I've had floaters since I was a kid and I can bounce it around like a ball just by moving my eyes, I have always been fascinated by them and always wondered what the fuck they were. Sometimes I get a translucent string that looks like a thread, that just floats across my eyes but I can't control that one.



Floaters one typically can't control, but tracers you can move yourself (or at least, influence their paths of movement).

Are the first things you describe (personally what I'd call tracers) typically a describable color? Floaters tend to be colorless or the same as the colors around them, while tracers tend to stand out color-wise and are inverted when one closes his or her eyes (the colors invert, I should specify).




You're right it's like a grayish tone. The thread looking thing I described is a floater though, it's see through.

i noticed these first when i was very young.

it surprises me to know that some people did not notice these things until after tripping.


i used to stare at the clouds alot while younger to see the different shapes/faces.

ive been wondering about these for ages too, i sometimes get floaty type things in my vision that move about when i move my eyes, also if i look at the sky i sometimes get pixely type colours, really small dots of colour.

Have had them way before i ever tried any drugs.

oh man, I've tried describing that to other people and no one knew what the hell i was talking about... the pic above is just like mine, except usually only one or two. It moves around with my eye, if I move my eye really quickly it will follow, but after a delay, as if it were suspended in a sort of gooey liquid. I noticed it when I was very young, and for a while I thought I could see the bacteria that were on my eyes, especially because of it seeming like it was in that liquid.

Bahaha!

Thought this was a thread to discuss fecal matter. :laugh:

But, on topic, I believe everyone has these to some extent.

Yeah, they were kind of eerie at times. Showed up dark against a bright sky, and light against a dark background. I remember asking a neurologist about 'em and he said they appear more in children and adolescents than adults.

Go figure.

the little squiggly points of light that you see that almost look like sperm swimming around are actually white blood cells. here's a quote and link from wikipedia, its called the blue field entoptic phenomenon

Quote:

The blue field entoptic phenomenon or Scheerer's phenomenon is the appearance of tiny bright dots moving quickly along squiggly lines in the visual field, especially when looking into blue light (such as the sky).[1] This is a normal effect that can be perceived by almost everybody. The dots are due to the white blood cells that move in the capillaries in front of the retina of the eye, near the macula.[2]

I can't stare for too long at one place such as the texture of a roof (foam spray) or wood grain without my vision going crazy on me. Things start to drift and move a little bit, almost as if I'm experiencing some kind of flashback. It's most likely some mild HPPD, if you are one that believes in HPPD (I most certainly do, some deny it's existence).





Na, not a flashback. When I was a kid I used to do that all the time because it was entertaining. Usually the most extreme times would happen at church (go figure); I'd stare at one place while the priest was rappin on about some thing or another and colors would change, the foreground would seem to move forward and the side slide away, etc...lots of cool movement.

Floaters blow though, I've seen them slathered over top of people's faces that I was talking to - like WTF floaters, let me be....

Scheerer's phenomenon eh? that's interesting. It seems I see this more in the sunlight, which I assume helps make the cells more visible...but sometimes I'll be reading or chillin on the computer and I'll suddenly see a bright flash like a burgeoning falling star in my peripheral vision. For some reason yoga seems to make these more visible, which makes me think that most of these experiences we're talking about come down to greater awareness, as redgreenvines mentioned:

I bet people who had not noticed it in a microscope as a kid, might think it came from psychedelic, which does make you notice lots of stuff that we have grown used to skipping over.

on lsd mine look like fireflys. And each time you try to catch one you create more! I love to try and catch my fireflys, but have never been successful. You call them annoying, i call them fun, lol!

on mushrooms i dont notice them as much, didnt realize that till just know actually. Ive experienced mushies a lot more though.

i dont think i have hppd(which im sure I would), but I see these floaters from time to time. But im usually stoned so it could be the weed, lol.
