I don't have any firearms at my home, but, if I do get broken into, I kind of feel like I should do my best to sound as batshit as possible.
AstronautChicken
I just thought it was sleep paralysis. When i get too stressed i hear loud noises when i try to sleep. One time i was trying to nap on the
AstronautChicken
Couch and suddenly it was like a 747 was taking off on my living room. Scared me so bad i rolled off the couch and reacted like a caveman.
super4ac
Same here! Never consciously thought about it until now but I've definitely had it semi-regularly and assumed it was part of sleep paralysis
daveisamonster
And here I thought it was a glitch in the matrix

WHAT THE HELL I had that shit as a kid, always affected my dreams, didn't fuckin talk about it, one day I overcame it in a dream and - gone.

Please sir, I want some more.

Fucking hell, i almost spat my tea. Good read +1

fuck me! for years I had explosions in my head before sleeping but I ever supposed that was my no sense life (drug alcool 24/7 shifts).
Edreyya
I have a similar issue.I listen music that doesn't exist but I can listen it clearly on my mind.Sometimes I heard voices too. Always at nigh
readheadbun
I get this too. I think they are actually aural haluncinations.
Edreyya
I have aural trips (is this the word?) When I'm on anxiety. It's kinda scary
Primotimewaster
I get this with my tinnitus. Constant ringing & buzzing in my ears but music & soft voices added when I try to sleep.
Edreyya
Tinnitus +1 ..... my ears are allways buzzzing
N8DGAF
I had no idea that was what it was called. I always feel like I'm being awaken by sudden loud sounds
devinbrizendine360
I have this very frequently. It's an error when your brain turns off every auditory sensor at once instead of in a series.
tenthousandpencils
oh so THATS what it is. I vividly remember waking up, thinking WW3 had started with all the explosions going on. just EHS messing around.
KatehasaBlog
I have never heard of this, especially surprised other people in the comments have it too. My mind is blown.... pardon the expression
pancreas
I decided to google it. As I was typing it in, the top recommendation/autofill thing from google was "exploding kittens." alrighty then.
LuckyEight
Exploding Kittens is a card game by he Oatmeal. Really fun, do recommend.

roger that

Hang on I think I have this... does anyone have video?
hazelismycatdog
Please note my interest
PrincessNakedMoleRat
I have something like that, but instead I hear someone say my name.
HomosexualNecrophiliacMallard
I always can focus on one of my sisters say my name. Exactly in her voice. I don't know if it's just memories, but it's weird and cool to me
NuggetsForKitty
I always thought it was just me and it's always freaked me the hell out. Like deamons in my room...
ameriki
I've experienced that. Scared me.
Loser37
Same! I just assumed it was ghosts
Sataina
Sometimes I hear my name being whispered in my ear but no one is there.
pancreas
Zone-tan is watching you fap.
HarbourMistress
I've had that too, but it's usually the voice of someone I know.
PrincessNakedMoleRat
It just happened yesterday in my husband's voice. He was not home.
FemmeFataleSTL
I've had this a couple of times too. Sounds like a bomb going off, feels like electricity running through the head. Very startling.
rezpawner
*carefully puts away the firecrackers* uh, yeah... startling.
pancreas
How fast is the electricity thing? I sometimes get something like that, but no audio. I wonder if it's a mild form or just not related.
[deleted]

FemmeFataleSTL
Interesting! Mine is nothing like that. It's incredibly loud and fast. Like an explosion or bomb.
FemmeFataleSTL
It feels like a jolt- almost like a quick sizzle. I would compare it to the feeling you get when you have discontinuation syndrome of 1/
FemmeFataleSTL
Effexor, if anyone is familiar with that. It is miserable. 2/2
beerlady
Strange, odd, interesting, but not the creerpiest
AdventuringSorcerer
Sounds like they could be good for a laugh
MaddPainting
Yeah its a good laugh when your awake talking to others, but when your seconds from falling asleep, its a good jolt of WTF.
Terminal56
For me its always a scream that sounds like it will busy my eardrums, flashing lights then I wake up with bad anxiety and increased 1/2

Heart rate . It honestly leaves me a bit shaken for weeks after 2/2

MaltesersAreTheBest
I never knew there was a name for this. I have a half dozen or so episodes of EHS a year for my entire adult life. The more you know.
trina1978
I had this really bad a couple of years ago but not for a while now. I wonder what causes it and if you can get it to stop?
snaek
Excessive mental stress is known to be a contributor, so if you're overly stressed I'd suggest toning it down somehow.
trina1978
Yeah I was really stressed out then. Migraines every day, sometimes two a day. I've calmed down a bit now.
Sockpuppetmastermind
Mine are very occasional. Sound like explosions. I am usually falling asleep and they cause me to sit up with a fright
EveryonesCousin
I'm actually awake right now because of one. TIL
goste
Yep. I googled it, a few years ago. Only happens when I am exhausted, and just resets my sleep... ffs
DoctorOwly
Aye, I have narcolepsy and get EHS occasionally. Happens a lot with sleep paralysis
GnashVillain
Me too, wtf, I've never told anyone cause I thought I was crazy
rotenkid
It very seldomly happens to me. I always chalked it up as a dream. Nothing scary really, kinda like when you almost fall asleep and you 1/2
rotenkid
Get that falling feeling. It jars ya awake for a minute, readjust and fall back asleep 2/2
ZachsAnomaiy
I too have this, as does my sister.
rollwithmykittyandimhardasfuck
Same with me. Neurologist and I are gonna have a little talk
katfreecs
It happened to me TONS as an adolescent. Now I'm 23 and I only experience it a few times a year. >>
katfreecs
<< There's a great stuff you should know podcast episode about it! That's how I found out about it.
alpacinointhedevilsadvocate
Sounds like acid
xminacakex
I used to get this a lot but not for a few years now. I think it was the meds I was on but it drove me mad!
tenaciouskk
Dude. It fucking sucks. I experience it about once every 2 months, feels like the world is exploding.
Honorarybanana
Lots of info- http://www.stuffyoushouldknow.com/podcasts/what-is-exploding-head-syndrome.htm

I just subscribed to these guys on YouTube
MaltesersAreTheBest
Thanks!
Yellowchinkerbell
I wish you the best of all. :)
GeneralGrievouss
Same! It usually means I'm going to have a night terror too. Just thought they were auditory hallucinations!
Win1forthegifer
Had 1 few yrs ago 4am (1st/only) and I tht an explosion happened nearby & our building was done for. Took a sec to realize it was in my head
breezybriv
Oh man I have sleep paralysis like a mother fucker, I feel your pain. I thought I was nuts until I figured out what it was!
Hiker101
Hmm I've had this, tried to explain it to a friend and looked at me like I was nuts. Mine is like really bad techno music, with no rhythm.
PrivateNoodles
Does it come with surround sound?
boevis
I used to get them at least once a week. Interestingly, they went away completely shortly after I started listening to rainymood.
creatineisasteriod
Had those episodes a lot as a kid and now only every so often as an adult. I thought they were just anxiety attacks
plainwhitesarah
Me, too.
FreebooterFox
I get anxiety attacks, and jesus, those are bad enough, I couldn't imagine how much they'd suck if you had to deal with the noise, too!
BonemanCharles
Was it like a seizure? That's how I would describe mine, it was fucking scary until I knew what it was
MaltesersAreTheBest
More like a really loud SNAP. Like the first crack of a lightning bolt really close. But if you read my other comments, I have other issues.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
I only get it when I start falling asleep during meditation.
MagnoliaStone
Mine sound like tornado sirens and fire alarms. Im afraid one day ill miss a real emergency because of them.
twozerooz
Sounds more like some fucked up version of tinnitus. EHS is always a large explosion/booming sound
MagnoliaStone
Oh, that's relieving. I guess. They're still damn loud, and very accurate.
chiwrangler
Had one yesterday
Azile2012
I had EHS when I was younger. When I tell anyone about it they laugh at the name and gloss over the fact that it's a terrifying experience
Soph1e
Also known as 'episodic cranial sensory shock' if you'd prefer to use that term. It sounds horrific - glad you don't suffer with it now!
Desertmoon37
I always thought I had just misheard something loud and everyone else slept through it. Good to know.
FuckMeFuckYou
Shit. I have this occasionally as well. Always when I'm about to fall asleep or semi-asleep. I just thought it was me dreaming...never 1/2
DirtRockets
Yeah, typically. All cases of EHS I've heard of usually involve people falling asleep. Its prevalence is tricky to track, but I imagine it
DirtRockets
has some relationship with other sensory illusions during sleeping/waking. I get the occasional auditory hallucination of somebody speaking
DirtRockets
when I'm about to fall asleep. Hypnagogic hallucinations. They are *rarely* loud, crashy noises. Maybe once every 2 years.
FuckMeFuckYou
Knew it was a thing. Guess what I'm going to be researching today? 2/2
rollwithmykittyandimhardasfuck
Yup me too. I kinda wanna make sure this is benign before I fuck off to China. I'd really rather know now lolol
MisterRogersinabloodstainedsweater
I tend to get very loud zaps. Like electricity.
Aerolfoz
https://soundcloud.com/virtual-riot/sets/what-i-hear-when-i-wake-up-from-nightmares/s-HEj6j like this? Made by artist with EHS.
jesusaichchrist
Me too. Reminds me of the sound an old crt tv makes when you turn it on or off, but much louder.
ZachsAnomaiy
That's like mine paired with feeling like a zap went through my body and jolting awake before I'm even asleep. Wikipedia mentions this type!
pancreas
I sometimes get kind of a jolt through my head. Almost like a funny-bone feeling, but quicker and less intense. Wonder if it's related
Majestichippo1
Me too.. i always hear screaming right when I'm about to fall asleep. Learned to ignore it.
TopicalSolution
Hypnagogic hallucinations, used to get them alot, sounded like a room full of people talking to me.
WookieWookieWookie
That might just be the people chained in your basement.
OliveYahurtin
...Yeah that's A LOT creepier, actually.
Majestichippo1
Damn it
iwearlittlesocks
I usually hear a static that leads to an electric like jolt. It only happens about once a month though. Usually right as im falling asleep
RealMenHaveVaginas
Fuck that must be scary
twozerooz
Just confusing the first few times when you get up to try and figure out what the massive boom was.... that nobody else heard
creatineisasteriod
It's paralyzing the first couple of times then it's just annoying
MaltesersAreTheBest
Yep
goste
You get used to it
BallsLikeWatermelonsPeckerLikeAThimble
That sounds horrifying.
MuppetMonster84
It is
CaitheRaith
Literally.
AlcoholicsAnonymousBYO
I thought tinnitus was bad but explosions? Jaysus
TheDogIsLooking
That better not be a pun young man
whatismynameagain
It's not so bad, just sometimes when I'm drifting off I'll hear a door slam or something, wake up and wonder if that was real or in my head.
Hamncheezsandwich
Yes, this happens to me too!
Pixlization
It can be. Mine sound like those really short computer-edited sound clips of monsters screaming in horror movies during the jump scare.
stephacat
I have loud noises jerk me awake from a drowsy/half asleep state...sounding what I would similarly describe as that. I'm now concerned lol
Blahblahhh
Jeezus Christ that sounds horrible
MaltesersAreTheBest
Only at first.
waterbucketsandsparetowels
Less horrifying than running out of Maltesers
MaltesersAreTheBest
Hmmmmm. That's a toss up...
usernamepolice
Really? How old were u at first? What was ur first reaction? And how tf did u get used to it??
noluckduck
DOT
MaltesersAreTheBest
Many, many years ago. Now I jerk awake and listen for any other sounds while I grab my glock off of the headboard. Go back to sleep in 5 min
usernamepolice
Aah a glock thats a good idea. I was wondering how ud discern the difference between reality and the explosion. Thats horrifying

ILoveWings
How long did it take for you to get used to it
MaltesersAreTheBest
You don't. You just recognize what it is and move on.
MaddPainting
Only the first few times, after that you get used to it, i get them weekly (I have some sleeping problems that helps brings this out) 1/2
MaddPainting
there are different sounds it can make, but the really loud ones can keep you awake longer time to time.
Quelquefois
I hear other people having full-fledged conversations in my head. Anyone else get this?
ohjohnboy
I hate to be that guy but... Might be beneficial to bring it up to your doc the next time you see them.
Quelquefois
They're aural hallucinations that happen before falling asleep; I've told my friends about it & they had no idea. Figured I'd ask here
Terminal56
This happened to me once my eyes were wide open and I could still here people talking as if I were in a dream.Best guess is sleep paralysis
xminacakex
I get this right before I fall asleep, but I can never make out what is says. Just sounds like I'm in a room full of people
Quelquefois
For me it's USUALLY a guy having mundane water cooler conversations about like— business and science. I know well about neither.
[deleted]

Quelquefois
Nup! It's more like closing your eyes, hearing disjointed incomplete conversations & hearing the end of a sentence while you open eyes
trina1978
Yes. Had them ever since I was a kid. One night I kept a pad & pen next to the bed and wrote a lot of it down. Weird reading the next day.
Quelquefois
I'm going to have to try this
Dontdeprivemeofmydelusion
Share?
trina1978
I did it around 25 years ago so it's a bit vague now. Something about someone riding a bike & something about oranges sticks in my mind 1/2
trina1978
What freaks me is the voices are not always voices I recognise. Maybe I might try it again 2/2
PrudenceWoW
I heard a distinct name one night as I was falling asleep... I googled it and it showed some guy's online obituary from two weeks prior...
pancreas
(2)when I finally looked, there was nobody there. Woke me the fuck up, that's for sure.
pancreas
I heard someone whisper my name one time as I was falling asleep. I thought it was my dad but was in that state of "too half asleep to move"
Quelquefois
That's so creepy but also cool in a way!
thatmountaingirl
Welp. I'm not sleeping now.
PrudenceWoW
It creeped me out but at the same time it wasn't scary and was kinda cool?? Maybe he was reaching out somehow haha
Dontdeprivemeofmydelusion
That 'haha' at the end...
trina1978
I had a spam email once that contained excerpts of loads of emails I had previously sent. I googled the name of the sender and the only 1/2
TheCriticsWereConciseItOnlyTookFourLines
Out of curiosity, have you asked your doctor and she didn't know either, or just quietly wondered to yourself?
tg2222222
I'm a doctor and have never heard of this. Every day is a school day :) Thanks
dawillyofbilly
I wish i could go to a doctor, but i live in the U.S :c
Mandalore4355
Well go to the doctor then
ForReasonsOfScience
Oh look at Mr. Singlepayerhealthcarenation over here
MaddPainting
Yes, (not op but i have them) there is almost nothing they do, you can do some sleep studies to find some causes but its a benign condition
MaltesersAreTheBest
I figured it was related to hypnic jerks and just got on with life. I have more of them. :-) Oh, I also have periodic scintillating scotoma
DocG80
Hypnagogic hallucinations?
MaltesersAreTheBest
No, just slip off to sleep once I silence my mind.
Kaykorvid
Periodic scintillating scotoma - ocular migraines. For those wondering.
PatrickRob82
I've experienced those. They're kinda cool.
BocanDarble
Eyeball headaches?
MaltesersAreTheBest
Google it. Shimmering shapes
PolarChi
It's like looking thru a kaleidescope. & I've never experienced pain. Mine only happen when I wake up in the middle of the night, too.
PolarChi
Shit, I just had one of those last night. Those are the only kinds of migraines I prefer, as the other type make me wanna scoop out my eyes
onecuntwolfpack
I have Scint Scot too. I hate it so much. Happened while I was driving on a freeway, i got real scared real fast.
MaltesersAreTheBest
I just pull over and wait the 2ish minutes for them to pass. They also wreak havoc on my ability to mentally focus
onecuntwolfpack
Mine last about 2 hours and I go completely blind during them. Afterwards I get the worst migraine I've ever had until I can get to sleep.
MaltesersAreTheBest
20-ish
MaltesersAreTheBest
Come to think about it, i haven't had any of these since my craniotomy and aneurysm clipping. Hmmmm...
trina1978
Oh just read this. I have hypnic jerks, i thought they were common. How did you find out you have an aneurism?
ohforf
Hypnic jerks are very common, ~70% of population https://www.nbcnews.com/health/why-do-we-twitch-were-falling-asleep-785736
MaltesersAreTheBest
Long story for later. Short version, didn't feel well due to major stress. Went to hosp, they ran cat & mri and found it. Unrelated

I think you have an interesting story to share.
