Topic: Quickflash

[Muffin]

There's anew thing.
I observed it a few months ago, very seldom at the beginning.
I started to see white flashes in the most unexpected moments. At first they very very short, and very rare. They would happen once in two three weeks. Then they became more often, up until 2-3 per week.
The flashes appear like white dots ... and they are dots - with no spatial dimensions. At least so they seem.
And they are not part of the landscape either  . Ever looked an old movie, where there are scraches on the film, and you can see that they are not part of the movie? The sensation is similar.
These flashing dots (there's only one at a time) are like they are on my retina. At first I didn't give too much importance, except aknowledge it. They were too short, just a fragment of a second, most of the time I wasn't even sure I actually saw something.
But they are becoming more consistent. They started to move. The flashes are longer and move. It's been a few months that I'm observing this, as they grow in intensity and duration.

Today, it happened again, this time with an amazing clarity - though the sensation of the illusion it's still there.
I saw on my left side of my view, moving all to the right side in a fraction of the second. I did not try to focus on it, that always makes it disappear. Instead I saw this white dot like a streak passing through my view. Almost like a falling star. And then, while I was completely still with body and eyes, I had a distinct vision of this white dot disappearing in my right arm, at the height of the biceps. That was completely new, and I left there for a good amount of minutes pondering what just happened, unable to actually produce any healthy thought.
I haven't felt anything physically, it was just the intensity if the "flash" that kept me in awe.


I think I should go to do a check-up on my eyes, maybe my sight  is weakening due to too much computer screen

Hey Rudi, not meaning to "diagnose" or anything, but what you're describing sure reminds me of the visual aura which comes pre-migraine. They call it the prodromal syndrome of migraines.

Mine don't come in dots, but in filaments--- like the filament in a lightbulb. The peripheral vision gets affected.  It comes to different folks different ways.
Luckily, I haven't had the "pain" part since I was 18. But the aura-thing happens maybe 2 or 3 times a year  Sometimes it's bright, indirect light kicking it off, sometimes it's stress.

Too much computer could influence vision (in general) for sure.
The eye exam sounds like a good idea!

Yes this is a known eye thing, tho seems to have different variations - i get thousands of them, tiny ones like sperm wriggling all over my vision. But only occassionally, like when sky gazing.

good idea to check you eyes out, just be carefull they don't sell you expensive unnecessary stuff - my dentist the other day recommended a $15,000 treatment... 10 gold caps etc. I changing dentists.

but there are dangerous eye conditions that can be checked if caught early, so you just need to satisfgy you don't have that, which i strongly doubt - the nasty ones are where a small black spot appears in the centre of your vision, and slowly grows over time, till its all black.

lol, now you're freaking me out
I was kinda joking about the eye check... 
sheesh, now I can't rest until I do it 

This reminds me, I did a check(just for the heck of it) like a year ago and they said that I have nothing wrong with my sight. But that was just a quick test, that took 5 seconds with some strange machine. A free one.

I know what you're talking about. I see those too from time to time. It's not the same as Lor is talking about the squiggly light things, but the pinholes of light which pop in and out, like little stars. It's different. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm sure there's some reasonable explanation for it. They're pretty though

[Muffin]

For a while I haven't seen them at all.
Now I restarted working at my secondary work place, and just in a couple of hours I saw more then 4 times. Now the last one was in front of me, and moving towards my third eye zone, then disappeared.
Maybe the lightning conditions here give this effect (I'm in a clinic so everything's white-ish, and sunlit), but it's just so weird to see those dots again. They are like worms in the air.

I get these exactly, I can remember as a child trying to explain it to my mother and she had no idea what it was.. had my eyes checked and all is fine...

There is a similar site for me in the first layer of looking at thing's, a sqirming energy that seems to be the energy coming off the object or person before any color like aura is seen.

I had come to think perhaps the above seen in sky gazing is perhaps some sort of energy..

Best of luck in the eye exam Rudi!

[Muffin]

Yeah, sometimes watching at the blue sky I get similar things, but easier to see. That one never disturbed me.
But now I'm sitting in a room watching the monitor and I catch these flashes with the corner of my eye. They are like tiny intruders that slip out of the sight as soon I see them. 

[Tiamat]

Haha Rudi, I remember that fast eye-check u had I recommended it !! heh
Anyway, the white dots u see are in the retina and are pieces of protein....( That's what THEY say )..
I see dots, kinda sperm forms and long filaments..... Other time i see a circle with other concentrical circles inside...Time ago i contacted a chimic professor and he told me was normal seeing dots and filaments but about the circle he said: well...that's strange... 

[TIOTIT]

Interesting....I have observed this phenomena since my teens...at first I thought it may be
some kind of parasite...but after some inquiry found it was a build up of waste matter in the eye...proteins an such...here's the interesting bit...a friend of mine told me just yesterday
they are doing a saltwater cleanse and one of the benefits is the removal of that type of
accumulated debris from the fluid in the eye...

This is from the literature they gave me....

The initial regime of the saline electrolyte process experiences cleansing of the lymphatic system of glands, organs, and muscles of the body ... and those of the five senses.

Throughout the process, the body will reacquire cleansing domination over all the endocrine glands eliminating toxins and bugs. Excess toxic nitrogenous, carbonaceous, and sulphurous (amongst many more) gasses are removed from the body through breath, or dissolution through urination, fecal elimination, ... and also pure gas to gas elimination ... flatus.

The five senses become cleaner and cleansed. Tear ducts become cleansed when naturally occurring saline tears appear in the eyes (without pre occurring emotional conditions). Ear wax and oils become dissolved an clearer hearing becomes noticed.

Washing to the optical system can yield clearer;cleaner sight from removed excess translucent gunk within the eyes. The potential for removal of cataracts can happen through this process.

Phlegm, shot, mucous, is dissolved down to free;flowing fluids. Sinuses are dried up and proper sinus properties of preventing inhaled contaminants from causing disease are maintained. Some massive movements of nasal and lung congestion mucous, coughing, and clearing of snot can be noticed leaving vastly improved smell and breathing capacity within the sinuses.

Well, I don't complain about my sight, but anything that can help me see clearer ... I'll take it.
