    OK, I could be mental but....

    When falling asleep, with your eyes definitely shut, ever hear a random unexpected sound (like a creeky floorboard, a clicky radiator cooling or whatever) and then see a bright flash of light (with your eyes shut) sometimes with an odd geometric pattern, which corresponds to the sound? There's definitely a sound, there definitely isn't really a flash of light, but you have for some reason perceived the visual with the auditory stimulation.... it's like your brains sound and visual processing has got it's wires crossed...

    Been looking into this. There's this thing called "exploding head syndrome".

    Although it sounds similar, it isn't that though, EHS usually happens when you've been sleeping for a while and imagine both the sound and the flash.
