A member asked:
Experienced rhythmic whooshing sounds during sleep, unsure how long it continued, seemed for long time before able to fully awaken and it stopped. could this have been hypnogogic hallucinations and could brain damage occurred since left unchecked.?

I don't think you have to worry about that causing brain damage, but if you want to have the symptom investigated, I recommend consulting a neurootolaryngologist at a department of otolaryngology at a university hospital near you. Appropriate testing will be done depending upon the assessment by the specialist.
