Eye problems..

I've had my fair share of night noises that suddenly wake me up. Once there was a loud knock as if on something wooden. The only thing it could've been was my cabinet and drawers. Another time it was a loud hissing sound. Other times there is the startling impression my bed is shaking or someone is sitting down on it. Once I was jolted awake with the frightful impression that some animal was running around in my apt. Sitting up I looked around and found nothing. These are all probably hypnopompic hallucinations. I'm not prone to infer a ghost until the very last mundane cause is eliminated.

As for my visual hallucinations, I had one last nite in fact. I was jolted awake while being half-asleep and saw two eyes shining with bright blue light. I brushed it off and soon fell asleep. When I close my eyes in my bed I am entertained by a non-stop color and shape-changing phosphene show. Moving blobs of green and cyan and rotating sticks and undulating red veils and giant eyeballs and swirling tentacled beasties. I have only to think of seeing hands and suddenly ghostly blue hands appear before me and fade away. Then of course there is the strange effect of actually seeing my hands before me with my eyes still closed. All this while chatting and joking around with the 3 voices in my head! lol Who knows how the realm of dreamful psyche and the realm of physical reality interface with each other. The mind is an incredibly deft trickster that's for sure.

That sounds a little more problematic than hypnopompic hallucinations. You might want to change up your meds.

Good day to you, MR!
