Saw small lights(10-20) spinning/moving around my head. Any idea what they could be/mean?

Question

They were moving in different directions, very tiny -yet close proxiemity to me.
Clear and in focus, no physical objects that could explain what they were.
Seen them for 1-2 mins and then they were gone.
I don't believe in ghosts or supernatural stuff but interested in any serious possible explinations

Answer 1

Did you bang your head? Ucould have been "seeing stars" like in cartoons, only it does actually happen in the real world too.

Answer 2

usually i believe in many things and strongly believe in supernatural explanations, but this sounds to me like a drop in blood pressure.
everytime my blood pressure is low and i bend over to pick something up, or i get up to fast, i see silvery lights dancing around me. a lot of people just feel dizzy, but many also see those "things". i don`t know if the nerves are directly affected, or if the brain just has a hickup in processing...
it usually goes away after a couple of seconds (or minutes - depending on how bad it is)

although it`s really hard to say what it is without knowing the exact circumstances...

just my $ 0.02

Answer 3

I have had similar experiences. Mine look sort of like worms that are lit on 1 end and dark on the other. I believe it's caused by blood pressure changes that affect the nerves in your eyes.

Answer 4

I get that sometimes, but they are shadows that look like nerves or cells you see under a microscope. I suspected i was seeing stuff behind my eye.

Answer 5

did you have a headache afterwards?
because if you did, it might be an aura. an aura is some sort of visual phenomenon that precedes (although not always, it depends on the type) migraine.

Answer 6

put the pipe down and step away from the drugs

Answer 7

no idea
