Did anyone have hallucinations in early childoohd?

There is.

And I thought they may have been seizures, too, but if they were...nobody noticed them.

I was tested for epiliepsy at around 9 because they thought I might be having them in my sleep, but the hallucinations had long since stopped. I just had a lot of odd/obsessive behavior.

But I guess it was all inconclusive.

I'm not sure if this was an hallucination but something strange happened when I was around 8 or 9 years old... all I remember is that I fell asleep in my bedroom and woke up at my living room, and meanwhile I was walking around the house and everything I saw was black and white.

That was the weirdest thing that ever happened.

I don´t know bout real hallucinations, except one time when I was I guess about 5 years old I saw a real witch floating behind my grandmas window and checking me out before vanishing, but mostly what I had would be classified as closed-eye-visuals.

I always saw colours and shapes on walls and sky etc. When I got bored I would close my eyes and with concentration I could bring up the most beautifulcoloured and -shaped patterns. (Well, actually I still can´t see darkness when I close my eyes but it´s this sea of everchanging and moving colours and shapes.) One thing I remember extremely well is this peculiar image I saw very often. It was like a slice of a pineapple, with black hole in the middle and it was the brightest shining yellow with glowing purple and green on the sides. I would just keep on looking at that beautiful thing until some adult would notice and say: "Hey! Wake up kid! What´s wrong with u?" I can still kind of see it (only barely) if I really concentrate but as a kid most of the times when I just closed my eyes it would be there without putting any effort in. (Basically what I saw is this with a bit more psychedelic tone: http://www.flickr.com/photos/close2far/ ... /lightbox/) Never really knew what that pineapple thing was about but it surely was cool as ****.

I also used to have auditory hallucinations as a kid. When I was trying to fall asleep I heard like a parts of conversations, random words, sometimes sentences, by random ppl. I might here someone like my mom saying something to someone, then quiet. After a while I would hear another thing that had nothing to do with what I heard before. But I always knew it was coming from inside my head.

Same...but it was people talking that I didn't know, and it was actually really specific. Looking back, it was probably people from the 19th century, I heard people riding in a horse and carriage and talking about things i had no knowledge of.

I also had them during the day though. and saw all kinds of things.

I would often open the door to the basement at my grandparents' house and start a hallucination that I had more than once, a recurring one I guess.

BUT it all stopped around 5 or 6, fortunately.

The more I think about it, the more i realize that it probably was epilepsy of some sort, but it's no longer an issue.

I didn't have hallucinations, but I remember the world being very vivid and intense. Just being alive and taking in tons of sensory input was intense for me and often exhausting. I'd get frightened easily by odd things too, like shadows made on the walls as cars drove by my house at night.

I had olfactory hallucinations too.

I don't believe I ever have.

I only had hallucinations once when my insomnia got really bad, all I remember from it was hearing voices that weren't really there and trying to grab a bottle of water just to realise there was none. But everything was very unclear and I guess it was basically just dreaming while I was still awake (I felt asleep soon after the hallucinations, after almost four days of no sleep at all).

I had many delusions. Didn't have any hallucinations.

The only time I hallucinated as a child I had a very high fever. I saw Wonder Woman standing behind the stereo in the living room. It was the cartoon Wonder Woman and I thought it was hilarious. There were a few others that day but WW stands out. I must have been really sick because I remember not being able to walk.
