Does anyone else see completely random images in their mind’s eye? They’re things like a dog, a random person I have never seen before, a completely random object etc. it happens way more when I close my eyes and before I fall asleep. They’re extremely vivid. Kinda like intrusive thoughts but images. It also happens in the middle of the day when I’m fully awake but not often.

I don’t think they would be considered hallucinations, it’s all in my imagination.

I had them as a kid but they’re much more frequent now.

Yes. Kinda like intrusive thoughts but images is a good description.

Ah, good. I brought it up to my mother and she said she never had that in her life. It’s odd just how random and vivid they are. I’m not thinking about dogs at all and then suddenly a super vivid image of a Labrador will appear.

I miss her very much :(

Sounds like a radio tuner picking up bits and pieces of stations on the air.

I would not dismiss them altogether, these visions may have meaning. Past, present, or future. Perhaps it would be helpful to jot such things down in a journal for later contemplation.
