Haven't slept all night! I have a question about hypnogogic hallucinations (I think that's what they're called). I suspect that it runs on my dad's side. I had some experiences in my mid-teens: I would "wake up" to auditory hallucinations (low to high frequency), visual hallucinations of my body "coming out of itself", and out of body experiences, followed by sleep paralysis. My father told me not to be frightened, that it happened to him and his brothers and some of his sisters (large family), and that he seemed to grow out of it as he got older.
How common is this, and is there any research on it?
