More likely black spots that your brain is organizing into a recognizable shape. It happens when you first stand up, right? I'm betting it's positional-related blood pressure drop.
Yes, I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. Why do you ask? |

No, these are quite detailed. I awoke the other day to a shiney black and yellow banded beauty about 3" across dangling from a thread. And then suddenly it wasn't there. They are definitely part of my brain getting into "shit together" mode but they are much more than sleepy spots. |

The exact same shit happens to me, although it has not lately. I used to get sleep paralysis as a child, so this is probably related. I will sometimes wake up and see spiders crawling or hanging from a web strand (very realistic, I can see the divisions in the anatomy). After a while, they sort of fade out of existance. Sometimes I see glowing webs in the corner. I guess I could be going crazy or something, but I doubt it. Oh and I have actually got up an turned the light on to see if these are real and they dissappeared rather quickly.
I reccomend you look up hypnagogic hallucinations. NM, I did it for you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogic_hallucination |

very, very scary stuff. i thought i was going insane until i did some reading on the condition and learned that the visions/hallucinations you get are just the remnants of a dream which you're still in the middle of even though you're awake and your eyes are open. |

Seems to fit except I can move... Your eyes are open, you are aware of your surroundings, yet, you cannot move. Suddenly, you hear growling in your ear and feel something monterous bearing down on you, making it difficult to even breathe. You cannot scream, you cannot move away from this molevolent being. You try with all your might to move just a little, finally you manage to move your finger.....the spell is broken, the monster is gone, you can breathe, you can move......relief, terror, heavy breathing...."What just happened to me?" You have just experienced a Hypnagogic Hallucination. H.H. has been documented in most all cultures as far back as 1000 years or more. Hallucination, by definition, is false or distorted sensory experiences that appear to be real perceptions. These sensory impressions are generated by the mind rather than by any external stimuli, and may be heard, seen, felt and even smelled or tasted. A Hypnagogic Hallucination occurs when the dreaming mind intertwines with the waking mind. This can occur on waking (Hypnapomic Hallucination) or at sleep onset (Hypnagogic Hallucination) H.H. is a common occurance in people with narcolepsy, however, many people have experienced this phenomena. And although it is called an "Hallucination", it is not at all dangerous or a symptom of a dangerous disorder. Frightening? Yes! Harmful? No. ETA: Looking at your link it seems paralysis isn't in every case. I guess that is what it must be. However I don't recall dreaming about spiders. How come I never wake up to Buffy Davis or Trinity Loren? |

I used to get paralyzed then feel myself being sucked IN TO my floor. Either that or I would seem to become part of various objects in my room. I didn't get much sleep for a while, but it went away. |

When in a hypnagogic or hypnopompic state a person can have lifelike auditory, visual, or tactile hallucinations (known as hypnagogic hallucinations), perhaps even accompanied by full body paralysis.
You aren't always paralyzed, so be thankful you are not.

The problem is, its pass 2:00AM and you are posting on here. Go to sleep early and wake up at reasonable hour in the morning and it will go away. |

when it happens, does it make you absolutely terrified? often times (as was the case with me), hypnogogic visions are absolutely terrifying, because the part of your brain that controls fear suddenly goes into overdrive, kind of like a valve getting struck open. i have come close to getting killed, but that wasn't nearly as scary as the fear i felt during the half dozen episodes of sleep paralysis + hypnogogic visions i have been unfortunate enough to experience.

Not really. Usually I just sit back so I don't end up with a fucking spider on my face. Then I wake up a bit more and "poof" it's gone. It seems to be somewhat related to "lucid dreaming" (according to the wikipedia link) and I can do that. |

I read once that visions of spiders in dreams were symbolic of the mother.
Maybe it has something to do with mom. Or maybe it's all just BS.

People who breathe through their mouths when in slumber tend to have much fewer to deal with when they awake.
Kinda like "nature's candy" or a midnite snack.

They're real, and they're really there. Your subconscious just tunes them out once it wakes up enough in order to block the terror.
