A member asked:
Are these normal experiences to have for sleep paralysis, or do i have some sort of schizophrenia maybe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: I'm assuming you are referring to hallucination experiences. There are normal experiences we can have called hypnagogic hallucinations.They happen in the transition state to and from sleep.The sounds can vary in intensity.People may imagine their name being called or the doorbell ringing. With schizophrenia the hallucinations occur at any time during the day and the age of onset is usually 19-25.
