Hello. : Hello. This really does sound frightening. It could be occurring in a state in which you are either dreaming or just waking up or just falling asleep. Hypnopompic and hypnogogic hallucinations can be different from hallucinations which occur while wide awake. I think that two things which could help clear this up are: 1. A sleep study and 2. A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. I strongly recommend both. If you are having any thoughts about hurting or killing yourself, please get emergency medical help right away.
