Is it normal to see scary images when you close your eyes

Every time I get ready to go to sleep and close my eyes I see scary images and I'm not even asleep yet. Is there something wrong with me? I have tried looking it up but I cannot find an answer.

    It's called Intrusive Thoughts. If you only get them when you are trying to fall asleep, it's probably not a sign that something is wrong with you. The act of laying down to fall asleep causes anxiety, and most people have some trouble falling asleep because of this.

  • I get this sometimes,also when I close my eyes in the shower. I think it's a control thing or lack of it.i usually at bedtime force my self to think of a clear memory something I remember well,I kind of act it out in my head step to step,usually my wedding day and I fall asleep.try it might help,you really have to concentrate on the memory and ignore the bad thoughts (mines usually just like scary faces etc)
