I've only had it once and it was terrifying. Looked like intruders were walking down from upstairs to my bedroom door which was open.

Had it happen once, there were no lights or sounds but I could 'see' my mom standing in the room and staring at me.

My girlfriend had it happen once and she said she saw some shadowy nun looking things in the corner of the room.
God, these sound fucking horrible. I've got pretty much every other kind of hallucination but I've yet to actually "see" anything like this. The worst so far has been "sensing" something in the room with me, plus one time where I had a nightmare that led into sleep paralysis where I could still "hear" the monster but could no longer see it.

My BF has and he says my being there helps prevent it, but he sometimes gets startled if I walk in while he's already asleep.
Yeah I was definitely wishing there was someone else in the room with me, though I can see how it might be a double-edged sword too...

Are you a back sleeper or a side sleeper? From what I've hear it's more common among back sleepers. Maybe something changed in your sleeping position in June?
Side usually, sometimes stomach, I can almost never fall asleep on my back though I sometimes end up on it during the night. The first time it happened in early June I was jetlagged, had been up for about 20 hours, was on about 3-4 hours of sleep per night for the previous three nights, was drunk, and was sleeping on a couch, so like... no surprises there that it happened lmao. Unfortunately since then it's been happening without any of that stuff to explain it.

Honestly what helped me the most was just getting more sleep.
I was thinking this might be part of it, I've been crazy tired the past two months. Glad to know more sleep helped you!
