So, sometimes as I'm drifting to sleep, I see these incredibly vivid hallucinations. Sometimes they are things which could be there, and often things which couldn't be there. For instance, I might see this series of complex, interlocking bookshelves floating over my bed. I'm used to this and usually know better than to pay any attention to it.

Which is all good, except that last night as I was trying to go off to bed, I saw this HUGE FREAKING INSECT on the covers next to my ear. As in... too huge and bizarre to possibly be real, much less have gotten into my apartment. Holy shit.

I tried to smack it away (which didn't work, of course) knocked half the stuff off my bedside table, and spent the rest of the night huddled on the other side of the bed trying to sleep. Thank you, brain.

One time I awoke during the night to realize that my pillow had turned into a face with a gaping mouth--a mouth which kept getting larger and engulfed the entire head. It would probably have eaten me next but I destroyed it with the light. Mwahahaha! I vanquish thee with the all-powerful light switch!!

Some things just don't go away when we grow up, do they. :)

... I think that would basically be my reaction to the situation, too. Gah. I *hate* bugs.

I had that when I was younger. I was convinced giant spiders and such were in my room and it seemed very real until I fully woke up and decided that I couldn't have seen something like that in the dark. O_O

Heh, it took me a couple of confusing false starts before I recognized that the things I saw when the lights are out are not, in fact, real. :)

I've had that phenomenon happen to me.

At least you didn't see aliens trying to abduct you. (actually I didn't either, my halucination was much more pedestrian but my husband did see an malevolent goblin walking around our room once when he was in that state.)

A few days ago, I dreamt that I had mysteriously grown a large amount of body hair. I spent the duration of the dream wondering where it all came from.

Did you see Narnia that day? *eyes your icon*
