Random people in your imagination

[We Are The Witches]

I've had this thing since many years ago, where at certain points I involuntarily (or not strongly willfully, this will pop up in my mind without my conscious efforts) will imagine a list of completely random people I've never seen before, usually in batches, so one right after another, all in different scenarios; like 2-5 seconds of one, then go to the next one.

They're usually perfoming a menial action, and their facial features & gestures will be impressively strong, unlike in simple thoughts. It's as if I could feel every single muscle they're moving, and their gesture that they're about to do completely understood. Again, it's not like a simple thought, it's like if you tried to imagine someone but while on some drug (I don't take drugs).

If it happens, it will usually be when I'm very tired in bed but not asleep, and they just keep coming. Like an AI video of random people you have never met or don't even resemble anyone you know, doing simple things. Like an example would be someone looking at something while chewing gum, or doing a random gesture of tiredeness, confusion, happiness, relief, boredom, doing some day to day activity, etc.

Have you experienced something like this?

Thats called day dreaming.

Thats called day dreaming.

As explained it's not entirely like day-dreaming (I'm not repeating myself just to avoid being redundant), and it's also near impossible to describe its increased intensity in comparison to it.

 

[Polyarmory]

I have not experienced this. Sounds pretty cash though

 

[Nicholas Gur]

Visual hallucinations or projections while awake would still be considered a day dream. Random non specific persons being fabricated as visual props is the same way you construct scenes in unconscious dreaming.

it will usually be when I'm very tired in bed but not asleep,

lol. The reason it seems so abstract is because you're experiencing non lucid dream construction while still in a semi conscious state. Your lack of direct authorship makes it seem more profound than it actually is because your ego is being cucked.

How is the ego being "cucked", and why is that the reason of it being more profound?

I've also experienced this while doing exercise for example.

 

[Nicholas Gur]

Your ego is your conscious self perception, Its what directs thought when you're awake. Being awake while your unconscious thought process takes over, you're consciously observing a process in real time that you'd normally only observe through recollection.

No, I barely even think about people doing mundane things when I'm actually around people who are doing those things.

Sounds a little OCD adjacent or something, like your brain is trying to self regulate by fixating on certain mental pathways it finds familiar and easily constructed either in an attempt to self stimulate or self soothe, like I imagine autists do with trains. The fact it happens when you're tired, but not actually going to sleep, seems to lend more credence to that vs. it being some sort of strange hypnagagic hallucination.

You should have a sit down with your brain and tell it to imagine more interesting content.

 

[Laburnum]

Can't say I've ever had that.

If it's largely involuntary is it possible you've been subject to some kind of MK Ultra program in the past and just can't remember?

Do you want me to introduce you guys to my many overpowered Kingdom Hearts self-insert ocs?

If you are tired your brain gets wonky. Sometimes you also see what you want or expect to see. Sometimes I fall into dreams before I actually fall asleep and then snap out of it disoriented. There could be a sleep disorder involved. I also get bad migraines and sometimes I see flashes or light, squiggly lines or have sleep disturbances a day or two before the migraine hits.

You shouldn't watch TV or use the internet right before you go to bed. I know a lot of people are glued to screens right before they sleep . But your brain needs time to wind down. But in the modern world it's become a hard habit to break.

Are any of them half Super Saiyan, half angel, half devil and half fox?

a bunch of FFXIV races, + dojutsu from Naruto, + Eikon Dominant, + Portgas D. Ace and Trafalgar D. Law.

I think that OP's soul forgot to close "remote terminal sessions", or some other metaphysical phenomena where its mind allows to bounce to other bodies or to project around them when the bodily control is at it's weakest.

If you want a non-New Age philosopher faggot explanation; OP has an extraordinary imagination and its brain creates controllable OCs out of the blue when tired.

If you cannot recast Seinfeld with your OCs, you're doing it wrong dude.

I live in a CIA prison. A nigger runs my prison. In prison, the nigger tries to torment me. We can take away his knives by confessing, every day.

Are any of them hedgehog / Pokémon hybrids, and do you see yourself as married to them?

They're called hypnagogic hallucinations, which are visuals or voices experienced as one is trying to fall asleep. There's varying levels to them, such as seeing shapes, kaleidoscope patterns, vivid landscapes, and more. I've experienced what you've described as well.

Sometimes I daydream about kiwis who aren't autistic unemployable weirdos but then I wake up and remember that such a thing cannot exist.

Isn't that where it's a 50/50 shot that what you're seeing might be a literal demon from Hell?

 

[Gog & Magog]

Sometimes while falling asleep I hear my own internal voice speaking as if it were thinking all on it's own. Is that me? Doesn't feel like me. Must be another part of my brain, still awake and talkative as ever, as the conscious me slowly closes shop for the night.
