Ok to update this thread with some data...

Last night I had one these explosions, first time in over a year. I will try to describe in detail what happened.

It was 11.30pm, I was in bed laying on my left side. Very calm and relaxed. I heard a small aeroplane (light aircraft) fly over the house. Which gave me images of being on the beach (I live near a beach), blue sky and I felt very warm.

Then this explosion happened, from both ears to the centre of my head, sounded like someone put a wasp (buzzing) in my head. The tone raised in pitch slightly and it lasted less than a second. There was a popping feeling in both ears at the end of the sound, like when your ears pop on an aeroplane due to air pressure.

Again after that I felt calm again but even more so than before. Funny thing is I dont remember what I dreamt last night and I usually remember all the dreams I have.

Thats the account of what happened, if others could add to this when they have one of these things then we could collect more info about it.

Thanks,

Very interesting this happends to me sometimes. With me it always happends at night around 10 to 12 when the ringing vibrations start I expierence the same things that you do, but I have a question, Does your vision change at all? With me it seems when this happends my eyes become more aware of the distance between objects I guess I would say. I dont know its hard to describe.

Heh, have the same thing but i thought it was 'just' a light form of epilepsy or something. it always happens while i'm resting. But then again most of the strange things happen to me while i am trying to sleep or playing around with my consciousness. Do you have any involuntary spasms while you are in one of those 'conditions'?

Exploding head syndrome sounds like one of the more cool things to be able to label yourself with btw .

i've had a simular experiance from time to time, but they are not confined to sleep or relaxation settings, however i also occasionally suffer from insomnia and experiance is more intence and frequent at these times.

i'ld describe it a a high-pitched electrical buzz in my ears but it seems to spread through my head and face, like my whole head is vibrating. in a really intence one it feels like my head wants to expolde and implode at the same time, but not with great force, just gently, if that makes sence. there's no pain to accompany it, but i do often feel fuzzy for hours afterward.

i sometimes also have that "falling feeling" at the edge of sleep and although i don't know if the two things are linked they seem to be associated in my mind, which makes me wonder if my brain knows something i don't.

it hasn't had any great impact on my life, i don't really attach any signifigance to it, i kind of treat it like feeling faint if you stand up too quick, kind of weird but instantly forgetable. just sharing the experiance.

i saw oobe mentioned earlier in the thread, and i can see the conjecture, so i just want to say i'm sceptical of it, i've tried it and it didn't work for me, so i don't think my experiance is linked to that.

Except the description isn't accurate at all...
(Well, certainly not in my case.)

um, no pain and doesn't last long, no halucinations. depends on what you class a migrane to be, deffinatly not a migrane as i would class it.

why not try lookin up tinnitus that is most likly to be it!!!
