Yes...a few. Only when i am very tired and stressed i think. I think its some sort of lucid dream. One was, i woke up in the night and saw my babies cradle next to me where it usually is. I asked my boyfriend who brought baby back as grandma was babysitting. I really did see it but it wasnt til morning that i realised what happened. Another was, lying in my bed and trying to sleep, i heard a bang and someone trying to get in the front door(stayed in a flat), that scared me. Someone was in the room with me, i saw an old woman and she was scary, couldnt move or scream, was paralysed. I also saw handcuffs hanging from a rope from my lightshade and i tried to grab them, but again couldnt move. This turned out to be a lucid dream aswell, thank god. BUT....the banging at the door and someone trying to get in was real, someone had tried to burgal us but failed to get in. They tried numerous doors and got in one upstairs. I think that was my brain telling me to wake up but i was in such a deep sleep.

It wasn't really terrible, but it was unpleasant as I was very confused. I was seeing really huge birds flying around inside the room, and I knew they couldn't be real, but it didn't occur to me that I was hallucinating until afterwards, so it was a little frightening.

There was a period of just over a week when my son was a baby, that I didn't sleep more than an hour or two a night. He was very sick, and didn't sleep, himself. At one point, I started to see the pictures on the walls moving around. Then the floor was undulating like waves. I finally called someone for some help, and got the sleep I needed. You can imagine that it was not, in fact, pleasant at all.

Only once that I can remember, and it was because I hadn't slept in many days due to a college project being due. I was sitting in class and I saw a swarm of huge brown moth-like things zooming right towards my face from across the room. I blinked, and they were gone. I turned to tell my friend about it, and I was somehow convinced that he was made of ice, and therefore I should just leave him alone. Yikes.

Yeah, I had a decade-long stint with Acid and mushrooms. I would say pleasant is an understatement. Otherwise it would not have lasted a third of my life... I do not recommend any of it, though. I now have experienced the issues that come from it. My brain is not what it once was..

A couple. Once when I was a teenager I was sleeping and woke to the sound of an ice cream truck at 3 in the morning, there was no truck! Then after I had my twins, I was put on percocet for my c section. I was asleep w/ my newborn son lying next to me. He was whispering my name as he exhaled, so I thought! Then I heard a woman singing opera the same night! I've never seen anything, just heard stuff!
