Hey, I'm new here and have a few questions. First of all, I've never been a really good sleeper (trouble going to sleep, trouble staying asleep, seemingly quiet noises wake me up) so I've tried almost every trick in the book on getting to sleep/staying asleep (other than meds, I refuse to take meds). Secondly, fairly recently (within about a month or two) I'd be about half asleep and suddenly I'd just start seeing things (sometimes it's memories playing back movie style, sometimes it's things that I can't even describe). It started as a once in a while thing but now it's almost every night. Can anyone tell me what this is? I read some of the intro posts and it doesn't seem like it is a lucid dream because I never really fall asleep.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
