hypnopompic hallucinations
I have been having these hypnopompic hallucinations for years also. Most times I dont even remember what Im dreaming about and I wake up screaming, scared, or very panicked and confused. Just a week ago I was sleeping and my wife walked by our bedroom and she said I suddently woke up screaming and pointing at her and screaming to her asking her who she was and to go away now. She said My eyes were open fully and i was pointing at her, but I cant remember anything, and then after like 10 seconds I actually woke up not remembering anything. Then on another ocasion when I was sleeping my wife walked in the room and I awoke partially and when I saw her I was scared to death. it felt like i was in danger and that it wasnt really her and i thought it was someone pretending to be her to harm me and I immediately backed away from her and picked up my pillow and was away to hit her with it lol. Then on another occasion as I was waking I saw a spiderweb and a transparent looking spider coming down on my bed to me and I immediately did a front roll on my bed and asked my wife where did the spider go cuz i was looking for it on the bed. when i was in the army years ago the same thing happened in our barracks, my friends told me that i suddently started screaming "grenade take cover!" and i woke up everyone in my barracks but i couldnt remember what i was dreaming. They said i dropped my flashlight and thats when i reacted.
So glad to know alot of people experience the hallucinations upon waking up.
So glad to hear that its normal, mine has been frequent almost every morning or everytime i wake up, I see spiders, sometimes big spiders and i jump out of bed only to see they are not there, it freaks me out cause i'm horribly scared of spiders,and i see webs and this morning i heard a voice say are you going to sleep all morning and my bedroom door opened then close or i thought it did anyway, i thought it did so much i jumped out of bed and went to the living room cause i thought my husband was home and he wasnt. I thought i was going crazy until i saw this website and realized I'm not alone. I have been real tired and not sleeping well, having bieng dianosed with adrenal fatigue due to stress and hypothyriodism which raises my cortisol levels so it keeps me from sleeping good. So I thought it might be from bieng really tired. Of course i did think the place was haunted, cause the place me and my husband moved from was.
