This is really interesting! I've had what I think are exploding head syndrome experiences, and I also have occasionally weird thought sensations where everything seems fast and it doesn't feel normal, almost like a pre seizure event. But I've never heard of Tachysensia so thanks, I've got some reading to do now.
It really does feel like a migraine prodrome or something doesn't it. First time I've ever heard of another person experiencing this.
What I think may be exploding head experiences are like this: It always happens towards the end of a daytime nap or after most of my nights sleep. There are very bright white light(s) and then a very loud crashing sound. The sound could be described as either an explosion or something big and heavy falling onto a concrete floor. Its deep and there are no high pitch notes to it. The first time it happened, I dreamed that there was a very big explosion like a nuclear bomb that went off over the sea (I lived on the coast at the time) and I thought it was real. I woke up and ran to the window to check, but there was nothing. Since then I've had it a handful of times and it usually wakes me up. My hearing feels a bit impaired afterwards, like I have heard an actual loud noise.
