I don't have schizophrenia but I have stayed awake for multiple days and started to hallucinate. Is similar to any thing you guys have experienced?

I started getting mild audio hallucination, I would think people were calling my name.

Later it started feeling like the room was rotating at wierd angles.

I started seeing some of my furniture and walls warping and moving.

After the warping I mainly paid attention to these mannequins I have that started slowly moving around on their pedestals for most of the night.

I also think I saw a shoebox devour what looked like a soul.

At one point I tried recording the hallucinations with my phone and for some reason whenever I looked at the video it would just move the way it currently is in real time. Though I knew I was getting visual hallucinations but u started to think the moving mannequins were legit.

>has anyone else experienced this?


I usually never get this but it was fun for a one-time experience but I would hate going about my life like this.

Yeah that happens to me a lot. Sometimes I even drop what I'm doing to seek out the voice.

>Later it started feeling like the room was rotating at wierd angles.

Sometimes. Yesterday I was getting something out of the fridge and it felt like the fridge rotated like 50 degrees while I had in my head in it. Literally backed up away from it with anxiety.

>I started seeing some of my furniture and walls warping and moving.

Never had that happen.

…why do you have mannequins?

Oh also I have this miniature bonsai tree that started moving as if it were a snake.

And when I first started hallucinating they seemed choppy and looked like a video game but after a few hours they seemed more real and their motions were more fluid.

Never had a plant start moving but I remember there was a coat in a closet I saw start to move at me out of the corner of my eye that I almost threw a punch at once.

I have gotten something similar. A couple of times it felt like someone burst through my door and was about to lounge at me even though I didn't see anything.

Oh yeah, it used to be a huge problem for me of having that sense that someone had walked into my room even though no one had. It was eerie.

I do not have schizophrenia, but I have stayed awake for 2 days in a row and stuff like this happened.

I kept seeing black dots in the corner of my vision and moving shadows. Constantly though some of the food crumbs on my desk(I am a sloppy person) were bugs and spiders, swatting them away.

Looking at any one thing for too long either caused my eyes to feel like they were burning or I would just get absorbed into it.

While the room didn't necessarily swirl, I did feel a huge loss of…"grace" and became very clumsy.

Music that I usually enjoyed just annoyed me. In addition, I was very very irritable at the slightest thing and reacted explosively at anger…which is directly contrary to my usual near-emotionless state.

Whenever I would put my headphones on, I would constantly be looking over my shoulder just waiting for someone to sneak up on me.

Also felt as if time slowed down tenfold. It was only two days but it felt like a week.

The only reason I did all of this in the first place was because I was really dedicated to finishing something. I can't quite remember what it was but it was most certainly important to me.

I guess if you want to taste madness, stay up for a few days. It is a wonder that only a few hours of sleep can ensure sanity(at least for those who aren't already mad) while going without just causes your brain to go haywire.

A few years ago I actually tried to stay awake as long as possible just to see if I would start hallucinating. Made it to 2-3 days but all I saw was spiders on the walls. I can't even hallucinate right!

It's rather normal. Ive stayed awake for 3 days straight once and started to see things. shadows and orbs of light at the corner of my eye… Insomnia being a bitch.

Only hallucinations I've gotten in my life are auditory ones of people saying my name when I've had a ton of caffeine, and then swooping shadow geometry that took me a decade to realize it was a hallucination.

I even took LSD and didn't hallucinate.

Sometimes if I continuously stare at a blank wall I can see some strange kind of mist and abstract colours fill the room. They kind of pulse in and out of focus, steadily changing shape and size. I know it's not really there, of course, but it still looks cool. Is this normal? I have no idea.

I'm curious, what does a soul look like?
