Like some others in the thread, I get this occasionally. For me, without fail, it’s seeing hundreds of spiders crawling over the walls, ceiling, and/or bed - I’ve sometimes violently tried to throw the covers off myself to get them away!

Really unsettling, and it happens so infrequently that I’m never prepared for it at all.
