    It's a time back when I read a strange post somewhere (i think it was on   
   this newsgroup) about someone seeing dark shadows disapering fast on real   
   awakenig. He interpreted this as big spiders or demos or anything mystical.   
   Never had that experience before but today I awoke and saw a dark black   
   shadow on my white backwall vanishing extremly fast. It looked like   
   something rushing away very quickly. The sun was alerady shining outside and   
   entered my room through the partly uncovered window. (I darken my bed room   
   partly only)   
   So the white of the wall and the drak shadow in contrast was well visible.   
   This shadow disappeard almost in the same moment when I saw it and this was   
   during opening my eyes!   
   Puzzeled and courious about what I just saw my mind  imediatly kicked in and   
   started to work and helped to surpresed the very first shock moment that   
   wanted to make me jump off.   
   It took me only some seconds and 2 other eye opening tests in the same   
   position to realise that what I saw must have been my eyelid during the eye   
   opening process. In my test only 2 or 3 seconds later in the same position   
   as i awoke it covered exactly the same spot on the wall where I saw the   
   shaddow.   
   An opening eyelid would explain the almost instand vansihing of the shadow.   
   Why I could spot the eye opening process at all on this awekeing and not   
   already before I dont know. I guess my awarness and my physical body   
   (eye's/mind) just fit at that moment to make me see a shadow whereas I am   
   very sure now it was my eyelid.   
   I guess that the one that saw shadows when he or she woke up, probabily   
   really saw their eyelid covering a part of the view during the opening like   
   i did.   
   Thought I share this.
