I wrote this on facebook:

I had this all through my childhood! I never knew what it was. And I never told anyone about it. And I didn't know that it was connected to migraines, but that makes sense since I suffered crippling migraines from toddlerhood until I was 19. Thanks, Internet! (My version of this was: Every once in a while - though not while I had a migraine - time would slow down or speed up to a disconcerting level. It really used to freak me out, but I got good at remaining calm until it passed.)

All of that went really well with the extreme night terrors and sleepwalking (the nightmares actually made me sleepwalk...) that i experienced all through childhood. Wonder if those things were connected too. I had serious electronic doom dreams when I was little. Thought I was going to die on the regular.

Anyway, I am totally dropping this tidbit at cocktail parties from now on. My brain was a wonderland.

the nightmares i had when i was really young didn't even have people in them. it was just a sea of electronic static that was trying to engulf me.

When feverish, I had audio hallucinations where everything would be heard as though through a long cardboard tube. I also heard psychogenic mocking laughter, as though some impish cranial homunculus was leaning back, feet on the control panel, giggling over the video feed.

I don't think there's a name for this disorder.
