I've had this happen a few times! It'll happen usually while falling asleep - a sudden very loud ("overwhelming" is probably a better word since its obviously not auditory) static rising rapidly, sometimes with the image per the page. I never found it frightening, possibly because its so brief. I can imagine it would be terrifying if it continued for longer than a second or too. Having just read "Fall, or Dodge in Hell" (Neal Stephensons latest novel), this is what I expect he describes when Dodge first gains consciousness. Just... overwhelming random static.
