So i’m trying to sleep and it’s around 5:20 AM and for whatever reason my head will do these trippy things and i don’t know if i just got a case of exploding head syndrome but whenever i’m half awake and drifting in and out of sleep my head or ears will make these weird fucking sounds or trick me or like make it think i’m hearing shit or going into a different reality or some shit.

my brain kept making dream scenarios and thinking of random shit and one of them was for whatever reason i was thinking about going in and out of the matrix and i had seen a bit of that movie like a day or two ago, so it was in the mind but i don’t even know how the fuck to describe it other than my head felt it was advancing or warping out of reality while i was sleeping and all i heard was distorted warping and like whistling like howling wind but sounded high tech.

i kept thinking, since i was half awake that it was a goofy thought like maybe i’m phasing into the matrix and my head then fucking did this weird sound like twice it happened. okay and then i was awake for a bit and tried going back to sleep and was thinking next about a reddit thread i don’t know if it’s one i saw or when that’s made up of people calling the cops for ridiculous reasons, and my brain was visualizing and hearing someone saying their response of a lady calling the cops for a very stupid reason basically and was laying on my side and all of a sudden felt trapped and like there was nothing i could do about it and IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD INTRUDED MY ROOM AND WAS ABOVE MY HEAD GOING “HUH HUH HUH HUH” like they were laughing at me right above my fucking ear canal but it was the most overbearing distorted sound, it sounded like a laugh or like someone agreeing in a very obnoxious way like they’re bullshitting you going “uh huh, uh huh” as in a keep going i think your story is lame kind of way ?

i swear it sounded like a bouncing ball too or like a really weird bass kick drop of a song, i’ve had shit like this happen before but i’m not making this up this just happened like ten minutes ago probably. i’ve had spookier shit happen and this has gone on as a very rare occurence but i had something very fucking scary happen years ago and this pretty much just about matched that. i swear it sounded like someone was in my fucking room i get chills typing this and sounded like they were mocking me doing a fake laugh. it was a distorted like bouncing ball sound but at the same time sounded like a guy laughing obnoxiously. like HUH. HUH HUH. HUH. with pauses in between and also for other scary thoughts.

i guess i just wanted to hear if anyone has had a similar experience hearing something a lot like this ? i’m aware this wasn’t anything visual and i didn’t feel paralyzed, that’s never happened thankfully.

it was more so that i was frozen in fear hearing what i thought was a fucking intruder maniacally mocking me in my ear. it was the strangest fucking thing and i had something downright demonic happen but this was years ago. i mean it was fucked… just wanted to see if anyone relates in any way

so i’ll try and make this as short as possible but firstly from one pisces to all of the others you could probably feel it in this little speech im about to give but i wholeheartedly understand and empathize with each one of you and honestly just want to pass on the understanding that i know it’s hard for us out there but we really do matter and we are meant to touch the souls and share spiritual wisdom almost as metaphysical checkpoints and goalposts for just about every being on this earth, our mystical and spiritual nature is something to be so grateful for and understand when i tell you all how deeply we feel and how much that matters no matter how many assholes you may come across, it’s process of elimination and they never would’ve been for your life to begin with, the people that truly matter who see you aligned with who you are are the ones who see you and appreciate the shit out of it… promise

i hope you all are doing well especially with a pisces lunar eclipse coming up, i can feel it coming already…

i just wanted to briefly say i’m tired of hearing others talk about how being a pisces no matter your gender has negative trait A or B associated with it yadda yadda. look, every archetypal energy will have strengths and weaknesses and there’s upsides and downsides to every sign but it’s all about understanding and working with your strengths to shine. another thing, if we are an archetypal energy that is meant to be, because it IS meant to be, well then it’s meant to be. just like how a virgo is meant to be and to teach their energy or an aquarius is meant to be. pisces is valid doesn’t matter who you are, what your gender is, there’s an inherent strength in it even in gendered expression. i’ve always been a soft hearted sensitive guy and that comes across and is understood even though i have a strong will and strong heart and not to be messed with, i have all that and the capacity to be gentle and caring which inherently makes someone stronger personality wise.

anyways, i just wanted to get it off my chest and wanted to hear if any other pisces agree and i’m not trying to sound harsh at all! that’s not what this is about. this is said out of love and as a strength, i am saying we are all meant to be and to uplift one another because being yourself is the way to go in this life and i just don’t like hearing hate or negativity or “pisces guys are ____” or “is being a pisces _____?” it doesn’t matter the statement, i might even leave this community because even little flashes of some discussion about it is triggering and irritating and i’ve met so many in my life who i genuinely enjoy and care for and the respect and love is mutual.

meaning we are capable of receiving it and are inherently valid, and that’s all i wanted to say. it’s a little bit of a rant and didn’t want to come off as negative because that’s not what this post is about but i just wanted to tell you all that we are all okay to be ourselves no matter what, life is a journey of self discovery and self actualization and so long as you’re always improving taking care and making the connections you need to make then it’s gonna be okay. it’s also me screaming out saying we deserve to be appreciated and the negativity is triggering because why ? we’re so soft and special and i just don’t wanna say any negativity or negative connotations or associations with us, why can’t we just be ? 😓

anyways, again i hope this isn’t coming off as negative because that’s not at all what i’m trying to say and i hope all my sweet fishy buddies are having a great week and i hope all a relaxing restful sincere weekend. peace and love !! 🐟🐠

hello, okay i’m just gonna start by saying i’m usually one of those people where if i really got “high” i would instantly know because my entire field of perception changes and it’s very slow burn yet a fast change into seemingly a different reality all at once. that didn’t really happen but i’m a massive overthinker (obviously) and since then i am either having some placebo thing going on or overthinking myself into convincing myself of it…

but basically like 20 minutes ago i was in a garage sitting about five feet next to someone not across and they were having a couple hits of cannabis while i was talking… i definitely could a strong scent of weed in the air and this is exactly how i get because i’ve been sober just about five months and have been pretty much doing it over a year and will stay this way indefinitely now at this point, i started last year in march, went back, sobered again last late august, had a couple stints dec/jan/feb, since 1st march been clean and prioritize my sobriety in a very disciplined manner.

this has been such a beneficial change for me, i can focus, i am present and can engage with my thoughts therefore leading to conversations that are more present and versatile because i am not blurred, i can fully engage with myself and feel so much sharper and just serious but not in a bad way. i still have plenty of laughs, 5 months august 1st and never felt better and way more stabilized but anyways…

my question is did i just get contact high ? i really dislike when this happens and i guess won’t sit in the garage with someone doing it anymore because i now need to avoid smelling it and even when a beer commercial comes on or something it annoys me. am i just overthinking or tripping out ? i would really appreciate any and all straightforward and honest answers that could be reassuring and i hope that i’m just tripping out here. i’m one of those people especially a pretty good deal into their sobriety that if i knew or felt something was off, i would know and feel it. you know ?

i hope all are having a great night and wishing a happy upcoming weekend as well to all. peace and love ☮️

i do see a lot of discourse here about pisces and i know everyone has their own opinion, i just hope the general consensus isn’t that we are hated lol… i think being a pisces is hard enough because we are tied to the metaphysical plain which is understandably very illusory and untethered from material reality, we are constantly in our own little dreamscape and are always trying our best albeit there are ones that have deeper seated issues that need work and also others that have reached higher enlightenment.

there are a lot of cool pisces out there too and i guess i just wanna hear if that’s the case. we are sweet fragile beings that just want to help everyone in the best way we can and we have soo much heart it’s ridiculous, being an emotionally felt water sign. i do observe that we can be very universally compassionate and believe in universal love, i think a lot of us just want everything to flow and work out.

anyways, i’m tired so i didn’t really work on concentrating a huge explanation or get super wordy, i’ve met so many genuine kind human beings who i actually think can be very attracted to our energy or see it for what it is and i think we are very permeable and untapped so there’s a certain number that will find us extraordinarily deep and mysterious and maybe some that misunderstand it or their values don’t match it which i get, i just hope it’s not popular opinion or anything. i hope all are having a great night and maybe i could address it more in depth another time when i’m not super exhausted. goodnight 🌊🐟

hello all… i think i have quite a lot to say, but first things first is that i am a newer listener in BoC terms, i think i only got into them around ‘22/‘23 time and have deeply appreciated their enigmatic hold and the specific mystery that surrounds them and their music. i feel like their music transcends space and time, like a perfect storm feeling of it…

there is something about the understanding of them that is comforting, i believe their musical prowess is pulling from areas unknown or obscure and part of it is because while their music can be very comforting, and older but new at the same time (sonically), like a memorable gift that keeps on giving, there is also a journey to the darker side of the consciousness and existence explored in their music which i have a high level of respect for and really just is a hallmark example of a true, honed-in talent and musical or ideological capability.

i honestly just wanted to open a discussion since i don’t post here very often but just wanted to show my utmost appreciation for this group through what will be my first lived through experience of a record release in real time. i would like to know some of your personal anecdotes and stories, what sequence of events or interactions/findings led to your discovery of such mysteriously comforting group, and what all of your general personal feelings are in relation to the new record releasing end of month.

this felt perfectly on par for the brothers, seems like the perfect place and time for this, i’m going to be listening non stop and can’t wait to wear it for lack of better terms in different experiences and life events, different settings etc…

their music is just perfect honestly. there is something about it which i could only describe as: kinetic, rhythmic, mathematical, sacred geometry, geometrical, shapely, dimensional, ritualistic, abstract, spiritual, metaphysical, music obscura, hidden meaning or many meanings in one, recognizable patterns, and an overall feeling that their music captures on the feeling of code or law of the universe and the ability of consciousness across space and time to understand itself and evolve even. hopefully that makes sense or if i’m just nerding out lol.

just would like to say i love this community, the boards of canada community in general i feel are all tied together and know the exact reason we are here and understand the feeling… would love to hear any and all comments or anecdotes, or personal realizations… even stories of how you came to figure them out and what ultimately did it for you with the brothers Sandison. happy end of the week to you all, happy friday, i hope all are in good spirits and good health and positive frame of mind and i wish you all peace and prosperity.

the title says what it says, i always constantly read so much about this… like it’s so exhausting. i am a 12th house pisces sun which is kind of a house that relates to a lot of suffering… and it’s just constant with some type of negative aspect, i’m always trying to stay positive and just wanna know if any other pisces feel that way…? not saying that in a way to attract it or confuse with that… just observing that there’s always something for me to work on or something missing that can’t quite be placed most of the time…

also wanted to check in and ask how people are doing in general and feeling as of recent? i just started a new job and have been absolutely loving it and i am SO grateful to be there.

it’s difficult because i want to be appreciated and recognized in a deep way but i see how this world works in such a cold, unemotional way. my philosophy is that whether conscious or not of it, we are ALL emotional creatures and that is quite literally the makeup of our human nuanced selves, albeit expressing it in different emotional languages, or heart languages as i call them.

it’s like there is this fake code to try and force me into submission and it gets to me, it’s exhausting and just breeds more emotion and i’m not going to change my right to feel and be an empathetic softie at all for anyone. that’s how i’ve always been most comfortable and not gonna make myself a robot and turn off this rich inner world, it quite literally keeps me going.

i just observe that we are always misunderstood, mistreated, judged too quickly or too harshly, have so many sh*t talkers in general, and yes there are ones that appreciate us and see us for our genuine compassionate and dreamy selves, but even through astrology text i read, explaining we are undervalued and the like. hard to be trusted… like really ? if anything a pisces could be trusted with a lot, we’re not “those” types of people. we’re so empathetic and not one for drama or conflict, are often seen to have a safe haven mentality for our connection to higher consciousness and imagination… non judge-mental…

just wanted to ask if any else hear or observe this about pisces because i do, it’s tiring, i just want us all to be appreciated and understood for being very emotionally inept… each sign has their strengths and weaknesses i guess but just wanted to get a little conversation going, also wanted to ask how you all deal with it or feel internally about the experience of being born under the piscean archetype. i hope you all are having a fabulous start of the week and i wish all interacting with this safety, security, and genuine content ness and happiness within your selves… thanks 🐟🌊
