When you nod out, do you ever feel like you go someplace different?

I don't really know how to describe it, but when I nod out I start to sort of "mini dream" (my completely unscientific attempt at an explanation) where I'm essentially fully conscious and aware of my own body, personal space, and situation (sitting or lying down, hearing the music from my computer, legs crossed, etc.) yet for some reason I feel like I'm somewhere else, not at my house, or people who aren't at my house are sometimes in my house. Sometimes I go like, "Oh shit I'm in class, I gotta wake up before the professor notices." Or whatever.

As I was writing this question I nodded out and hallucinated that a buddy of mine was sitting on the edge of my desk. Haha. Another good example is if I'm typing on a forum like this, I'll think I typed up a long paragraph, then when I snap back to, I realize I didn't write anything, and the forum topic is something completely different.

It's super weird, because it's definitely not sleeping or dreaming. It's kind of like... I dunno, maybe what I imagine being hypnotized to feel like. It's kinda cool, I actually really enjoy it.

Is that pretty much normal for most people?
 
When I nod out its like I can go anywhere in my brain I desire without any bad thoughts coming my way. I don't feel fear I don't feel anger i dont feel pain I don't feel anything at all so I suppose you can say I go somewhere else during that time. But its the best feeling I tell you. Until you have to go again and get back to that spot again cause you use all your energy trying to get to that place you love so much you go crazy trying to get to that place all the time is what I hated.
 
Haha. Yes. I dont know if you're talking about the same thing that I am but I was just thinking along.these lines. My personal way of describing it to myself or the many other counselors I've seen are that I.am hanging on the edge of consciousness and absolutely love being there. Its like I start to read one of these threads knowing.that im goin to fall asleep, or nod off, yet I love attempting to anyway. Also like you said sometimes I sort of dream I am somewhere else and in a totally different situation and I wake up from the.nod and am still talking to someone about what we were doing.to.realize there is no one there. Also it will take me.like an hour to read or write a.tiny post and I keep trying knowing I'm going to fail. Haha. Sorry if this doesn't make much sense or whatever as ive been doing.this all night tonight too having a blast. Speaking of which, I was able to read and write this too fast which means its definitely time to load back up and get back to edge of consciousness... I swear the place im talking about feels like im on the edge of passing on to the afterlife or wherever. If thats how its going to feel when I.pass on I suppose I kind of welcome.it.... not.that I want to die but I just always wanna be on that edge of consciousness. Guess ill try to coin that phrase or something. Haha. But im sure im not the only person talking about that place, swim has only.been spiking up H for 6 months or so yet feel like an old pro :-)
 
The nod is a blissful state... I've often thought that if that was a way of slipping off into...the afterlife, in my ripe old age... bring it on.

Look up "waking dreams"- it's an effect specific to opiates that renders the user somewhat unable to decipher between reality/fantasy for short periods of time- and can be very powerful when a high dose of opiates is ingested- makes me think it may be somewhere along the lines of what you are experiencing.

My experience with it was when i would be going to sleep high, that kind of inter-phase between being awake and asleep, that semi-conscious "letting go" point you reach, would be dragged out very slowly and it felt as if i was just dipping my toes into the realm of dreams/unconsciousness, and ever so slightly, I would continue to immerse my body into it until i was completely submerged in my own mind.

The thing was, that process was one of a child's first experience with water, complete with all the feelings of reluctance, excitement, fear yet somehow euphoric anticipation simultaneously, and was incredibly slow (at the time almost eternal-like)- relative to simply "diving in"- I was completely aware of my gradual "submersion" and entirely aware of my fading grip on reality.

It was at first a somewhat frightful experience since i was on quite a high dose for my tolerance at the time, so i thought that when i truly fell into sleep it may instead just be an OD and i was not going to sleep but going unconscious, however, i did quickly realize that i was indeed just tired and that was just me going to sleep with the difference simply being the opiates psychoactive effects, so the fear did not last very long, instead i grew increasingly encompassed by the incredible experience and it became one of the truly most amazing experiences I've ever had on drugs (in fact i would call it the most amazing experience i've ever had on drugs).

^^^^Definitely advise to be absolutely sure you are in the safe realm dosage wise when going to sleep as to not mistake these "waking-dreams" for a possible OD- and also to remember that just because this happened to me does not mean it will happen to you- drugs are entirely subjective...
 
lol...and here I always that was whole point of the nod, to go some place else.

It is a peaceful blissful state for sure. The only part of H I miss actually.
 
Fuck yea I totally get this; I relate with your description fully. When I'm on a really good dose and go to lay down on my bed, I enter one of the most hypnotic, vivid dreamlike states that one could only wish for regarding dreaming.

This is my favorite state to be in with opioids; it's my idea of what my heroin high should be like.

Also, when I'm laying on my back, I've noticed that I get much more vivid than if I were in any other sleeping position.
 
I hit a point when I am nodding where I will go into a dream like state, and I will imagine that I am somewhere else entirely. It is a really weird sensation and when I hit the sweet spot where it happens it tends to happen over and over again.

Basically I get to a state where I dream that I am somewhere else, it is usually not anywhere interesting but a friends house or a workplace, someplace familiar usually, oftentimes I will be having a conversation with someone I know or something, I always snap out of it really suddenly and for a few seconds it is always confusing and sometimes even slightly scary until I figure out oh it's fine, I am just nodding my arse off. Then the same thing will happen over and over until the high wears off, or more likely I eventually nod out and fall asleep until the next day.

I find this can be a really difficult place to get to, as I need to take a pretty high dose, but at the same time it can be easy to overshoot it a little and sleep through the high, which sucks fucking balls. I really love this feeling though, I always have the most blissful euphoric body high to go along with it.
 
My first heroin dealer (rip) called this place "dream land" (when he would use a large amount of heroin/opiate). He said, "everything is bigger, and better." "like earlier today I was flying to your house and I don't even know where you live but I know where in dream land. and I was spying on you"
 
I like that state too..Sometimes ill be having a conversation in that dream and come out of it saying something to the person who is actually there which makes no sense at all. Even to me if they repeat itit makes no sense.

Ah well Morpheus is the god of dreams
 
When I nod out i just drift in and out of awareness but I never feel like I'm somewhere else. Although on DXM I feel like I'm travelling to different places when I close my eyes.
 
cant remember much from the 1 h experience, but when i iv morphine, i feel like im getting taken over by a warm darkness, when i manage to keep stay aware of my surroundings i have wierd psychedelic type thoughts. now with dilaudid (wayy stronger) if i manage not to black out, my mind feels full of bright tingly light and i have crazy psych effects like my ears are massaged by sounds. both are pleasureful , but it's about staying aware really.
 
Yep, waking dream is definitely how I would describe it. I nod from raw opium, in the form of poppy tea, at relatively low doses (I use it for chronic pain). So I don't chase the nod specifically, but 8-12 hours after dosing, I will lie down and gently ease into sleep - this is when the beautiful experience of the waking dream occurs, and it can often feel like I'm somewhere else. Just like a dream really, except I bounce back and forth between waking and dreaming until I fall asleep.
 
Yea, I go hang out with Jesus and God and Buddha and all them cats when I'm noddin'.
