    Last night when i closed my eyes to sleep i kept getting very vivid images of porn in rapid fire succession. It was crazy, i wasnt thinking of porn or pmo it was totally involuntary. It was like i was watching a video but scene after scene went buy very fast, like i imagine a cia brainwashing video would be lol. It lasted about 5 minutes. A little scary. Anyone ever experience this?

    I haven't, but they sound like visual hypnagogic hallucinations. They often involve moving shapes, colours, and images.

    For example, a hypnagogic hallucination might be similar to looking into a kaleidoscope. Visual images might also include animals, people, faces, and lifelike scenes. These hallucinations aren't a symptom of mental illness. Experts don't know exactly what causes them, but they know they aren't a cause for concern. :) They are simply something that your brain might do during the process of falling asleep. As a PMO addict, it seems that the theme of these were vivid porn images.
