Yes: Hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations are relatively common in temporal lobe epilepsy. It comes as no big surprise to me that you would eventually be diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy and i'm pleased to hear that you're feeling better on the Lamictal . Take care and be well. Also, you might want to spend some time reading up on some famous historical figures with temporal lobe epilepsy, including dostoyevsky and the composer gustav holst.

Other consdierations: Micropsia and macropsia can be a symptom of epilepsy or of migraine. Symptoms of seizures are usually stereotyped, if there are a variety of visual distortions less likely to be epilepsy. Speak to your neurologist. Consider a 24 hour ambulatory eeg that might capture the symptoms on the recording to make a specific diagnosis.
