I'm a 20 year old student, and contrary to everyone here, I actually look forward to these crazy hallucinations, which like everyone else, can take an extremely vivid form. I experience these hallucinations almost every night.
Many times it starts to get uncontrollably frightening, from milder things like screaming to truly horrifying scenes like heads getting ripped apart, but I've learned to control them, or at least to reassure myself that it's all in my head.
Otherwise, I experience amazing music and colours, and then lucid dreaming (i.e. controlling my own dreams), which is always a lot of fun, as you can will yourself to do practically anything and it'll seem real. For example, jumping off a cliff and flying.
So yeah, I actually really enjoy these experiences
