On a slightly different note, does anyone experience sleep paralysis? It usually only happens to me if I've been sleeping for a very long time (>10 hours and I'm being lazy by staying in bed and escaping to dream worlds). When this happens each successive time I wake up I'll have a different hallucination. For example, just this last weekend there was a holographic owl that was sort of hanging out of the mirror in my room, and after that a strange black monster with sharp black teeth that was hovering overtop my dresser, then began to creep towards me and hung far over my bed snapping its teeth at me...and all the time unable to move, but somehow never afraid. I guess I'm lucky that I'm not one of those people who experience sleep paralysis in the middle of the night and are unable to move while they experience aliens jamming probes up their arses.

Yes other times when I would dream the "monster" would come into my room and I would be unable to move or scream. I've also had it so I would see my room with my eyes open and close my eyes and see the dream, open my eyes and see my room, close my eyes and see the dream. It only lasted about 30 seconds and only ever happened once. (Strangely the dream was a fight between a demon and an angel.)
But I've never had real hallucinations like you say. That is freaky!!
