When I close my eyes I see darkness but if I rub my eyes I see a bright light. Why does it do this? I know its not just me cause I have talked to others and they say the same thing happens.

it's pressure and blood flow... this sensation of course you know soon fades...
the optical nerve fills with blood while you are pressing on it and that's what it looks like.. normally the blood circulation looks like swirling clouds in your eyes when the lids are shut.
:D

By closing your eyes and gently pressing your fingers against your eyelids, you will eventually experience a phenomenon called pressure phosphenes -- patterns of light that appear in geometric forms, such as exploding stars, spirals, honeycombs, cobwebs and tunnels.

yes and that is why you never put nothing but your elbow in your eye or ear.
