I used to think I was alone in this till I read some of these. Misery loves company to say the least. I tried associating it to something I was doing or consuming during the day, I was convinced for the longest time it was Milk so I stopped drinking it and it went away. They eventually came back. It's always during the first part of sleep just after going to bed. Here's the easy solution that works for now (until it stops working and my brain trains itself to get around it) I wear a sleep mask to bed. When I wake up the first time during the night, I take it off and am fine the rest of the night.
If you read this and try it, I would be curious to know if it works for you too. Also, sorry. but I love reading these stories, they are funny as long as it is happening to me too. Email me at mark.***@**** if you like.
it's probably just a common occurrence if it doesn't harm you just try to ignore it and go back to sleep
I'm 63, I have always had vivid dreams that make no sense. I have never walked in my sleep. I have always been able to distinguish between dreams and reality. I have never had trouble sleeping. Over the last two months I have been waking from dreams and seeing images some orange most black no distinct form, cloudy. The images have nothing to do with the dream I'm waking from. They seem evil, I know I'm awake and they they only go away when I swat at them. Anyone my age having the same experience?

This also happens to me. It seems to happen when I'm pregnant. And it's always a spider!!! The very first time I remember thinking it was coming down from the ceiling onto me and I literally fell out of bed 7 months pregnant. Now I'm pregnant again and it just happened.... I don't know what's causing it , it only happens when I wake up from a nap extremely still tired ... also it would happen when my baby was newborn I would wake up and hallucinate that's he was seizing and his eyes going back and forth...... it's very scary but it's definitely a hallucination. Maybe lack of sleep maybe malnutrition bc I'm also sick alot ....but seeing spiders crawling around waking up *****!!!! CREEPY CRAWLERS !!! I wish I new what it was so it would stop :(
