I used to get
incredibly vivid images of spiders, snakes etc creeping about in my room. When I woke up, the first task would always be to locate the buggers.

After anywhere between 10 seconds and a couple of minutes, I'd realise what had happened and go back to bed.

Only last week my 'always acccurate' radio-controlled alarm clock went crazy and set itself forwards by over three hours. My alarm went off at around 3am, but the clock said 6am. I trusted that clock so completely that, even though it was pitch black outside, I just rolled with it, got dressed and ready for work, at which point my wife finally questioned my sanity.
