more often than not i tend to have these odd little hallucinations as i wake up, whether it be in the middle of the night or early in the morning. i see things that are there, but not the way they actually are.
did that make sense?
let me explain.
the other night i was asleepin' on the couch. my cat, Marvin, was at my feet. i woke up because he decided he needed to give himself a bath at 3 o'clock in the morning. (i'm a light sleeper). so i sat up to look at him, and an orange and white cat jumped up onto the couch with us and started rubbing up against Marvin. i watched as Marvin started licking the orange and white cat....and it took me about 10 seconds to go, "wait a minute.....where the hell did this cat come from?!?!?!"
i closed my eyes, blinked a few times, and when i looked again....there was no orange and white cat, but my fiancee's calico tabby kitten. odd. why did i see a completely different cat?
years ago i had gotten a series of love letters from a boy i knew in high school. one particular morning i woke up and practically jumped out bed in a slight fit of panic when i saw Love Letter Boy lying down next to me. slowly, his image melted...faded...leaving my boyfriend there.
this happens so often. this phenomenon is called "hypnopompic hallucinations".
interesting stuff.
has this ever happened to you?
