benos Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 I've been doing it for so long... I forgot one little detail. Close your eyes real tight, (the part I forgot) look upward as high as you can, then quickly open your eyes. And you'll see the weirdness before your eyes are opened. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw little white dots, like stars in the night sky. They were moving in a circular pattern. Oh, I was standing up and got dizzy, you didn't warn me about that.

ahtsay Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I see "atoms"(for a lack of a better term) zipping in different directions....I'm not sure what I'm seeing though Could it be that my my eyes are "seeing" the impulse of my blood zipping by the tiny veins in my eyes?

The Antichrome Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I see a faint double image, a side by side effect. Then the 2 images converge into one, sliding together to meet in the middle. I'm calling it the 'Viewmaster Effect' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 You guys are seeing some crazy stuff! What I see lasts for maybe a tenth of a second. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvb Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) I often see what looks like the enso in your avatar, only negative (bright white ring, black everything else). doesn't just happen when i first wake up, but often when really tired before going to bed (an insomniac who is often up way too late). and it's more than a couple tenths of a second... but several seconds... -rvb Edited October 20, 2010 by rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amerflyer48 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I would best be able to describe it as seeing my retinas,well actually the blood vessels, or a ghost image thereof.. pretty freaky,.. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Rust Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 My eyes seem to rotate a bit to my left and then lock on to the normal orientation . It feels pretty neat. I'm pretty sure it's not a tumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 I drew and scanned a rough image of what I see. I'll post when the months over, and we'll see if it really only happens to me. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Okay, it is my feeling that no one accurately described what I see. So maybe I'm the only one that sees it. If that's the case I'm sorry to have wasted your time on this. But on the flip side, at the least I may have got you to start out the day by paying attention and thereby delaying the thought train the normally comes rushing in. The colors in the attached image are the reverse of what I see. In other words, for what I see, the lines are white and the backrground is black. And again, it only last for a split second, occurring after I squeeze my eyes shut real tight, then I see it as I quickly open them, but before they are actually open. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I like the eye worms comment. and I believe there was a walrus character named chumley(?) who had a mustache like the drawing... I can't see the mustache... I did see the diamond shaped stars, however. Also, The swirls on occasion. Being able to see something in that brief a time frame may be part of why no one else is seeing it. I tried with a white wall and a black board. The stars move a little Do the mustache lines move ?

That's what I remember the walrus cartoon. So now I can form a profesional, medical opinion based on that fact alone. Brian only sees the image after listening to too much "Beatles" music the night before. Personally I didn't try to duplicate this but it would obviuosly would not have worked for me as I don't care much for the Beatles. So I prescribe one week of a steady diet of something else like queensryche tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddler Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) Ok, here is my hypothesis. None of us actually "see" any of these things. There is nothing there to see, at least nothing like anyone has reported. What we are getting is a stimulus to the optic nerves that does not come from vision. Try this: close your eyes and place the heels of your palms against them and press, firmly but gently. When I do this, in a few seconds I "see" blue sparks or lightning or checks or something like that. I think the pressure stimulates the optic nerve but since there is no vision, the mind makes something up. I don't know if there is a name for this. "Chumleys" would work.

I don't see it long enough to tell if any of the lines move. It appears just for a spit second, as you are looking upward, just as the eyes begin to open but have not yet opened. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, what I'd call that there is a second medical opinion confirming the first. I think with some help maybe some one in California could find Granny's (Beverly Hillbillys) shingle in a old warehouse,hang it out and open up shop.
