Thread: Pulsating Ring of Light

Bet you can't guess what i see!
I see blue dots on a black background flying around and turning into spinning spirals, which also are blue, then it zooms out and they turn into even bigger spirals, zooms out, and even bigger spirals, and so on.

yeah same thing happens to me - realyy strange

The blue spirals or the pulsating white light?

I have a question before I try this. Are you moving your eyeballs to the edges of their sockets to view edges or are you talking about true peripheral vision which does not require moving the eyes?

Keep your eyes straight ahead, and just put your attention on your peripheral vision. I've found it's easiest to see around the top of my vision, so try focusing there.

When I close my eyes in the daytime I see darkness and light mixed together. I will try it again at night and pay attention to the periphery. At first I notice the eyes want to drift in the direction of concentration.

I see things when my eyes close too, but not exactly pulsating rings of light. I will look specifically for these, though.

Remember that your peripheral vision is more sensitive than your "tunnel" vision. This could be as simple as your peripheral vision is picking up light that the rest of your eyes aren't. The peripheral vision is shaped like a ring, maybe light always pulsates, but we rarely notice this with our desensitized tunnel vision.

I don't know why, but I'm sure that this perception is entirely internal. It's not like a diffuse glow, it is crisp and clear. Always the smae shape and shade of white. It almost seems that the longer you look at it, the wider it gets, and eventualy you can't see it anymore, unless you wait a few minutes before trying again. Wierd.
