Hi,

I am new here. So I want to say hi to everyone and talk about something. Sometimes just after I wake up (day or night) I see something that is not really there. Well at least I think it is not really there. For example I have seen people that weren't really there standing near me and then after a few seconds of me staring at this image it vanishes. I believe this has happened to me for my entire life. It seems to happen less often as I get older. Does anyone have any similar experiences. I still wonder sometimes if I am seeing a ghost or a hallucination. There is a medical term for these hallucinations. "Hypnopompic hallucination" The definition is: "A vivid dreamlike hallucination that occurs as one is waking up." I really want to hear from others who might also experience this. Thanks.
