Strange Sleeping Experiences

Hypnagogic hallucinations

How it feels: When a person is on the verge of sleeping but still awake, he sees weird pictures before his eyes. Often these are scary faces and fantastic creatures.

Why it happens: This is one of a few types of hallucination that mentally healthy people may have. Children have them more often , which could be the reason they don’t want to go to sleep. Such hallucinations may be due to stress or simply a good imagination. They can also appear if you go to bed drunk.
