Alice in wonderland syndrome anyone?

12 Comments

Did anyone have Alice in Wonderland syndrome as a child? I did and thought I was crazy, because it is indeed quite rare. Surroundings grew surreal, I saw things expanding and felt shrinking in my chest, sound perception was the most powerful alteration: I thought that if a feather had fallen I could have heard it landing on the floor... It's very different than a panic attack, although it is scary for a young child. I'd love to hear your stories!

No. 5

    Only two Alice I like and that's a chat show presenter friend of mine and a naturist who features in a naturist magazine.

    I never heard of this until now but I just googled it and I seem to have this symptom quite severely. I have little depth perception and my senses have always been distorted from what other people describe. I have been diagnosed with aspergers and schizoaffective, both which distort perceptions, but a lot of this description is close to what I experience perceptually .

      Remember that this syndrome presents itself mainly at night and a crisis lasts around 15 minutes. It's not permanent.

        My perceptions are more perminatly distorted and somewhat blury. Ive never figured out how to explain it quite right. Someday I will make a video that explains, although a video wouldnt describe everything perfectly. Time seems especially blurry and the boundries of space and time are somewhat vague.

    Google "alice 1988" It's a version of Alice in Wonderland that's closest to the original and very dark. Not many people have heard of it. Best adaptation.

      Couldn't you just read the original instead of something just close to it?

      As someone who likes to give sleeping pills to children you should be an expert on the subject.
