Is it odd to see colored shapes in the dark, or when I blink my eyes rapidly?

Question

I just casually brought this with my mom, thinking she would have no problem understanding what I saw and she couldn't relate to me in the least. Is this normal, and if not is it some type of classifiable disorder? Also, there is a kind of "static" that I see in the dark...almost like a mass amount of tiny light particles. Could this be attributed to anything?

Answer 1

your 'static' could be a sign of spirituality. I had that when i was a teen. Write me offline and I'll say more.

Answer 2

Not odd at all.

Its called Eigenlicht.....eye light.

here is para from link.

The general nature of this inward terrain can be described. The way to the hypnogogic state is to lie down and relax as though going to sleep. One might direct attention to the eigenlicht, the vague, half-apparent coloured lights and images seen with eyes closed. These are also called the entoptic or idioretinal lights. With concentration on them they can become clearer images. The patterns swirl, move, constantly change. With an intensity of inner awareness they can form into simple objects or geometric patterns, sometimes in complex over-all designs. One I've often seen is formed out of delicate fern leaves. If one awakens slowly from sleep one may be able to linger on half asleep, looking at a wholly formed scene. A common one for me is a shore line of city lights. These inner eigenlichts seem impossible to hold still. My guess is that the brilliantly coloured background imagery one may hallucinate under the drug LSD or other hallucinogens is simply an amplification of the normal eigenlicht. The meaning of the eigenlichts is quite unknown, since few people have examined them. My guess is that they too are autosymbolic of one's state. Seeing geometric patterns goes with a more analytical set. My own fern-leaf designs seem to go with a very peaceful languid state, the feeling suggested by ferns growing in shaded areas. The eigenlichts seem to be the bare beginning of inward self representation.

I guess its not persistent.It comes only when u blink rite.In that case nothing to worry.

I too see such wierd things when u do somethin like that.

sometimes u see small worm like things in the air flyin
All these are normal. if its seen in unusual cases like blinkin eyes continously.

But without u doin anythin unusual if its still there then there is somethin wrong.
