Was this a hallucination?!

Question: Was this a hallucination?

I was laying in bed one night and all of a sudden i saw my mom appear out of nowhere. The image was extremely vivid but it only lasted for a couple of seconds. She looked so real but i knew at the time that she couldn't have been. It was one of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me. I told her the next day that i saw her in my room she looked at me funny and said i must have been hallucinating because she was in her room and asleep. Was this a hallucination? Is there something wrong with me? i have never seen something so vivid and realistic like this

When you're tired you can see or hear things that are not there. Sometimes I swear I see something move out of the corner of my eye, and there's nothing really there. I don't consider myself to have a mental disorder of that magnitude.

If you start seeing/hearing other things, and on a frequent basis, then (and only then) would I look into being seen by someone.

It sounds like a momentary lapse of sleep paralysis OR a hypnogogic state. Both are normal and nothing to do with mental illness.

Either it was a hallucination or she was sleep walking and doesn't remember being there.

you were just dreaming, quite normal
