False perceptions of objects or events that can involve sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. Hypnagogic hallucinations can be visual, auditory, or somatic.
A really frightening if not traumatic situation. I think I had it once or twice. While one was only "sleep paralysis" the other was with hallucinations of intruders in the bedroom. Very very scary and a very early end of that night
Wow, thanks Mark for the info! I had to read up on this phenomenon now, even though I learned a lot about psychology a long time ago. This is a very scary, yet interesting condition. I experienced this a few times myself, as a child and when I had a very stressful life. The picture is very good, fits the topic perfectly, professional! šš š
