Vision question

In the past year I have had cataract surgery on both eyes.  Since then when I first wake up  I see images on the ceiling and sometimes a grid of gray dots on the bathroom white tile.  The images look like large bugs (only the size of a mouse) with many legs.  At times I see other animals (cat, dog, bear) if I wake up in my dark bedroom.  There is a little light from the smoke detector and my husband's cpap machine.  This happened frequently in the beginning and now only about 3-4 times a week.  I asked my eye doctor and he just laughed!!   Nothing like this has ever happened before.  I don't take any mind altering drugs that I know of....  Once I get up, I am okay.  Am I going crazy?  I am clear thinking and have no problems solving complex problems.  This really scares me.
