sometimes when sleeping or falling asleep i "wake up" or so. Basically im awake but i start having hallucinations about my surroundings, kind of like the description of sleep paralysis but i can move. I only have experienced sleep paralysis twice in my life so i wouldn't really know.
But hallucinations while semi sleep are wild, idk if it is normal, i haven't really considered before
The waking up part is called hypnopompia and the falling asleep part is called hypnagogia. Hallucinations are known to occur during these phases between wakefulneas and sleep (e.g "I have hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations") )
