Thread: HH shocked me awake?

I was in SP, trying to take a lucid nap, and got to HI/HH, when it sounded like somebody yelled in my ear really loudly. I shot awake and couldn't get back down to where I was.

Is there a way to know when I'll start hearing things so I don't get shocked awake again? Is there some sensation I should be looking for?

I don't have ear plugs, so I can't hear the switch from external to internal hearing. Should I get some? Would that help?

This happens to me sometimes. If you are hearing other HH before the loud noise, you could try to guide the buzzing, voices, or other sounds into peaceful piano music. It's actually pretty easy - just command it inside your head, and once the music starts you're more unlikely to get random, jolting HH.

I'll try that. I hope it works for me

Good luck! I usually am telling myself a story in my mind as I slip into HH and it keeps all the sounds pretty well under control. Seems very close to the piano thing also.
