Brainscapes ..
 

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

Well, if it's the same thing, you probably can't memorise it because it's constantly changing form and colour, and it's not like you're even viewing it in front of you, it's like you're inside it...

As for wishing you could control it, try focussing your thoughts on a colour, all I can suggest...dunno if it does any more'n that....and then again, it could just work for me...?

i just cant get over how complex but organized the patterns are ...other times its like paisley on acid ..

Maybe you're all just fuckin' crazy.

thats a prerequisite for being on this forum !

I don't know what those patterns are, but I think they are a form of electrical background noise that your eyes send to your brain. I think that background noise is always there, but it's more visible when you close your eyes because you're cutting off a lot of light. When you open your eyes, they get busy processing the stronger incoming light patterns, and those override the background noise. Just a theory.

I see these patterns from time to time, but one time while working out on a heavy punching bag, I threw a left punch and a sharp pain stabbed me in the neck...and all I could see was total blackness with those little swirlly bright spots for around 60 seconds or so.

Thats what you get for punching a defensless bag.

wtf....damn...I'm in a stupid mood today.

Well, I tried using the Sai and Katana on it but my Sensei didn't like it.

shine a hologen torch in your eyes for a few seconds, then turn the room lights out... it makes your eyes see weird things.

Your all going fucking crazy... :D


I have had the little sparkly bits.. That gives me a headache.

Re: Brainscapes ..
 

I get that all the time...when I was a kid I'd lye in bed, and just watch it

thats what the mirror told me this morning when I was vacuuming me teeth.

Hahahaha...good lord:D

HEY NOW! Nose hairs may hum and eyebows may sing, but ice cream ain't got no bones! So there! Put that in your smoke and pipe it! We are not all fuckin' crazy! Shhhhhhh, my bandaid is talking to me.


:D

if you focus and keep looking at the same spot they will stay stationary. You controll your flashbacks

I didn't think to even take control of these suckers hehe.. I thought they had a mind of there own.



..."vacuuming me teeth"... hahaha. Ok its official. Your the mad one..

owww you're soooo yesterday missy, thats been known for some time now... madness is the 'in' fashion right now, it's all the rage.

Yep. you're all fucking crazy. However, at least you don't hear voices like me.

my voices tell me what to type, I tell them to stop, but they shout louder and louder everytime I try to press the delete key... they control my keyboard

When I was a kid, I asked my eye doctor 'bout those...he looked at me like I had three heads.

I get the same thing when I look at the clear blue sky, I think it may be something to do with the blood running thru the retina but am not sure.

I also have night vision, it is to the point where I can almost see in total darkness, my boy has it also. Light bothers my eyes, and his 2 he runs around and shuts lights off in the house.

I bought a pair of sunglasses that I almost never take off until almost total darkness outside.

Its probably some evolutionary thing, either that or I am slowly becoming a vampyre.:D

i always say the same thing .. i have to wear sunglasses on overcast days - i always have to have spare glasses in the car in case i lose or break a pair.

Add that to the fact that i have a weird blood disorder .. and who knows ..

All I see is red.

cool, now see your full mailbox :)

well, atleast I know what the maximum pm limit is now. It's clean now. :cool:
