Background
A description of the experience
Oliver Sacks – Hallucinations
I wake on my stomach to the sensation that the mattress is breathing.
I cannot move and the terror sets in as l "see" the marbled grey skin with sparse black hairs underneath me.
I am sprawled on the back of a walking elephant ….. The absurdity of my hallucinations causes me to collapse with cataplexy….
[Another time] as I am waking from a nap I "see " myself in the corner of the bedroom … I am close to the ceiling slowly floating to the floor by parachute.
During the hallucinations it seemed perfectly normal and I am left with a very peaceful serene feeling
