I get these all the time (even though I also hallucinate when I'm wide awake). Mine are totally bizarre, especially while waking up (the hypnopompic hallucinations) like a few days ago one of my model airplanes came alive and then took off and went through the ceiling. Then one time I got up and saw a helicopter in my room. A lot of the time I see different objects in my room while I am getting up (but not while going to bed). When I was in the hospital (I don't know if this counts because I was up for a few minutes before it happened but was still lying in bed) I saw a tiger moving about in my room. How many of you guys get this type of hallucination?

My psych says these are common even in normal people and says it's okay for me to hallucinate whilst just waking up or going to sleep. Hope this helps.

Love and Hugs,

I experience hypnogagic imagery, which is the things you "see" or "dream" when you are kind of falling asleep but aren't asleep. I get these multiple times each day because I often start to fall asleep several times during the day. I think they're kind of cool. They are a very normal part of the sleep process. I'm not sure if that's the same thing you're talking about or not. I don't consider them hallucinations--I think of those as occurring when one is fully awake.
