Hallucination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hypnagogic hallucinations and hypnopompic hallucinations are considered normal phenomena. Hypnagogic hallucinations can occur as one is falling asleep and hypnopompic hallucinations occur when one is waking up.
I have never heard those two big words. There are links to both of them which I am sure define them.

I get them a lot where I will hear my name being called very loud but no one called it. Sometimes it wakes me from a dead sleep and sometimes it happens when I am just waking up. I don't know if you can call me normal or sane though. When in severe depression I think I have slight psychotics features. It is worst when I am trying to get to sleep but am having trouble. Other times it is very bad paranoia, but that might be considered delusional and not psychotic. Like misinterpreting things that are real. This happens in the middle of the day when I am wide awake.
