It brings me so much relief to see that there are other people who went through the same thing I did. I never thought to look it up until now.
My experience is basically same with the replies above. It always when I was lying in bed, about to sleep. But somehow things seem to draw away from me. The roof appears to be if I were standing 3 meters away. Sometimes I enjoyed it, but there were times when it felt scarry, during which times I just tried to fall asleep and everything was fine again the next morning.
It hasn't happened to me since adulthood.
Does anyone has any answer as to what that is exactly?
This occured again last night while reading a book- I had been reading for 1.5 hours. It is distracting but it quickly subsides.
I am a 37 year old male. I have lately been under a great deal of stress. It is fascinating to read that others have similar symptoms.
My 8 year old son experiences this. He says that people people up close seem really far awAy- especially their heads. He also said that he could blink and people would get smaller and smaller until he could not see them anymore. He would keep blinking and they would steadily get bigger. The Intermet was a huge help as this introduced me to Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. I hope it will eVentually just go away as I have read it has for others. I just feel it is important to share these stories as they are unique and I hope we can share ways to manage it.
it seems to be due to fever.
whether mild or severe
i had it happen to me all the time and never looked on internet until now it happend when i was a child and had fevers still happens now when i have fevers i had it once for 2 week non stop where everthingi looked at was really far away or hard to focus o i found playing cometer would help a litttle and now it just happens every other day when i try to go sleep but i control it bye opening my eyes and closing them again
