Hallucinations and lucid dreams during falling asleep are called hypnagogia and definitely are different as they don’t involve REM. I think a lot of people don’t talk about it for fear of sounding crazy.
And for those interested In hallucinations, Oliver Sacks has an amazing book that I think also destigmatizes them and covers how different they can be from hypnagogic, to migraine, to drug induced, etc.
