This happens to me and I think it is perfectly normal. Just information being shuffled back and forth between long-term and short-term memory.

When I was young I was very afraid of mirrors, and I couldn't look into them which presented a problem at my house as the washrooms were heavily mirrored. The reason for this was I was afraid the reflection wouldn't be me, but someone else who I didn't know.

When you actually looked in the mirror, was there ever a time when you really didn't recognize yourself? Not being able to recognize yourself in a mirror is a symptom of psychological depression. Maybe when you were young you had an experience of not recognizing yourself in the mirror and it frightened you, but you don't remember the experience, just the fear.
Do you by any chance have a weight or an eating problem? (Sorry if you think this is too nosy.) People with weight/eating problems often have body image problems and don't see themselves in mirrors properly.

I have also seen things and felt things that were not there. Once I chased my younger sister down the hallway where she went into her room. But, she wasn't there, she was in the kitchen sitting with my mother cutting cupons. The hall didn't even branch in that direction, nor had my (very young at that time) sister moved from her seat under my mother's supervision. (I had, in my confusion, asked her if my sister had been running aroung).

Do you mean in a dream or in real life? If it happened in real life when you were very young, I don't think it's a big deal. For very young children, the boundaries between the dream world and the waking world are less distinct. If it's still happening in real life, you might want to speak to a counselor about it.

Once a person was in my room with me, and touched my arm, then was gone. I felt it, and their presence.

Lots of people have had similar experiences.

I often see things like a green spot with a turning root inside of it, that I can actually focus on. (it looks like it is underwater and has bubbles around it) or waves of red or blue spots, flowing everywhere, then tapering away.

This sounds very likely to be a purely physical thing. An eye problem or a neurological problem. Definitely something to get checked out by a doctor. I get ocular migraines and see all sorts of weird things; it's just the blood vessel behind my optic nerve dilating.
