Then it sounds like you are experiencing underlying stress. These hallucinations tend to take forms of your worst fears or generally terrifying situations. The brain is a cruel mechanism.

This is a normal part of being alive. It happens every now and then.

Even by personal experience, I’ve woken up to the vision of my mother repeatedly slamming my door shut in a terrifying way only to realize it was a horrifying hallucination. This is normal, think of it as your dreams “blending in” with reality upon waking.

This is definitely an overblown response. Hallucinations upon waking up happen to over 10-12% of people and seeing a visual hallucination only reinforces the normality. OP take this with a grain of salt and take comfort that alarming hallucinations upon waking up are extremely common.
