Seeing with your eyes closed
    #8018677 - 02/13/08 05:40 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

I'm just curious, can anybody else see with their eyes closed in the dark? When I'm in my bed with my eyes closed, I can see my blanket - my wall - my window - and my hands when I pass them infront of my eyes.

the interesting thing is that I've noticed this ability before I started using any drugs; and now it's just enchanced

I had this ability the first time i took Pharmahuasca.

I could see the other people in the room, and i could see every part of my body, like my arms moving in front of my face, all with my eyes clothes.

It was like an infinite room of blackness, but with my friends in multi-colored particle form in it, along with my own self.


--------------------
Teonanacatl, open up my eyes
This sacrament, this prayer, beyond the world of lies
Guide me clearly through that which I dont understand
Give me strength to find the path
Help me fight any demons as you flow through me wholely
This is my prayer, that you protect me from evil, and bring me closer to peace
And open up my eyes, so i can see things as you do
Amen

On mushrooms, I have an extreme sense of location and can find my way around, and know were objects are with my eyes closed.

I cannot see, I just know/sense.

That used to happen to me when I smoked weed. I could see like white-noise outlines of my hands and arms. I always wondered if other people could do it, strange stuff..

Weird... I noticed this too a few months ago... woke up to a nice hangover camping in a teepee in very cold weather (around 20 degreesF)... I could see the top of the teepee where the opening was, not only with my eyes closed, but through the blanket too! Since then I've had it happen a few times, usually upon waking up, or falling asleep, being able to see my walls, window, etc... I played around with it a bit to where I could see my hand passing in front of my eyes, vaguely. However, make sure your eyes are tightly closed when you attempt this, because in my experiments, it can very well seem like your eyes are completely shut, while they're in reality still open every-so-slightly... it's sometimes hard to tell the difference, but once you truly experience seeing through your eyelids with them fully closed, you'll be able to see the difference. I'm assuming this is some way tied with the third-eye/astral/conscious body, rather than actual physical optical perception, since it seems to be somewhat tied to sleep cycles and psychoactives, at least in my experience and what you've all just stated. I used to have a friend that could do this quite easily, after he trained himself. He'd push his eyes as shut as could be and be able to tell how many fingers you were holding up, every time.

Yes I have this effect too. I was just telling my friend about it earlier. I was saying perhaps it's tiny pieces of light passing through molecular-level holes in your eyelids causing your brain to construct an image...

That could make sense... except for when I clearly could see through my eyelids, and a blanket. That sealed the deal for me... there's something a little more going on there, even if it is (which I highly doubt) delusion.

happens to me all the time, more often than not under the influence of psychedelics. i think it may have alot to do with the fact that even though your eyes are closed, your brain is still aware of the body and its surroundings. like for example, when i move my arm in front of my face with my eyes closed, i still know where my arm is. the brain compensates for the lack of light and sends the proper messages anyway, out of habit...

...or something. i am by no means a professional on the subject, just my 2 cents. interesting when it happens either way.

how's your WOW?

This thread was moved from The Psychedelic Experience.

Reason:
This question doesn't seem to be related to any psychedelic in particular so I'm gonna file it under general chat and send it to the Pub.

some photons make it through the eyelids unimpinged, either via quantuum effects or just old fashioned means.

When it happens it feels like much more though, and it is.
