i can see this thread going down the tubes fast - but i had to ask :

do you ever close your eyes hard - and watch those weird patterns that swirl around in the dark ?

what the hell is that ? i wish i could control it, or remember it to capture in a drawing but i cant.

they arent even that random .. sometimes that are incredibly complex patterns ..


anyone else ever see this ?

I know what you mean it's like looking into one of those things that you spin and it makes a bunch of patterns...I have no idea what it is though.

a kaleidoscope :) (spelling ?)

it is like an optical illussion. kinda like those
spots you see if you get a little dizzy, those are called
floaters it has something to do with your eyes adjustment
to stuff. :)

yeah that's it, I have no idea how it's spelled.

does anyone elso notice that if they look really hard, sometimes they can see these blurry squigly lines floating downwards? and when you blink they go back up and start floating down again? turns out that those are tiny peices of hair and dust.

You've all seen "From Beyond".What your seeing are creatures that live in sort of a parallel universe.Sometimes if you squint....you can see them...but....THEN THEY CAN SEE YOU.

if we could only figure out how to eat them ... unlimited food supply

I get two things that happen kinda like this.

1- if I close my eyes, within the "darkness" I see various colours in a nondescript "pattern", it kinda covers everything...I'll see different colours, and this is gonna sound NUTS, but I can think about a particular colour, and it will "appear" as part, or all of this pattern.

2- When my eyes are open, sometimes I see what you might think was very small particles of dust/dirt...etc, but I also see something else...for some reason, especially when I'm looking out into a clear blue sky, (I think the colour blue just works as a better "background" so to speak.) but pretty much wherever I look, I see what looks like thousands and thousands of little tiny moving things, they literally cover everything. They look and move somewhat like TINY little particles of electricity but not very bright, each moving indepedantly, in very fast, erratic patterns.
It's strange.

thats the thing i'm talking about
