Apocalypse Now!

Hallucination date - October 2016





Approximately two years ago when I was first admitted to this ward, I was in a lot more pain and subsequently I was on a lot more medication. This included regular doses, four times a day of Morphine, Diazepam and Oxycodone. The Morphine especially caused me to have loads of hallucinations and this post details one of them, fortunately i'm not on these meds any more.

Around two am I woke up and called the nurse using the call bell. The Night Duty Nurse and the HCA (Health Care Assistant) came to see what the problem was. They found me very awake with my eyes wide open, scared and very agitated.

I screamed at them HELP, HELP, this was delivered with a torrent of abuse and swearing, which was also common for me at the time. Luckily they did not take too much notice of this as sadly they were used to it from me. The duty nurse asked me “are you in pain?” I shouted “of course not, CERN, CERN, you need to call CERN right now.” They asked me who is CERN and assumed it was one of my friends. HCA asked me “what is the number of CERN?” I answered with a plausible sounding number but not a UK one. I repeated the number several times, which made it sound even more convincing. Add in your own expletives every other word. The nurses left and had a conversation about what to do, they decided not to phone a random foreign number at two in the morning. They returned to my room and told me it was a wrong number. I then shouted “there is going to be an apocalypse, everyone is in danger, it’s going to be the end of the world.” “There is no time to mess about just call them now!” After hearing all that, they left the room to discussed what to do, they sensibly decided to tell me a fib and came back to tell me not to worry as they will call them. Once i heard that I quickly calmed down and fell asleep again.

In the morning I could not remember any of it at all. One of the staff spoke to her partner and asked them who or what was CERN. They were very surprised she did not know and explained what it was.

I was only told about this hallucination last week and I have no recollection of this at all.

It would of been very funny if they actually called them and told them my message.

(CERN, European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Situated there, is the LHC ( Large Hadron Collider) this is the world's largest particle collider, its circular and 27 kilometers. Its deep underground and crosses between Switzerland and France. It accelerates particles to 99.999% of the speed of light. Then smashes them into each other, to create new particles. It's a fascinating project and i strongly advise you to read more.

If you were the nurse what do you think you would do, would you try to call?

    I wouldn't call. I know what CERN is (thanks to you of course).

The Quantum Sausage

Hallucination date - 10th April 2017 It was about 3 in the morning and I’m not sure if I was awake or asleep, but I was in bed talking to the HCA (Healthcare Assistant), as I often did. In fact, I used to talk to him for hours about silly things. This time, I saw a silver sausage-shaped thing floating above my bed. I was scared of it because I thought it was a quantum sausage, and if it touched me I would be sucked into a parallel universe. I was saying to the HCA, “Wheel my bed out of my room please because there’s a quantum sausage in here, and I don’t want it to touch me. Please, please, wheel me out of here!” I knew the bed could be moved in an emergency, which I considered this to be. I could see out of the windows that it was sunny outside and there were gardens with green fields and trees. This is where I wanted to go because I would be safe there - in the confined space of my room the quantum sausage would float into me more easily, whereas outside there was more ...

  My girlfriend and I were working in a bank in switzerland, it should be a very secure place where money could be kept safely but as you will see it is not very secure, luckily we get away with it unscathed. Read on to find out more…  I was working in a bank called ‘The first bank of Switzerland’. We would drive our car down a small driveway, park the car and get out. We would take the key from under a plant pot where we kept it for safekeeping, we would get the key and open the back door. I was a girl and I was with my girlfriend, we went into the bank and we started counting the money we made the day before. All of a sudden, two armed bank robbers came in and said ‘Give me all the money you have there” We pressed a special button under the counter and bulletproof shutters came down very quickly and the police were called automatically. Armed police cars came, you could not tell they were police cars because they were unmarked and the police were wearing normal clothes. They...

Life as a blue octopus

  This is a dream about me being an octopus, my life, and what it is like to be a creature underwater. This is a nice dream.  Please put your comments on the blog. If you don’t, I would like your permission to move them.  Octopus-  I was born a blue octopus, which is very rare. My Mum gave me the name of the blue gladiator,  ‘Spartacus’ which meant I was very strong and powerful. I was abandoned and left to go my own way. I did not like this and promised myself I would never do this to my offspring when I was old enough to meet a mate. I met ‘Trixanella’ and she was also a blue octopus. I loved the way she caught her prey and I fell in love with her straight away. I went and talked to her using the octopus sign language. It was obvious she felt the same way, so we got married and made love quite quickly and she fell pregnant.  She had six little blue children. She promised to look after them and fend off any predators. We both felt the same way about the si...
