Da bambino, ho avuto un periodo in cui - alcune notti - facevo dei sogni difficilmente descrivibili a parole e sperimentavo sensazioni stranissime...

Gli spazi intorno a me si distorcevano, si ingrandivano, rimpicciolivano...
Quando "toccavo" qualcosa, il senso del tatto sembrava fosse limitato ad un sottilissimo filo posto al centro delle dita... Non percepivo altro, dagli oggetti.

Il tutto accompagnato da un crescente senso di ansia, pur non essendoci mostri, cattivi o altro...

July 4th Alice in Wonderland Day

For those who are familiar with Migraine and headache matters you might know that one but if you don’t . Today we celebrate Alice in Wonderland Day. It’s thought that author Lewis Carroll lived with migraine, among other neurological illness and that he wove some of his experiences in to his books about the world through the looking glass.

See below a short video about Alice in Wonderland and other aspects of migraine.

#AliceInWonderland #Syndrome (#AIWS ) affects the way people perceive the world around them and can distort how they experience their own bodies and the space it occupies. These can include distortions in vision as well as time.
- 40 types of #VisualDistortions characteristic of #AliceInWonderland Syndrome. Some patients also describe seeing different body parts added to the people in front of them, such as a shortened arm attached to the face of the person sitting in front of them.

Other symptoms include seeing people or objects moving in slow motion or moving unnaturally fast or not at all.
– sufferers can hear loved ones speaking oddly slow or unnaturally fast.

Some report seeing objects or their own body parts shrinking or swelling in front of their eyes, creating the sensation that they are themselves #ChangingSize.

#Micropsia #Macropsia

It is this last symptom that led to the disorder's name, after #LewisCarroll's fictional character, who shrinks after drinking a potion and then grows after eating cake.
