I awoke last night seeing red...and I know I was awake?

I awoke last night watching Jackie Brown and my screen was red, like blood red. I know Jackie Brown is not a scary movie and no way near as gory as Q. Tarantino other movies but for some reason my screen was red. I changed the channel to something else and the screen went back to normal. I changed back and it was that same red. I decided to get up to ensure that I was indeed awake.

As this ever happened to anyone else?

I should add I'm going through sleep therapy and was using a CPAP machine which I took off.

I guess I don't know anything about the sleep therapy stuff. But I have seen things upon awakening that were not there. When it happens, it takes a long time to convince myself that I didn't see it. I have a fear of insects, for example, and sometimes I see one very close to my face when I first wake up, but it's not really there (usually). But it's enough to make me yelp and jump out of bed. I think that sometimes shortly after we awaken, our minds might still be partly still in the dream state. I feel like that's all it can be, although perhaps there is a medical cause for you seeing red. If you are not getting the right sleep, your sleep-cycles might be disturbed, thus causing your mind to still be partially dreaming upon awakening. Because I have trouble sleeping also and wake up frequently, that could explain why I have something like that happening to me, too. You should discuss this with your doctor.

Jackie Brown rules, btw.

Maybe it was a problem with the channel you were watching

maybe jackie brown had a problem you fine.
