Vestibular-Motor Hallucinations
Vestibular-motor hallucinations may include feelings of flying or other out-of-body experiences, such as floating. This type of hallucination usually occurs on its own, not along with intruder or chest pressure hallucinations.
These sensations are often thought of as erotic and blissful. Individuals may confuse vestibular-motor hallucinations with lucid dreaming, which is different, although possibly linked. An estimated 75 percent of sleep paralysis episodes involve hallucinations that are distinct from typical dreams. As with atonia, these can occur when falling asleep or waking up.
