seeing weird things when I close my eyes to go to sleep....

Soooo....about a month ago, I ate my first "special cookie"...very powerful...
Well, I went and laid down to go to sleep, and totally tripped. Loved it.
Ever since then, about every other night, when I lay down to sleep, I get this weird feeling (not a bad feeling), and I start to see things behind my eyelids.
It looks like I am seeing actual people, going about their business. But it's just figures in like, a blue marble type pattern. The figures are in such awesome 3D too...like, they're right there. Almost better than real life. And it's like I'm right there, and I can get closer and back up, turn, walk away...but just from a viewing point...not as an actual being that is walking.
Just to clarify, I have not been smoking, OR eating anymore cookies. This has happened on perfectly sober nights. It almost seems like that one night opened something in my mind...
I have been really trying to embrace this and when it DOES happen, I really try to focus and try to make sense of it all. But its just the same, and I end up just enjoying it and then falling asleep.
I really don't think this is a lucid dream. I am 99.9% positive I am not in any state of sleep...and if I am, then it is one crazy ass stage of pre-sleep that I've never heard of. During some of the action, my eyelids do weird things, like flutter....and I smile...
I was looking stuff up today about this, and this is the most disturbing thing that I found:
Wikipedia: Closed-eye hallucination
Its pretty much describing when you trip. BUT I'M NOT TRIPPING!
Does this mean I'm insane?? What I'm really wondering is if anyone else has ever experienced anything like this before...
I don't feel like I could tell anybody about this, face to face, without them thinking that I'm on drugs, or really going insane.
I dunno. I don't know if it's just my imagination playing tricks on me, or if I can believe that it is something more.
I do believe that I have some sort of clairvoyant abilities....predicted my own car crash with a group of friends right before it happened, have had horrible restless sleep the nights of the Haiti earthquake and Japan earthquakes the nights they were happening, and before I had any knowledge of the events happening.
It really trips me out that these things happen...but there's no explanation and no one can give me answers...so I don't tell anybody. Also, I just want to mention I do believe that the human race is capable of wayyyy more than what we actually do. And I want to believe that the human species is getting closer to an evolutionary stepping stone...with 2012 and all that. But I do not discount the possibility that nothing will change...Having this on my mind quite often does make me think that it's all just my imagination...but it seems so real...
I'm glad I have this forum to reach out to like-minded people to give me some comfort and/or reassurance that I'm perfectly fine.
Thanks in advance!!

Umm, I had that for a nonstop period of about 3-4 months after insane drug-binging weeks. I would do shrooms acid weed and nangs all in one night, then next time jump on a pill and some more green. After I had my fun I decided to lay off drugs and on my first sober night I couldnt get to sleep because I kept having visuals. Anyway, mine were a bit different to yours, not as vivid as you described. And a lot more fucked up. Id see faces screaming at me and then their jaw get ripped off. And then they would morph into something else like a car and run me over. Yea, wasnt fun. I had those kind of visuals for about 3-4 months, like I said.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!
This information is great, and absolutely right on target with what I am experiencing.
I'm glad that there is an explanation and a kind of, diagnoses for this...
It makes me feel better to know that...
And I'm glad that I can accept it and embrace it for what it is....I really want to believe its something more...and I will treat it as such to enlighten my spirituality...
Again, thank you!!!

P.S.
The picture shown on the page for the 2nd link is pretty much exactly what I see...except I see more of a whole body of a person, and various objects. Like, I've seen people sitting at tables, standing around, getting up and walking, etc...but the color and the pattern are so similar, its amazing!!
I was going to post it in this thread, but I can't figure out how to do it on my phone...
Its the picture of the face/head....

Give mugwort a go. I tried that a while ago and was able to form the images myself. If you're imaginative enough you can quickly conjure up a whole area in those moments before passing out and you can jump into a dream that you created.

You lucky! It`s so hard for me to enter the hypnagogic state before sleep,always drifting off too fast. Learn to enjoy it,don`t be frightened,it`s a natural state.Don`t underestimate it also,Sleep paralysis can be quite frightening if you don`t know what`s happening to you 
To learn to have fun with that, I am suggesting you to check out - lucidology 100,101 just torrent them,loads of videos,.pdf,an more scientific and less mystical/esoteric approach to OBE`s and lucid dreams. Also "Mastering Astral Projection - Robert Bruce Manual" is a must have. Enjoy it man!
