My mind is doing that thing…

Where it drops down a level. And all I can see is colors in my head, kind of swirling around, floating, not making a whole lot of sense, and images fly through, and they’re kind of broken and random and have no sense of anything that has meaning to it. My mind is going underwater, and the water is red and black streaks.

And then it’s quite easy to slide into hypnagogia and listen to various semi-elaborate plots play out in front of me, people I’ve never met talking to each other about things. It’s weird when that happens, because I often know something about them. Like in my hypnagogic hallucination a teenage girl will slam the door and leave her parents’ home and I’ll know that she is pregnant and her mother doesn’t want her to keep the baby and they are fighting about it. Even if the actual words they use as they go storming around the house (that I can’t see, I just know where they are and what they’re doing) stomping and slamming doors and yelling at each other.

But right now I have a mild migraine and a tendency for my brain to just slide underwater into that world where everything swirls together and nothing makes much sense, and words don’t exist, and hypnagogia just swirls right in and makes it all weirder. (I just got a picture of a guy’s leg, with a plastic bag full of trash tied to it, and an impression that this had something to do with fashion sense.

And I’m so very tired.
