Strange dream pheonomenom

[dangerousdave]

Whist having dreams i often focus my eyes off the dream. the dream will then go flat and blurry. I then notice a circular spinning motion. It happens quite regually, and seems to take me out of my dream. I am instead focusing on the visual field rather than being part of a dream. I sometimes see colourful patterns but it always appears flat / out of focus / unintersting. I then tend to drift back into a dream or awaken. Its something I seem to do consiously / automatically. When I awake i often see a black dot with spinning surrounding it, which drifts away within 30 seconds or a minute. In my waking life I have in the past tried meditation and at one time would quite often focus on a black dot, however now it appears during my sleep as I look for it, as I did in the past in my waking life. I was just wondering whether anyone had any similar experiences, im not really sure what effect it has on my sleep.

So have I. Wonder if it's to do with eye muscles somehow.

Yeah, yeah, it happens to me when I rub my eyes from after a dream. It most likely has to do with the eye muscles being agitated after rapid eye movement.

If so, it happens to me after some nights of sleep when trying to get breakfast. The black dot thing is like a black circle with a green/purple/red light surrounding it to me. It does nothing but block my vision temporarily.
