If you watch a tv show....afterwards?

Post Reply New Topic

Do the characters voices, and sometimes the visuals echo in your head afterward for awhile?

Seems like it's really bad lately, especially since I am repeating the same shows over (different episodes, but same show)

For instance I have been watching a lot of dragonball z, I go to sleep and the DBZ characters are in my head and they are conversing. Then I wake up and they are still in my head, conversing and fighting.

I am now watching trailer park boys instead but getting the same thing. Except less visual because i think cartoons with their bright colors get stuck in your head a lot more.

Anyways, just very distracting lately. I Guess it could be considered an obsession, but it's not really one I try and partake in- rather absent mindedly.

I dont think it is this way with movies...although they might affect my dreams I dont get movie conversations...unless maybe it is a movie I have seen several times.

Post if you get any thing similar watching TV =)

I get this quite a lot, both with programmes/films I enjoyed and ones that I didn't. I tend to find it's especially vivid just before going to sleep and just after waking.

I don't do this with visuals, but with sound. For example, hearing a song in my head is like having the radio on. It's usually classical music. Having a song stuck in my head is a different experience from hearing a song (or a lot of songs, one after the other). I thought this was just me, but recently my husband asked me out of the blue if I ever heard music in my head, and I said, "Yes, it's like listening to a radio," and he said he's had the exact same experience. He's NT, so I have no idea if the song-hearing thing has to do with AS or not; I'm not especially musically inclined or gifted, although my husband is.

This used to happen to me regularly with certain music. Hasn't happened in at least a year though.
