Exploding head syndrome

[Aquari]

Sounds silly doesnt it?, but its a real thing, Exploding head syndrome is a type of Parasomnia that occurs when youre going to sleep, while sleeping or when youre waking up, its an auditory hallucination in which you hear a loud booming sound like a bomb exploding or a clash of cymbals, the good thing is that its painless, but sufferers do wake up scared/startled.

Spoiler: More info on it here

so have any of you experienced this?

i certainly have 4-5 times, most of which occur right before i actually fade into dreamland, i wake up just a bit startled then i wait 5mins before going back to sleep so it doesnt happen again.

Yes...I have had this happen to me...

 

[oath2order]

My head has exploded right now.

I am currently headless.

 

[seliph]

I've experienced it quite a few times before

It wasn't fun

 

[Bowie]

I've had a form of it twice. Once during an astral projection attempt, and once completely out of the blue.

 

[Aquari]

i havent had another in a while, for some reason i kinda want it to happen again

 

[RainbowCherry]

No. I usually wake up loud, continous beeping, but not anything like that.

 

[ZetaFunction]

I've never experienced it before. It doesn't look too fun or exciting though.

I don't know if I had it. I was falling asleep on the toilet once, and then I heard this message. "We missed you" It started to echo, and now I have fear of sleeping on the toilet, which is a good thing. But is that what you're talking about? Or was it something different?

I find the name of this slightly unsettling but yes I've experienced this quite a few times

I personally think that "exploding head syndrome" is actually caused by yourself doing astral projection. Could it be possible that many people have done astral projection without even knowing it?

Well, no. I did read it. And it reminded me of that incident that happened to me before. When I said if that the same thing is what's the op is saying, the op said no. So now, I still don't know because that's not the case.

What you experienced is called: Falling asleep

its when you hear a very loud booming sound while you sleep like a bomb exploding or cymbals crashing

And hear what I've been dreaming loudly? That's not something you experience everyday. It woke me up as if I was surprised. I could still hear it as I was awake. And I couldn't move my neck for a few seconds.

Yes
Your brain can make you see/hear some weird **** when you're in the state of falling asleep, especially if you're really tired
