Hallucinating When Sleepy?

I'm sure we've all had those moments when we're just fighting off the seemingly irresistible urge to sleep. Well, I had yet another such moment yesterday, and I hallucinated an object between the slits of my barely open eyelids. Now, I know that sleep deprivation causes hallucinations, however, this was just after one night of getting less-than-adequate sleep. I was under the impression that you needed to stay awake for an extended period of time. Has anyone else experienced this?

When I'm on the edge of being asleep I'll start to dream, see the things I'm dreaming, and upon realizing I'm dreaming I get startled and jump awake.

I only get auditory hallucinations when I've been up too long, but I don't even really hallucinate on shrooms or anything.
They're pretty clear though.. I can hear entire songs, lyrics and all.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I get pretty loopy with sleep deprivation even when it's not drug induced. I've kind of learned to like that kind of delirium.
I've also had flat out auditory and visual hallucinations with extreme(read:drug induced) sleep deprivation. What a strange state of mind.

I have always wondered about this, I stay away from things that keep me up for long periods of time, and if I need to I can smoke a bowl, drink booze or even benadryl if I really need sleep. I'm not a big fan of running off no sleep, ever.

If you guys are really interested at one point after 4 days of no sleep when I was in drug psychosis as well, I wrote down everything that I was seeing sitting on my friend's back porch and looking into the woods over the course of like an hour or two. I could see if I could dig it up, I was working in costume design on some really eccentric productions at the time and there are a lot of references to work(most of it was related to design concepts from work, oddly enough) and it doesn't make all that much sense.

Things i am currently hallucinating :
I'm sitting on Tasha's back porch which is situated at the top of a steep incline into the woods. I've been staring at the woods for about an hour hallucinating from sleep deprivation and some other things, I guess. No giant snoopys yet.
I saw a group of trees huddled around another tree performing some sort of ceremony, it kind of looked like they were cutting him up into sections. All of these tree men and the victim tree were attached via puppet strings to a bright green stilt walking reptile - only his head was shaped like a pig. The pig reptile seems to be a compilation of a lot of different mutant/animal/and dinosaur(stilt walking,btw) costume. He was a puppet too but I couldn't see where he was being controlled from.
A man in a distressed hazmat suit with a gas mask and glowing eyes is staring at me from behind the tree.
Now it's just uniformed men, a bunch of guys in construction vests eventually showed up randomly. The guys in the military were spread out and dispersed. they looked casual at first glance but then i noticed that they were all periodically turning their heads to stare at me when they thought it was not noticed. like they were moving in to launch an undercover or sneak attack. In the real world, I just lit up a cigarette, turned back, and suddenly all of them(and several other hallucinations as well) were also smoking cigarettes.
I have seen a white rock get up and crawl a few times now like a turtle.
I went to the back porch and walked past one of my dressers from work(who also incidentally lives in the same neighborhood.)
This was the only one I had to double check if it was real or not because it was an actual possibility. No one was there when I poked my head around the grill and stacked bins. I am hearing talking and noises that seem like it is coming from the woods(it could also be neighbors, actually wait, I think that is the neighbors across the street.) This has happened a couple time and that is one that gets me confused sometimes.
Last night was the beginnings of the visual hallucinations - corner of the eye stuff in the green room. Enough to scare me pretty bad. I heard talking from all over the theatre, but there was a walkie talkie i was here - though occasionally it sounded like it came from the other side of the stage. Nowadays I'm still hearing the radios and I am also hearing the sound of ice cleats on concrete, constantly.
One of the productions I was working on was an ice show(hence ice cleats) and another was a snoopy themed kids show. It's kind of incoherent, the "walkie talkie" I'm talking about was a radio security installed in our electrical room for some reason that I could hear through the costume shop, it was really throwing me off..it was 1am and I was all alone in a dark theatre when this started going down. I was pretty aware I wasn't in the right state of mind and was kind of just content with observing the insanity.

It's possible to stay fully conscious from awake to sleep, and then enter a dream. I did that once after practicing meditation and lucid dreaming techniques for about a month. It felt like being teleported into the dream. I could feel my whole body begin to vibrate and then faster and faster until I saw the dream materialize around me.
It's a shared phenomenon. It happens to people who do this. I get CEVs just by being tired too. Most people don't care though and don't have dreams or bother to try and remember them.

HAH, it was horrible. Never again, I'd much rather just stick with psychedelics for open eye visuals and get a good nights sleep nowadays. I had some help staying awake with stimulants and I was under a tremendous amount of pressure from work and pretty close to a nervous breakdown. It was by far the weirdest hallucinatory experience of my life.
..well, one of them.

I don't really do late nights anymore, honestly, because of this exact issue. When I don't get sleep, I know that a few things are going to happen: I'm going to be mentally and physically lethargic. I'm going to be depressed. And worst of all, I know that I'm going to be fighting off bouts of extreme tiredness, which as I've learned can make me hallucinate. It's absolutely terrible.
