my island but make clifs and knock them down #and talk to my bff cephalobot #when I say the horrors I mean auditory and visual hallucinations

While the static often brings forth great anguish, it can also be very silly and very funny. And given that I often only speak of the struggle it comes with, I figured I’d share some aspects of it that only make me giggle to myself and think “What the hell?” in a humorous way. (You might not find it super funny, but in comparison to the other more angsty things I tend to post, it’s straight comedy.)

Sometimes, especially when I’m struggling to properly translate the weird language in my head to English and struggling to process thought and such (i.e. thought disorder), I tend to mix up words. And it’s not just the normal accident either, I genuinely cannot say the proper word, my tongue won’t bend to my will at all. It’s certainly frustrating, but also something that tends to make me laugh. For example: one time, I was attempting to convey how I thought that a certain store had a decently wide and variable selection of items. My mouth and brain would not cooperate at all, and I just kept repeating “erection” no matter how hard I tried to form the word “selection.” I’m not choosing from fucking erections.

I often see and feel both pets that I and my relative’s have had in the past and present. For example: we used to have this black cat (that actually looked exactly like Blair, funnily enough, except her name was Mia. She was just as horny, though, and routinely assaulted us all), and I still see her following me around sometimes. I even felt her, along with other pets, sitting in my lap in the car, and could see her from my lower peripheral vision, and began to pet her, until I asked myself, “Did we bring a pet? I didn’t think we did…” And I looked down only to realize that there was nothing there.

When I was really young, and first began experiencing “tripping sober,” (Who says it wasn’t real? Dr. Status Quos 😞) anytime I heard a voice, particularly a male one (more common than female at the time, I hear both more often now, or seemingly sex-neutral voices, as in voices I struggle to tell whether or not are male or female) calling my name or saying something to me, I would automatically ask myself, “Is that the God I’m always told about?” And that right there, folks, is the backstory of a cult leader /hj.
