Little dots that come out at night!?
    #920223 - 09/30/02 06:46 PM (21 years, 5 months ago)

The "static" post reminded me of something weird that I have seen all my life, let me describe it and see if anyone can explain or at least relate to this:

As long as I can remember, I have been able to see little dots as a lie in bed in the dark at night. They are black in the center, and surrounded by neon color on the outside. Usually it is pinkish on the outside, but I think I remember them being surrounded by different colors in the past. There is generally a whole sea of these dots that will flow across my line of vision, and I am never able to focus in on just one of them.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, totally. I thought it was just some sort of eye-perception thingy, you know, nothing science couldn't explain, until I read 'Sex and Drugs' by R A Wilson...

Damn. Just scanned the book, but I can't find the quote, and now I'm not sure it was even in there. Regardless, I've read something about it somewhere, and though I can't even remember what the hell I read, I know what you're talking about. How's that for vague and unhelpful?

Yep I have something of the same thing, except it's not dots but blobs of dull color. It's a normal human thing, and I think it's called "hypnogogic imagery" (spelling may be wrong there) or something like that.

I think that as we fall asleep we enter a state something close to sensory dissociation, and the feedback systems in our sensory processing begin to add a type of hallucination to what we are seeing.

Ugh, what a tease! :P

Heh, well try to find a good explanation. I would love to know what these little dots, that have been my friends all my life, are all about!

I get visions like you describe in sunlight when I look at the sky. They move around a lot in a swirling motion. I'm not sure if what i see could be the same sort of thing or not......who knows?... :laugh:

I get lots of different sober "visuals"
when staring at a bright sky, I get a circular, "swirling worms" thing that swirls into the center of itself in a strange pattern...

lying in bed at night I see several different patterns, one is something akin to a simple but simultaneously complex geometric pattern placed over several spheres which sort of "fizzle" in and out of existence...
other times it's a sort of "tunnelling" into a blue and black tunnel. waves of blue, then black, just sort of passing "over" me
other times it's just complicated colorful patterns that I wouldn't know where to begin describing.
it's fucking weird though

All my life i've seen these too! I describe them as being light molecules, and i can also see them in the sunlit sky if its really bright and cloudless or anything of solid colour/shading. If i let myself haze out i have visuals as well, i see eyes swirling, or sunbeams or sacred geometry patterns...

when i look at space that is very well lit, for example: under a microscope or at the right angle through my glasses i can see tiny translucent segmented things wiggling around and moving randomly about.

I asked my eye guy about it and he says it has to do with neurons and synaptic "flashes" as he put it. Sometimes in the daylight I see these, what appear to be, flagellens and ameobas float across my vision and he says those are blood veins or something along those lines. I think he should have his perception checked.
But those flashes sometimes come and go. WHAT I GET are these 'windmills' when I close my eyes in the dark and open them;THATS freaky!

yeah, I read somewhere about the "floaties", that they're remnants of a vein that is present... when you're a baby or fetus or.... something? and that later you don't need it and it shrivels up and floats around in your eye? kinda creepy, but they do look kinda like bits of veins and at least they aren't floating around in front of you all the time... that would be rather distracting

Yeah I have floaters in my eye.

It will look like little dark spots that just randomly appear in your vision, which is caused by you seeing the shadow of little bits of crap floating around inside your eye juice. :smile:

I posted my hypotheses on this phenomenon here.

Has anybody here ever heard of the Ganzfeld Effect?

Check it out...
