Overtired Hallucinations?

suffering with Insomnia on and off the past year and a half. I was giving sleeping tablets for a short period of time but now i am off them and back to not sleeping at all most nights.
I also suffer from bad Night terrors every other night and tend to be scared in bed and very anxious about sleeping so i have not being sleeping at all recently.

I have been having bed time hallucinations regulary lately.All objects appear to me as moving back and forward to far away or they look like they are made of jelly. The walls around me appear to me as warped or jelly like they are falling down in on me ( you may think this was just a dream or night terror but i most deffinately am awake, my night terrors are different)
Another thing as everything else seems to look kind of blurry and when i look at patterns on a shirt or somthing it strains my eyes.

I've been putting all this off as just being overtired and my mind not working propperly. But do you think there is a conection between insomnia and night terrors? Is the hallucinations sort of an "in between" motion? Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Has the sleeping pills messed up my mind for sleeping?

Thanks if anyone replys, Im new here and just looking to put my curious mind at ease peace out!

oh way cool.

you might think that's a mean thing to say, but wait till you hear this. it might actually give you a little hope for your overtired and deprived brain.

a while back when i was suffering from a severe lack of sleep, i AT LAST fell asleep and dreamed vividly. i woke up in the morning, but could not drag myself out of bed. i was just too tired. i tried like all hell to get up, and i really thought i did. my tip off was that same hallucination: the jelly like wobbly and blurry world. it took me a little bit to figure it out (i was halfway down the stairs in this strange picasso world...), but i was still asleep!

i snapped awake and decided that getting up was not a good idea. i rolled over and went back to sleep for real.

my thought on this? when you experience this, you may actually be asleep! you're brain is forcing you into REM sleep, even though you are "awake." it does funny things like that when deprived. even for a few seconds/minutes at a time, the brain is force shutting the logic center down to desperately accumulate some REM rest in order for it to function.

gods, brain science is so cool...

I’ve had insomnia for a good many years now, gone through all sleeping pills the doctors could think of and had bad reactions to quite a few. In the end, I’m in very early retirement (only 34 years old), because I only sleep every third day or so and can’t work.

Just giving a bit of background, now to the good stuff – I get visual disturbance too when I’m really, really effing sleepy. If I’ve gone too long without sleep, lines will start to tremble and the floor will look like it’s gently rolling. If I look at a wallpaper, it can look like it’s shaking, shuddering almost. This is when I reach an almost desperate point of tiredness, and I am always well aware that it’s not for real, but it’s still fairly creepy. Being dizzy with lack of sleep, I sometimes get the impression that the world is gently tilting, too, and things seem to shrink and recede, or come closer, slowly undulating like I’m watching things through a fish tank.

I’ve talked to my doctor about this and he gave me this long speech about the effect lack of sleep can have on your brain and your perception of your surroundings. It sounds like what you see is a more extreme variety of what I get, but I don’t think you’re actually asleep when it happens, your brain probably can’t process correctly.

You can apparently get some pretty serious hallucinations if you go way, way too long without sleep. It’s not that strange if you think about it, our brains aren’t designed to never be allowed any rest.
