I experience this frequently. Right on the edge of loosing consciousness, I sometimes hear what reminds me of an old wooden screen-door slamming into a doorframe. If you know the sound it's unmistakable. It is preceeded by a woosh, like when your blood-pressure suddenly increases.
It usually jolts me awake for a brief moment. I rarely see flashes of light but it sometimes happens.
- duncan-donuts 7y agoOh man a wooden screen-door spamming shut is a good descriptor. When this happens to me I’d say the sound is similar to that, but there’s like a large cracking sound as well.
- flir 7y agoI've got the door slamming version. It was most common first year of uni, when I was convinced it was the wardrobe door next to the bed. Still get it once or twice a year even now. No lights though. Because it happens at the same time in the sleep cycle, it really feels like the auditory equivalent of a hypnic jerk. Reading the thread, it sounds like there are two rough categories: "door slam" and "guitar feedback". I wonder if they're two different phenomena.
