Answer 1

What you are seeing are eye floaters. It's very common and you're not going mad or hallucinating. Here is a link that will tell you more about it. Don't worry about it, most people see them at some time.

Answer 2

I heard that it had something to do with either blood pressure or the optic nerve. I would get anything checked out to be sure. Does it happen at a specific time or after activity? Like if you get up to quickly, run, go up a flight of stairs, or just wake up, when you are tired?

Sorry probably not much help, I get flashes that kinda move like a snake, that seem to be in a checkerboard way, but my doc says thats just the precursor to one of my migranes.

Best of luck to you

Answer 3

theyre called "floaters".they are from when ur eye is forming b4 birth,just little protein particles floating in the vitreous(or aqueous-one of the eyeball fluids,anyway.)most people see them.they are more visible as a person ages due to various changes in the eye,but some people,like myself,see them from childhood.i was 10 when i asked the eye dr about it and he explained and said not to worry.however,if u see flashes of bright,jagged or cascading lights,followed by headaches,that would be a "migraine aura>"if u bump or hurt urself,then see flashes of light,go to dr immediately,that could mean ur retinas are detaching!but from what u described,probly just floaters.
