This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It’s not unusual to have brief hallucinations right before falling asleep. It’s happened to me on occasion. That’s another possible explanation.
What sounds like a scream could also be an episode of "exploding head syndrome" (the most hilariously dramatically named relatively mundane sleep phenomenon)
I've experienced it a handful of times in my life and it is very startling! Especially the 2 times where it sounded like someone shouting my name from inside my skull. Brains are so weird
Just got one the other night, first time in ages. Sounds exactly like a shotgun going off.
what? I've never heard of that can someone put a study or something please? (btw ik this sounds rude but I'm actually curious)
