I am now 38 years old and have had these for as long as I can remember. They can be as frequent as several a week, and the longest duration I went without them was in the two years following the birth of my son. I thought that the hormonal changes of pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding had gotten rid of them, but not so.
But, I want to reassure everyone here that having recurrent hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations does not necessarily mean there is an underlying medical or psychiatric issue. I am very healthy both physically and mentally.
I do believe there may be a genetic link. My sister and nephew also have them, and I think my young son does as well. They don't scare me anymore. I take it in stride.
