Does anyone else ever have this?

[Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly]

Does anyone else ever have the weird feeling I'm about to describe as I've just told my partner and I think he thinks I'm losing the plot.
So I'll be lying in bed, just reading or whatever, and all of a sudden everything looks bigger than it actually it and further away than it actually is. It only happens at night and comes along with a really strange physical sensation that I don't know how to describe? Like it almost feels like I can't move, but actually I can, it's really bizarre, but good old Dr Google doesn't throw up any answers.

I get something similar to this - I feel like my hands are way too big for my body. And like previous posters, it's not an unpleasant feeling. Quite relaxing actually!

I had this a lot as a child, not so much as an adult. I quite liked it too when it happened. I sit/lie there in wonder, thinking how and why it happened.

I miss it, it doesn't happen at all often now.

Yes I get this, it doesn't last long and it makes me feel weird, I've no idea what causes it though. Sometimes it feels like my teeth or my tongue is suddenly giant and completely out of proportion to the rest of me, it's quite unsettling!

Alice in Wonderland syndrome. I used to get a version of this as a child, but it would be feeling rather than seeing.

So for instance my arm would feel really massive and if I touched it with my finger my finger would feel really small and as thin as a pin. Hard to describe.

It only happened when i was ill, I assume it was a fever that caused it?

Sounds like I used to have whenever waking from night terrors. It was like things were exaggerated and extra 3D, even down to the creases in the duvet cover, patterns on wallpaper, carpet fibres.

I get this with my limbs as well as a feeling of being immersed. Also with it comes one of those “tip of my tongue” sensations where I know totally instinctively what it is but can’t place it. There’s a sensation of deep pressure that reminds me massively of having contractions. I’ve had it since I was little - especially when I feel really safe - and I’m convinced it’s womb memory or being born.

Yes it's Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. Common in children and doesn't mean you have a neurological problem. I had it a lot as a child and found it scary. I also sleepwalked and sleep talked and had a very vivid imagination. I don't get it any more as an adult but I do still have very vivid dreams.

Same as a lot of the pp. Alice in Wonderland syndrome.

It's common for people who have migraines (🙋🏻‍♀️), but not always. I've only had it once or twice as an adult, but frequently as a child. So, so bizarre, but weird and a bit wonderful at the same time! 😆

I get something similar to this but it's my limbs. They suddenly feel huge and really heavy but also light at the same time. It's always when I'm lying still ( so usually at night).

So weird. I've never told anyone!

As a kid, especially if unwell, I'd get weird lucid dreams that things were "too big" or "too impossible" to fit, for example I'd have to run a million miles in a minute, or fit 10,000 houses in a matchbox. Or fit too many crisps in a bag.
I can still conjure up that feeling and it's peculiar.

Not quite Alice in Wonderland Syndrome but close!

Oh gosh, I get exactly this! Lying in bed and my limbs feel so heavy I can't move, yet simultaneously light. I try to lift myself off the bed but can't....

I've never mentioned it to anyone either!

I have often wondered whether our brains can remember how things looked and seemed when we were babies. Everything looked and sounded larger because we were so much smaller. Perhaps that's what Lewis Carroll was really writing about and transposing those feelings and memories onto Alice.
