Seeing Through My Eyelids...

[blade5x]

I woke up in a weird state this morning. I wasn't in Sleep-Paralysis, but I was barely concious, actually, I don't think I was even concious. But I remember seeing the wall in front of my face, and it was sort of in black and white (second time this has happened), and for a moment I realized what was going on, and just focused in on this. I then opened me eyes physically, and saw that even though my face was turned toward the fall, everything was kind of off. The angle was slightly off, covers were not in same position, and it was in color obviously

So was I "seeing through my eyelids" or was this just HI?

This is also one of those nights where I can't remember my dreams... I was pretty depressed when Edmonton (NHL) lost last night

Hey blade5x,

I think the whole seeing through the eyelids is a form of HI. I've experienced this a lot (including variations on it, such as having a book held in front of my face etc), and it always occurs either in a SP state or on the border of waking/sleep. On most occassions, once I become aware of what is happening, I wake up more fully and it fades.

idk if its just HI, i tripped mushrooms last night and could close my eyes or open them and it looked the exact same. also it was a different vision, more like looking threw a skateboard lense(half sphere), and i could see farther and wider, was very wierd. and like i was sitting in one spot but looking from another angle, and it felt like i was in control of my astal body but still inside my human

Tripping is very similar to some experiences from the hypnogogic/hypnopompic state (in my own experience anyway). There are possible explainations why - such as theories which link DMT production in the brain to dreams. And psilocybin (4-Phosphoryloxy-N,N-
dimethyltryptamine) which is the psychoactive ingredient in mushrooms is in the same family of drugs as DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine).
