I have experienced the things that you mentioned recently, prior to, I have experienced supernatural events as a child up into adult hood. I have not been diagnosed as having seizures, but I truly believe that I am, and again the slow motion, lego effect things only started after my surgury. I understand where you're coming from and I to question some events that has happened to me recently. I have experienced them both. The things that you have described above kind of gave me concrete evidence that I may very well be having aura's/simple partial seizures? I'm never sure how to classify them. All the seizure/aura stuff is new to me. Thanks for your post. I found it helpful!
What you describe does sound like seizures. I, too have experienced similar things, but for me they are part of the aura before a CP seizure. One time, I remember seeing my arm being unattached, sort of floating in mid-air, then I was out. Several other times before a TC seizure, my world suddenly goes in slow motion, like in the movies, the noise around me becomes so loud to the point my head feels like it is going to explode..... then I'm out. Other times as part of the aura (or simple partial), I would actually hear (or think I would hear) someone speaking to me, but when I would turn, no one would be there. That would be the last thing I would remember....

I see hyperbolic tessellations of the thing I am looking at when i wake up, in the morning.
It's not listed and i am not sure if it counts but it goes on , on a daily basis for about 5 minutes, they get gradually smaller until i can no longer see them anymore then everything looks normal.
I will leave it up to whomever is curious to google image search "hyperbolic tessellation" if you require a visual example. I still see everything I am looking at but whatever I am focused on that thing seems to make up the basic shape of the 'pixels' that are tiled making up everything else I see.
I don't pick up radio stations that i know of but there is no silence in my mind ever. it races constantly and I can not keep it from doing so i have learned to construct chains of reasoning that run in short cycles so that i can efficiently return to the thing I need to be thinking about. Sometimes the noise is clear enough that i can make sense of it at these times I can comprehend that it's the structure of the associative networks that make up more complex thoughts like "it's time to get a glass of water" or "this is the set of calculations which you will need to perform to walk across the room and turn on the furnace", other times it just sounds like a crowd.
I only see pictures when i blink also...and I sometimes believe I can predict the future...but I prefer not to talk about that because I fear it makes me sound insane. When it happens however I can physically sense a sort of tangible structure to how the events are connected and must therefore play out.
also sometimes my brain prints out very detailed diagrams for various things; Furniture, sculptures, paintings, and other things. they are not like ideas one has they are complete plans with detailed directions which are seared into my brain making it impossible to forget them and the plans are feasible so I know it's not some sort of madness.
and it goes on.
I am not sure how productive it is to discuss this stuff I'm a pragmatist but they are valid experiences and I don't know what it means. maybe it means nothing but I don't know other people who deal with any of it. I've known mystics of various types without ever being one myself. What I believe is that you can not name the Horizon in anyway that evokes what it is that is to say that i don't need for these experiences to have a rational explanation or a mystical one to know that they are valid in the sense that I actualy experienced and experience them.
CINT, have you experienced or do you experience white light (pin point holes, orbs?)in your vision. IF yes, do they move? or do they just stay in field of vision momentarily?
My psychic "knowing" almost always turns out later to be true.
I think why she was asking is because pin point holes and orbs that move, if they are constantly there, are symptoms of retina detachment
hey maryltyme, sorry the orbs or smells are back.
I go through about everything on the list except bending spoons.
I also pick up on police radars from far away didn't know if anyone else did.
Typically people with epilepsy, especially with the intuitive abilities were
always shamans or healers in Hopi culture both my parents are hopi but i did not grow up on the rez., not sure about the other native american tribes.
maryltyme,
Growing up this scared me and also drove me crazy till I learned how to control and get out of dreams and wake up. It's really just about focusing your body to move and you can wake yourself up from there, move one arm first, that's normally pretty easy to do, and move your body awake that way.
If things are getting crazy in your dream world and you need to get out, get out.
*I still experience sleep apnea (sleep paralases & I occassionaly stop breathing) but I'm usually not dreaming. I am fully aware of everything around me, sounds, smell, light, people, everything. I just can't wake up until (like you said) wiggle a finger, toe etc..
Now about your dream,
White is always purity or pure.
I copied the next piece about owls from Dreammoods.com I really liked their definition about owl:
"To see an owl in your dream symbolizes wisdom, insight, magic, expanded awareness and virtue. You are highly connected to your intuitive senses and psychic power"
*I dont see it, I don't think it posted? I will go to dreammoods.com and see if I can find it. Thank you! : )
My mother told me not to dream, as a child I would dream of danger or death about other family members, some I knew and some I didn't, and they always came true, sometimes played out a little different, but still it happened just the same.
I hope everything makes a bit more since or you can deduct a bit more about it all.
Please keep me posted,
reid
