Interesting. Mine do not scare me though. They fascinate me really. I guess I want them to be something more than just hallucinations. Destroy all that is evil, so what is good may flourish.

I also see on occasion very fast flashes of unknown faces. I don't watch tv, so it's not a replay of that. This is all for a very brief time, like maybe 15 or 30 seconds before I fall asleep. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1492996 United States 01/29/2013 10:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Odd to see this. Past few weeks, I've noticed when I go to bed, lights out, eyes closed, I've occassionally seen a "white flash" -- It kinda started at left side, got bright, moved to the right real fast, then disappeared. Sometimes when you lay down and close your eyes, they can still be open, just a tiny little slit. Sometimes, I notice my little orange light on the dimmer switch and it makes a "streak" in my vision, but I realize "Oh, my stupid eye is still open a little" then I close it and the orange light (and future streaks) disappears. With this white flash, I thought to myself, "Oh, stupid! Your freakin' eye is open again!" so I close and squint my eyes more, only to realize, they weren't open in the slightest. I just think, "Oh wow, white flashes in the black.. Wonder what the pineal gland is receiving in the airwaves?" Still unknown. I keep expecting it to shape up into some form or something, I dunno -- just keeping an open mind about the whole thing... ..or I'm just having a minor brain aneurysm and will stroke out and die in a few weeks... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29804770 United States 01/29/2013 10:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've always considered them the counter to the moving dark streaks or shadows. The lights come in a variety similar to the shadows. You have the pulsing or flashing lights and the little mufti-colored/translucent orbs that seem to float around like flying bubbles. As I tend to see most around the same time myself. Personally I hop between them being optical/mental hallucinations to being spiritual entities. It's a tuff call because when ever I'm certain they are just hallucinations something happens to get to me to question that so I'm left at square one again. I just keep telling myself it's not real and it keeps trying to convince me it is. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 33263760 United Kingdom 01/29/2013 10:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So for the past month or so once I get in bed, shut off the lights, close my eyes and go to bed I've been seeing bright, intense flashes of light . A few things first. I have black out curtains so no light is coming in from the outside. Also, I am blind in my right eye. I was shot when I was 16 and severed my optic nerve. But I am seeing the bursts of light from both my left and right eyes. Sometimes they are small round lights that grow and explode like a firework, other times they are streaks of light like lightning. Weird shit.

Quoting: AmericanInfidel Get a cheap Geiger counter and check to see if the area where you're sleeping has any unusually high radiation levels. They're fairly cheap to get online, you don't need nothing fancy. Are you living near any power station or newly built power facility of any sort? Hearing any un-explained cracks or "pop" like sounds at anytime? If you have a tape recorder of any kind record in the area for a set amount of time then playback the recording for any of these sounds or other unexplainable sounds and don't scare yourself because it could be entirely atmospheric what you're experiencing, not a boogeyman as many people often think. Is your home or building well electrically grounded? Do you know?

If schitzo or any other analysis was the case, you would experience said ailment more often than the minutes before you fall asleep. Focus in on them, I have had them on and off every night now for almost a month. The colors can vary and most of the time it has a pattern or shape to it.
