15. Let me ask you something...

There is a word for this phenomenon, and it's a semi-normal real thing. I looked it up once, but I've totally forgotten what it is called.

When I lay down to go to sleep, visions float against the blackness of my inner eyelids. Very very detailed visions. Faces with beard stubble. A firebox on a telephone pole with white paint on the pull handle, with some rust in the lower right corner, etc.

It's not like I THINK I see these things, I actually see them. The visions float on by, then another appears.

I've never done hallucinogens.

From what I remember reading about this, every vision that you see when this happens is something you've actually seen in your life before.

Does this ever happen to you?
