I have a recurring on in which I think a cat is walking around my ankles. I SWEAR I am awake and I SWEAR there is a cat on the mattress. Needless to say I don't have a cat. Sometimes I think there's a person touching the mattress, which used to COMPLETELY freak me out. It feels 100% real, but it's not, and it's not a ghost. It's hypnapompic hallucination.

Yeah, like I said, I'm 100% sure it's nothing, but it's definitely unnerving for a second or so. - JaxSean Apr 21, 12:57 1
- I was freaked out a lot by the cat paws, so it was a relief to learn about it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 13:03
One of my friends has a specific hallucination called Exploding Head Syndrome. - loosilu Apr 21, 12:42 4
- Hmm. I can hear a small sound but as I was not expecting it the result is it hits me like a shot, oftentimes causing the jump. Main reason I wear ear - Spawn Apr 21, 12:51 3
  - Ear plugs wouldn't stop a hallucination (unless it's a placebo?) -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 12:54 2
    - Ah, true. I think what happens is in the silence, my hearing turns up to max levels trying to hear something. Then an actual sounds overwhelms me. -- nm - Spawn Apr 21, 12:56 1
      - or you have EHS! which sounds a lot more fun. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 12:57
