Do you hallucinate when having a fever? - General

I do. Always when I have a fever I see celebrities, unicorns and other fucked up shit.

I don't think so. But I remember when I was younger I saw/felt strange things. It was fucking nasty. But it wasn't like hallucinations. More like.. damnit, can't even describe it. Like everything goes from thin to bold and stuff. Annoying sounds I guess.

So basically they seemed extremely vivid, as in more real than usual? Interesting. Although I don't think i've ever had a fever, only fevered dreams of strangeness.

Yeah and I wasn't even sure how long it lasted. I just laid in bed watching the show go on and on, not even sure what was going on. It was weird. I wanna feel it again!

Holy shit. I didn't even realize it until now. I was piloting a mining vessel in the asteroid belt along with a few dozen other ships. We were all in a convoy moving toward some asteroid that had a large amount of iron or something in it. True story. Trippy as fuck.

Happens from time to time, it depends.

No.

Never happened to me.... Well i don't think i've ever been that sick. Lucky me i guess :(

I told the WuTangKlan to get out of the way of my TV once when I was watching HSN.

i dont have halluciantions when i have fever :(

Back when i was yonger i always used to get the same annoying dream/nightmare when i had fever.

never have

One time when I was little I did. I was asleep before I had it. Then I woke up, but I didn't notice, because it seemed like a dream, yet it seemed all too real. There were some, I dunno, creatures or something, I don't really remember what they looked like. All I knew was whatever they were, they wanted to get me, and all I could do was cry and scream in my bed while my father tried to comfort me.

Only had it happen once. Shit was messed up. Don't quite remember what I saw/heared, but it was messed up.

Never. Only when I dream, obviously.

Sometimes, I see moving patterns and shit. Once when I was 9 I had "blood splash in my face" for a split second, but it was a hallucination and scared the crap out of me :v:

No, never.

Nope :(

No : /

I don't get the fever, sound fun though.

I never had a hallucination, so no.

I hallucinate bout hot girls fuckin my dick so good srs

OP is smoking shrooms again

I have these random hallucinations when i'm sick. One time, i was watching tv, then somehow the tv screened some guy scratching his neck for 5 seconds, i don't think it was real, because nothing made sence. [editline]02:12PM[/editline] Few things do make sence nowadays though:buddy:

Obviously this was a hallucination...

If my fever's high then, yes. Minor ones. I usually hear strange sounds as well.

Yeah, but not like seeing stuff dancing around my room, just more like feelings. Really weird feelings. Like feeling sad because I can't move my elf army to the other side of the house :frown:

last time i had a fever i woke up in the middle of the night to take a piss, and when i came out of the bathroom the whole house was upside down. i fucking freaked out hard and started running down the halls making noise and trying to warn everyone. when i heard my brother getting out of his bed i got really guilty because I made the house upside down and i thought he'd get pissed at me so I ran into my room and started flipping every bit of furniture in my room. after i was satisfied i went into my closet and started crawling across the wall so i can be upside down with the rest of room. i had no idea what i was doing but i actually thought the house flipped and it was my fault. eventually i knocked myself out trying to stand on the roof upside down and my mum woke me up an hour later. true story. [editline]10:48PM[/editline] I thought everyone hallucinated when they have a fever. :frog:

No, I did have the urge to crap a lot one time. I took my super awesome dump (It felt like I was shitting out my organs.) walked down the stairs and fainted. Ooh and my mom had the honour to flush the toilet. By her words: "JEZUS CHRIST I CAN SMELL YOUR SHIT DOWN STAIRS!!!".
