What do you see when you turn out the light?
-
Serious question. When I close my eyes in a dark room, I don't see just black. I see millions of tiny multicoloured speckles on a background of black and nearly-black-with-a-hint-of-blue, which is not static, but rather moves slowly (reminds me of a rather gothic lava lamp) I'm not talking after-images here. (it is difficult to describe) When speaking to other people, and asking what they see, most say "Black", "Nothing", or "I can't tell you, but I know it's mine." I asked my 5-year-old what he sees, and from what he describes, it's similar to what I see. So - are we a family of freaks? (relevant comments please!!!) or is this a glimpse of some mystical gateway? or is this what everyone sees?

You are probably lucid dreaming. I actually manipulate my images to go to sleep faster when I am trying to take my narco nap during my lunch hour. Take a look at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-eye_hallucination[^]

What do you see when you turn out the light? I see things you wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. That, or more usually a giant pink elephant appears reminding me that I've drunk too much. Again.

I also see multi-colored specks that spin and twirl but then again it could be flash backs from all the acid in the 60's and early 70's! Just an old hippy don't know what to do get out of the old or into the new? Mike

You're actually seeing quantum foam[^] - the creation and anihilation of millions of sub-atomic particles within Planck time.

Jupiter has only 1/1000 mass of the Sun, so if your theory works we should have at least 5000 jupiters orbiting around our star which is negligible compared to giant stars with 2000 solar radii.

As long as there's quantum beer under that foam, I'm okay with it.

Erm, no. I get the sparkly bits, but often much more. There're meteoric streaks of brightly colored light, mostly white and gold. There're faces of people, known and unknown, that appear and disappear randomly. I see occasionally a point of light, as if at the end of a tunnel, that expands then fades before I see the end. Often I see circuit diagrams that are tantalizingly clear, yet not quite clear enough to write down, performing functions I don't understand fully. Once in a while there are ninjas leaping from the curtains, but they are usually anihilated by Angelina Jolie before she takes a shower with me. And then there's the rabbits...

I see all that jazz - and sometimes if you try to keep your self just awake enough to "keep watching" - you'll be semi-conscious and go into dream mode! I've done this and those "anomallies" you are talking about actually "feed" or "seed" my first dream images... its really cool if you ask me. --Jason
