DISQUS

Marg K · 1 year ago

It can be "an aura" related to mild epilepsy. My daughter used to have profound moments of de ja vue (a sense of having been, seen or experienced something in the past) - where she saw something she "recognized" but new it was a false memory. She then developed epilepsy and we discovered the de ja vue was caused by the electrical stimulation of the area of the brain related to time - present, past, future. Epilepsy is erratic electrical stimulation or over stimulation in the brain caused by a neural malfunction. My daughters aura became a warning for her. As her epilepsy developed she would black out after the "aura" of de ja vue.

Smelling bacon or other aromas can be caused by a false electrical stimulation of the olfactory nerve.

I hope your false aromas are not fore warning you of epilepsy.

I'm afraid of something like this ALL THE TIME!
(My variation is that I'm afraid that I'm actually in a mental hospital, imagining all of this o_o)

I often imagine that sounds that I hear that other people don't hear as of the same effect...

When I was a kid, every time I would sit on the toilet I would fear I was actually daydreaming in school, just peeing on my chair with everyone laughing at me :(

I still have that feeling and I am 27

this is quite possibly the best paranoia I've ever heard. I'm also partial to it, though, so perhaps I'm biased.

The same thing happens to me, only it's always the aroma of dust at a baseball field... strange. I wish mine was cake or apple pastries or something.

I guess I never really linked the two things together, but it makes sense. Maybe we all exist in some "coma-land"... wouldn't that be creepy? Everyone who dies in our world is either waking up or being taken off of life-support in the real world.

Cue Twilight Zone music...

wow that is intresting

Jenny · 1 year ago

That happens to me all the time and my husband thinks I'm a freak for it.

john · 1 year ago

Don't worry Jenny,...... if it's true and you ARE in a coma, then your husband is just a figment of your comatose mind...... :) see... problem solved.

Now this is something worth being in a coma over.

Emily · 1 year ago

A deja-vu is a glitch in the matrix, don't you know anything?

chris · 1 year ago

wow, if that were true, i would be in your head.

well, i guess that's just about as possible as anything else.

G · 1 year ago

dunno.. I only think like that when my life becomes routine..

john · 1 year ago

G..... what do you do to keep your life from becoming routine?

Tamara · 1 year ago

That happened to me the other day, driving --- I can't think of what the smell was now, but it was something completely out of the blue, like banana pudding or peach cobbler. The best part was how distinctive and rich the scent was; I was able to hold on to it for several minutes. Then, of course, I thought I had a brain tumor or something. Ha ha.

i think the odds that we are living in a sub-reality, or super-reality, whatever you want to call it, are something like 99.9%.

how's that for a mindfuck!

john · 1 year ago

hmmm.... very interesting..... and the even more neurotic thing about that is that there is NO proof that you aren't in a coma with a bacon-wielding doctor. Of course that would make ME part of your neurotic dream, which begs the question.... what is reality?
I say enjoy that smell of bacon! And if you are in a coma, I hope the family is taking good care of you.

The mind...or perception is such a powerful thing.

MX · 1 year ago

I have that too!! Its really weird, almost like something just goes off and I smell something strange and familiar. Glad I'm not the only one.

Johan · 1 year ago

what about when you smell donkey poo? They wouldn't very realistically cart that into a hospital room.

alexandre · 1 year ago

lol, that's pretty paranoic

my own body makes me claustrophobic........like its too full of stuff and it cant get out....like the way an egg is full to the brim...unless it is smashed and the insides spill out.....then i feel relieved that there is a relief but then i dont feel relieved because i have to smash my body to be happy

Well obviously you are not in a coma. Otherwise you would not be able to make posts on the internet about it.

Mmm · 1 year ago

Whenever I am looking at the ceiling I wait for it open up and my real eyes open to find myself lying in a hospital from a coma. I used to worry that my whole life has been a dream that I've had whilst in a coma.
