So true. Interestingly, though, in my sleep study literature I read that hypno. hallucinations can indicate a sleep disorder. So there are probably a lot of people who could be helped, but are afraid to talk about the hallucinations they experience.

Exactly. Having one every so often may just simply be a freak occurrence and can happen to anyone. But having them more often can definitely indicate a sleep disorder. Totally agree with you, people are afraid to talk about it because it may make them sound Schizophrenic even though that is a totally separate disorder and has nothing to do with sleep.
