If hypnogogic and hypnopompic images are projections of our own mind into the outside world, why is it that last night my partner woke me with her nightmare, screaming that a monster was trying to get her, yet it was me that saw the image of it beside the bed? Suggestion playing upon my unconscious as I heard what she was saying but then why did I see something as prosaic as just a man with pointy ears? If telepathy, with me latching onto what she was seeing in her dreams, is this proof that this talent exists?
Any other ideas that I can shoot down in flames or that somebody else can give a scientific or logically glib answer too? Or has somebody got an original explanation for this phenomena that doesn't require a convoluted answer, to squirm away from the facts and that doesn't beg more questions than answers?

Maybe it's just one of those "Mysteries of Nature". You know, like singing rocks and walking trees.
