flashing faces

When I close my eyes to go to sleep at night, I often see faces - they can be men, women, old, young, they seem to move toward me then are quickly replaced by another. Sometimes it's soldiers, wearing their slouch hats. They're not disfigured or threatening, but they make me feel sad. They're always in sepia tones or grey and white.

Another image that has just begun to appear is that of looking up through a hole in the ground and seeing the grass at the edge of the hole and just outlined in the distance shapes of gravestones, all outlined by moonlight. Again, I don't feel threatened at all, but it's very clear and obviously black and grey because it's at night.

Does anyone else have these experiences?

I get those faces all the time, too! For me, it is more like one face that is continually changing into others. I am normally lucid enough to notice how strange it is. They are never people I know in real life. Just random faces pieced together.

Yep, happens to me all the time. It's mostly faces of people I have never met (or can't remember) and sometimes random objects or landscapes.
I don't feel like I really see them, it's more like I remember that they were there a split second ago. The image I remember is always very dark, usually grey tones and sometimes sepia.

They don't evoke any feeling is me, they are just there and don't bother me at all.

Good to know I'm not the only one! Yes, that's probably a better description - one face that is continually changing into others.
