Is this normal?

I thought I would post this question on these boards for some reason.. but here it is. Before you guys ever used psychedelics, did you get this weird vision when it is dark. I can literally see millions of little dots that are usually orange, blue, black ect. They don't bother me at all but when I ask others if they have them they never seem to understand.

vision is fundamentally fragments we process it together, sometimes the processing does not kick in and we can watch the fragments. if we are stoned the fragments can become very exaggerated, or intensified. i would say normal fundamentally i would say most people ignore it out of habit.

This is pretty common AFAIK. Most people I know tend to refer to it as "static".

Yeah I've always gotten that. My father gets it too.
The easiest way for me to bring it on is to watch a small TV in a dark room.
Anyhoo, it's perfectly normal. The brain is doing crazy shit all the time, we just learn to ignore it. One of the effects of psychedelics is that we stop ignoring it and start exploring it, that's why people tend to notice it more during and after psychedelic experiences.
This is an example of visual snow, I see this all the time everywhere I look, though obviously only if I am thinking about it:
 
I also see something called "photopsias". It's exactly like the dot you see after looking at a camera flash but it occurs spontaneously for no apparent reason.
All of these things are normal and healthy and most people don't notice them. Unfortunately those that do sometimes let it control their lives and think that they have brain tumor or some such nonsense.

This is a bit off subject but I learned a trick one time on LSD that if I could focus on one little bit of that static and then zoom into it, it would turn into a beautiful visual. Then I could grab onto a piece of that visual and go deeper and deeper into my mind starting with that static everyone is talking about. I haven't been able to do this for about 6 months but it stayed with me for a LONG time. I would fall asleep every night for months just going deeper and deeper into the visuals.
Nowadays I can only make it to a certain point and there is a wall blocking entrance any further. A literal wall, trippy in itself but I used to be able to pass through it with no effort. I've gotten through it a couple times while meditating or really high on weed but for the most part I think I need another acid trip.
On topic - The static is very normal and I see it whenever it's dark enough or even when its light and I think about it.

Same. The static overlays my vision when I look at anything. While I can't pinpoint each of the colours, it seems like the static is very colorful. The colours seem to change when I look at a very light or dark object. In day-to-day life it's not something I pay attention to, however during meditations, the period right before falling asleep, while day dreaming, and intoxicated by psychedelics I tend to hone in on this to aid mental clarity.
