I came to your website while searching for information on CEV’s as I had an insane night long experience beginning with robbing banks, watching multitudes of architecture from celtic to modern float by, designing runway gowns and finally writing a novel. Also had a complete world of alien life forms and their interactions. I have been on a “mood stabilizing” drug and decided to cut down on it just by a little. I laid in that fully aware eye closed dreaming state for about 12 hours. If you are interested let me know. I have had a few interesting experiences.

[...] Hacks has another round-up of Spike Activity here and also has a book in the pipeline which I’m sure will be well worth looking out [...]

That’s great news, Vaughan! I’m positive it’ll be a fantastic and compelling read, as always.

1. Closed Eye Visuals and subtle auditory hallucinations before sleep or during exhaustion.

2. Hallucinations during alcohol or drug withdrawal, or when sick.

3. Situational Awareness, or the sense of one’s surroundings, which may include things unseen.

4. Self-Awareness, or the perception of one’s self, which may include a sort of mental movie from an impossible perspective or images of oneself that are not wholly accurate.

5. Cases of mistaken vision–”I thought I saw a cat over there, but it was just a shoe.”

6. Cases of mistaken identity–”I thought you were someone else.”

I see things all the time now. I am always looking for new insight on my condition as it is getting progressively worse..To keep from going completely mad I paint, and faces appear simply by running my brush across the canvas..Horrible images of what I think of now as lost souls..I pray they find God, and its as if someone loud is living with me..I have found myself driving up one way streets with the whole ground waving before my eyes..The stars move all the time..I see faces everywhere..I am a total wreck and unable to function .. I look forward to reading this book..

Thank You.

I second the hypnogogia vote. I’ve had it all my life. Every night, before I fall asleep, I hallucinate all kinds of things, albeit behind closed eyes. I hear it’s not uncommon & associated with creative people. Would love to read about it in your book.

When my lover died, too soon and too suddenly, “I” observed “my mind” play out in story form these two scenarios: In the first, he would always be on his way home; in the second, I would never have actually known him.

The observer self weighed the options and “decided” that psychosis would not satisfy the problem that the story maker was trying to solve.

True story. You may quote me.
