I was just going to sleep like normal, I think I was fairly close to actually nodding off, when under my eyelids these pulsing white lights started. My eyes were closed and stuff yet it was like this bright white light started pulsing on and off. After a few seconds I opened my eyes to see if someone was flashing light in my face or something, but there wasn't as far as I know, and also the flashing light was still visible slightly while my eyes were open. I closed my eyes again and the flashing lasted another few second, so it was between 5 and 10 seconds in all. Now I think about it I am undermining myself by thinking it may have been my brother shining light in my face or something, but I'm pretty sure that it was HI. With my limited knowledge of HI and WILD related stuff though, I thought that HI only happened after you had gone to sleep the first time and were going back after waking up like in a WILD or WBTB. Hopefully someone knows whats happening :).
