Sometimes when I'm falling asleep I see images flash in front of my eyes, like entire scenes that don't mean anything to me. Usually they are of people but I don't know them. It just lasts a second and there are literally hundreds maybe even a thousand images that flash before my eyes before I fall too sleep. What is this?
If you stayed aware a little longer, those images would start to form into short movies/dreamlets that you can enter and have a WILD lucid dream. But this is most likely to happen after a few hours of sleep, not first time when you go to bed at night.
Please ask, if you have more questions. Happy dreams:alien:
Those are called hypnagogic imagery/hallucinations. As what gab said, you can use those to enter a dream, given enough time and practice ;)

I too get flashes right before I go to sleep. These flashes are of scenes - rooms, the feel of lying down on a bed in the room, the lighting in the room, etc. And during the day, with my eyes open, there are micro-second flashes - like a pattern, a white background with toothpick like things arranged in a certain pattern. And here is the catch - I know what the arrangement is for. Like my subconscious brain ALMOST understands what it is (cuz I feel like I have seen it many times before), but right before I actually understand what it means, its gone.
This one time I had a waking vision of someone dragging me by my leg across the floor. Nothing negative about it, I just saw it.
Again, I remember my dreams too vividly. I dont remember what they were about, but I remember the scenes, the screenshots, and the feel I had in that particular screenshot in the dream. For example, if I am feeling let down because of situation type A, I will have the flash of myself standing by this swimming pool in this one dream where I had that feeling (I remember the other details of the dream, but my mind chose to flash me that particular scene). I think these flashes are triggered by how I'm feeling, sense, smell, state of mind, etc.
I know a part of it can be called hypnagogic hallucination, but what of the part when I'm not sleeping, and visions or patterns just jump me out of the blue?
I'd like some help on this.
