Sometimes before I actually fall asleep I can make out visual pictures in my mind. They are always dim vague still images almost like photographs taken of random things and on a black background (the closed eyes). Today though I had something strange happen.

I was seated on the chair in front of the TV with my feet up on the ottoman again but this time the TV was off and I decided to take a tiny nap or at least de-stress for a few minutes. After a few minutes I had my eyes closed and started to feel the lightheaded sensations that are common during this phase. A dim picture came together of the TV from my vantage point. I figured this is a sort of after image or at least a recent memory set to a visual image. It was also a square image which is unusual but not too terribly. Then something that has never happened before, there was a bright picture on the TV! I could see the clear whole colors! It was, as always, a still picture but I could clearly see a news person and the really bright TV background. As soon as I was startled by this the color picture vanished leaving the dim usual image behind. I tried to concentrate to recreate this but there was no way, I was too excited now, too awake.

This is the second strange dream-like occurrence in this seat. I am wondering if there is something to the fact that I was sitting up or that maybe it was an odd time for me to be asleep. Could seated sleeping positions increase lucidness or at least strangeness? This is something else to look into.
