Hmm, that's odd... That effect is caused from light diffraction when there is a small opening in between the light source and the destination (you can confirm this by looking at a lightbulb while keeping your eyes just barely open). Are you sure you're not just squinting all the time ? |

jmp, thanks for permission and additional info |

Dear Lucidbulbs, thank you for sending me your survey responses. Please have a look at this webpage where I have summarized your posts (of course, anonymously): http://www.migraine-aura.org/content.../index_en.html Is it right that you had the visual snow/static for as long as you can remember? Thanks, KP |

Haha well look at that, when I close my eyes I usually see nothing... literally pitch black, except for really dark smudges of colour. Think dark-neon? But this time, reading about visual snow and what not, I honestly saw sperm-like 'snow' in my right eye while closed. So cool xD |
|
I consider myself healthy, I have no history of drugs and a lot of people in my family are near-sighted. |
|
I get these and have done all my life. But as I get older (early 40s) they are getting worse. I put this down to time spent looking at a screen close-range. I don't do drugs and don't drink much. |

Hi people, new to Dream Views and lucid dreaming... I was instantly drawn to this post as i too have this visual distortion... Among other things... It is a symptom of HPPD (hallucinogenic persistent perception disorder) and if any of you have used hallucinogenic drugs in the past then they are probably what caused it... If you also suffer from other visual disturbances (tracers, negative/positive afterimages, pareidolias, geometric distortion, micropsia/macropsia, colour confusion) then it is more than likely that you have HPPD, a lot of helpful information, advice and support is available from this website. |

Oh yeah I especialy see a lot of static in the dark. |

When I dream, theres always a
little girl playing in the dirt, that
turns to me and says "Why are
you here? .... Are you blind like
me?"
What I've found
What I've known
Never shined to me what I've shown
Never be
Never free
I wish to see what might have been...
...So I talk to you unbeliever.
I walk in the rain. 1111
This thread reminded me of this Family guy reference |

I get that also, especially in the dark - i hate looking around in the dark, for some reason it bothers me and I don't like it. When I look at a clear blue sky i get it also. |

I have this all of the time, expecially in dark places, or when I am staring at a large white space. To me the snow looks transparent, although I can still see it. The best way I can describe it would be that it slightly resembles what hair, cells or skin looks like when under a microscope, and it constantly moves around. It *usually* doesn't interfere with my sight because they are, after all, see through. This is why I can only see them well on white walls or in dark places, because there is no background to hide them. |

Had to do some research on colour vision for a philosophy class recently and learned that 'floaters' (vague points of distortion that move around as the eye moves; more or less stay in the same spot in the visual field) are often times just bits of the fluid inside your eye that has become more gelatinous then regular, or has slightly crystalized. Floaters is an appropriate term since they correspond to something that actually is floating in the fluid of your eyeball. |

I think that there is a big difference with occasionally seeing 'floaters' (which I am sure everybody has experienced before) and this static vision (which sounds incredibly worrying imo) - I would go to the doctor's asap, personally. |
|
Well, in my case it is partially drug induced, but I clearly remember seeing visual snow as a toddler. In my opinion most people have some mild form of it (even if they haven't used drugs), but just don't recognize it. All of my friends see it... |
