Reg. hypnagogic hallucinations aren't always intense and sometimes the visual ones are even limited to behind your eyelids (though not always). You said you have sleep paralysis with the hallucinations (the hallucinations tend to be more severe and often frightening during sleep paralysis), and that's a whole other ball park, generally speaking! Tokitoki had good advice about avoiding sleeping on your back, as I have read it increases the likelihood of having sleep paralysis. Sorry I don't have any more advice, but wanted to back up tokitoki on this one. Do you normally sleep on your back? I'm sorry you are dealing with this. I know it must be really frightening. Also, are you usually sleep deprived when you go to sleep or...?
