Every night when I lie down in my bed, eyes closed but still fully awake, I get completely random images of things. A lot of times of things or people that I have never consciously seen before. This has also happened when I was standing in the shower with my eyes closed, so I obviously couldn't have been falling asleep. Sometimes its just images and sometimes I'll see a small scene of someone doing something. Like I'm watching them from somewhere else. I usually don't recognize any of the images or scenes and have no idea what they mean if they do that is. Occasionally I can hear things too, but they usually don't make much sense. I've read about the hypnagogic stage and how people can get random images, but I don't think they would get them every night or just whenever their eyes are closed. Just curious if this happens a lot to others or if anyone had any idea about what causes this or what it might mean. Thanks.
