In the past two months i have had 3 vivid and colored hullicinantions upon waking in the night. They have scared me.
I have had more leading up to it and afterwards but I had fallen asleep straight away and therefore not remembered them clearly, which do not effect me.

When the vivid ones have happened, I realise I wake suddenly and open my eyes right away to see a hullicintion right away. Then, I put on a light or shine a light on it and its completley gone. I am able to move during and I have jumped out of bed/shouted and sworn during. I am very frightened during and heart races. I have fallen back asleep easily after but have remembered them clearly.

The hulliciantions have been purely visual and include 1-2 bright glowing colours including a mooving giant purple catepillar; a emerald green envelope on the wall and a orange round object on the floor with a face. Colors are almost glowing. No sounds or smell or toutch.

I have had hulliciantions upon falling asleep for around 2 years such as seeing giant spiders and human forms etc. I have also had the one where I'm falling and I wake suddenly.

These ones upon waking are more concerning, especialy as they are vividly coloured and different to the ones I had upon sleeping.

Can anyone tell me what this could be? What exactly is causing these new ones in paticular to happen? Its all good to say its a type of hullicianation but I want to know why.

I can only think of 2 or three things that it may be. I take 10mg amitriptalyne before bed and have done for about 1.5 years. I have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue which is a mystery, which I've had for about 4 years.

I'm not looking to visit the dr for a while as we are talking about hulliciantions here and its a concerning subject that may be taken the wrong way as I am not having any daytime/awake hulliciantions at all.

I want to stop these ones as they are scary and welcome ideas.

Thanks
