what do you see if you close your eyes

I just posted a picture on my blog of what I see when I close my
eyes... I believe they are called phosphenes but there are few actual
pictures of the sight and mine is spot on with what I see

just interested in seeing if people see the same? or if people see
different things, please take a look and add a comment, or post here.

Boy, you are one fucked-up duck is all I can say. Get a life, please.

 

chill mate...

it's only a question

 

chill mate...

it's only a question, and a completely sincere one at that...

 

Doesn't look like phosphenes, which are more localized and have a
specific cause. What that pic shows looks more like background "noise".
I think most people see something other than pure black with their eyes
closed, and it is probably just random firing of axons along the visual
pathway. Nothing to worry about.

w.stacy, o.d.

 

I have for along, long time, seen channels of color - it looks like a
long tube down which I travel, and the orbs of color change - starts
small and come forward toward me (getting larger) and then disappears.
Then the next color develops, and so on. I can make myself see this
when I meditate or are on the brink of sleep - I started doing it for
amusement when I was a young child and can still do it today.
Initially, I think it was random firing of the axioms (?) but now I
have some control over it.

The weird thing is, now I have retina problem in one eye (idiopathic
CNV). I don't know if it's associated...?

could you draw it L?

I have a couple of people who are drawing me pictures of what they see
and emailing them to me...

I'm going to put up a few, side by side, to see what people see....

it's weird, but the image you see when you have your eyes closed is
probably the thing you see most of in your life, every night and
morning. yet we never seem to share it.

untill today I assumed everyone saw the same!!! I'd love to see some
pictures.

 

If it is a given fact that the visual cortex responds by seeing light
when it is being stimulated, it cannot be assumed that these light
appearances have anything to do with the eyes. If a tumor, cyst or
other growth was pressing on the visual cortex, a constant barrage of
light stimulus might be seen in the dark. We can't rule out the idea
of advising a CT scan and VER to see if there's abnormal physiology
here.

 

Hmmm. I'll have to give that one some thought.

Sounds really similar. I think mine have gotten smaller (and larger),
as well. I also see a lot of colors - blue, green, red, orange,
yellow. It is so serene and pleasurable.

Not really, it's moving. Imagine a train coming toward you in a tunnel
of darkeness, but the light is colored - it gets larger and larger and
eventually engulfs you/passes you. As it gets almost to you, another
color light is taking its place - then another, and another.

I also have the "shrinking light" vision the other poster mentioned.
See my other reply.

If anyone else posts here, or comments on the blog, could they please
tell me which country they're from

I posted to a mainly uk group, and almost everyone agreed with what i
see, yet the international groups seem to disagree...

seems strange but it's almost like people from different countries see
different things?!?!
