Re: Right there but never seen: pointless eye trick

hey, thats actually a good way to test if its in your eye or outside.

personally, i KNOW i have shit floating around in my eye, i see "threads" floating around all the time, and they bounce with my eye movement.

but, BESIDES that, i have seen other things in my vision that didnt seem to be a part of my eye. such as small "dots" firing off in directions (similar to when u are dizzy / "got the lights knocked out" "seeing stars")

like athurian said ,some of it seems to be/feel like energy.

Re: Right there but never seen: pointless eye trick

Hi ever' body smile

Just wanted to add my experiences with these "unknown" floating thingys. First, I have floaters sometimes. Know what they are and an optometrist I once asked about them explained them to my satisfaction. No biggy.

But only last year, summer time, I was laying on the deck in the full sun around dinner time, and for the first time saw those unknown thingys. They looked like pairs of sperm to me, so I described them to my son and husband as sperm-like. They were always in pairs and seemed to be thousands of them.

[In fact, right now, inside on a dull day, I think I can see them now, staring at a blank wall. Can't make them out clearly, but a slight visual sense of them is there.]

Coupla' days later, in the same place, doing the same thing, my husband reported seeing them. Ok, coincidence now?

Then about a week after that, my son, same place, had the same occurence. It happened again to me about another week later.

Just the other day, hot and sunny, clear sky, same place, mid-afternoon, they "reappeared" to me.

Seem to me to be some kind of electrical impulses. But they are decidedly sperm-like in appearance.

Don't think it's circulation related either (which was an initial thought of mine) since there are too many differences among the three of us. For example: age, sex, weight, physical fitness (son is an amateur athlete, exercises daily; hub exercises on a semi-regular basis, I rarely exercise. Ok, never. ). Also I smoke and they don't. Big age diffs too: 49, 36, 20. So something decidedly different is occuring/appearing to all three of us.

Btw, none of us takes any drugs, or uses any vitamin supplements.

And my biggest question beyond just what those things are, is why NOW?

Re: Right there but never seen: pointless eye trick

I didn't notice them until last year too

Re: Right there but never seen: pointless eye trick

With regard to looking into the sun and seeing otherwhiches big_smile --

A number of y'all have described the "floaty things" as sperm-like. For me what I see looks like fossils. They look like tiny fossils that have been released from rock and are floating up and onward... that's just how I've understood them smile . I've seen this for as long as I've looked into the sun, since I was a kid... if I have so chosen to focus my eyes that way. Iriana has described the way the fossil particles appear to a tee though--

They were transparent but visible, the outline of them being most prominent.

Actually, if you go to this web page and look at the fossils that are in the top left USGS box, these are exactly the things I see when I focus my vision to see two different fields when my eyes are to the sun, though not all clumped together like they're depicted--

http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/fossils/succession.html

As well I also see little Seahorse fossils. There's not ever a preponderance of any of the fossils. Usually there's I'd say 5-10 of them in my field of vision.

There have been times when I was ill or overly tired and stood up too fast, and I'd see the little spermie squiggly electric thing-a-mah-gigs on the outside periperal of my vision, and lots of them, but these and the fossils are very much two different things.

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

Here is a good article supporting the idea that these are white blood cells and are normal.

And also, take a look at this one for evidence, convincing or no?

Re: Right there but never seen: pointless eye trick

I have extremely bad vision, and am forced to wear glasses all the time, I too see these dots, it also seems like static to me.
An interesting phenomena which occurs is early in the morning, when I wake up, and I am suddenly forced into a bright light, while everything is still dark outside, when I close one eye, I can see these crazy fast moving white organisms/things it is pretty suprising to see all these things in my eyes. Also one time, when I had my eyes closed, I opened it, and every single thing had a green hue, it was as though I was looking at the world through a green piece of glass, and it was very surreal.

But what's also really weird is when I try to "listen" to silence when I meditate, I will hear something akin to static, and that along with the static in my eye makes for a very weird occurance.
