> I did. A seizure of some sort? What sorts of measures would prevent this from happening? Could it get worse? Is it something I would have to be on medication for? Is most everyone certain that this is not a symptom of psychosis? Does my age or gender (25, F) have anything to do with this and why it is occurring now?

Why now? Perhaps something's changed in your life? Your meds? Look at Mass Gen Neurology board, lots of other folks' experiences. Talk to an epileptologist, not an ordinary neuro. Do a web search on TLE.
I don't know. . there is just some quality to the way you described it that doesn't sound psychotic. Do you have migraine and/or Bipolar I or II? All three dxs share the phenomenon of Kindling. . .and shimmering "hallucinations."
