This is a good a place as any to ask about weird sensory experiences at night.
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, and while my eyes are open there is an instantaneous change in my vision equivalent to wearing coloured fillers or monochrome LED lighting. Usually red. No other symptoms. Transition was instant so that rules out retinal bleeding etc.
I asked my doctor about this, she didn't know either.
Moderately confident, but not 100% certain. I believe my dreams are normally longer than these experiences, and that my dreams have not involved my actual environment since I was in pre-school.
The only thing I have in terms of waking up in middle of the night is that I seem to see hexagon honeycomb patterns of RGB lights..... not kidding. They're like phasing in and out. Really makes me think of a visual screen, lol. If I push on my eyes they move.
I heard something a bit like that, once when I was 11, and I was waking up after being knocked out by a trampoline. Only time it happened though, and it was spinning triangles filling my vision.
