... (but you are awake) do you generally have visual experience, or not? And if you do, what is that experience like?
I've been polling my acquaintances. Post your reflections in a reply (ornery responses welcomed). I'd encourage you to settle on your own response before reading the responses of others.
Next week, I'll work up a little post on the results and why I care.
Thanks for being my victims, I mean, um, participant-collaborators!

When Your Eyes Are Closed...

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 551 of 551It usually starts when I first close my eyes I look into the darkness of my eyelids and lighter colors start coming in then I get scenery so vivid that I can picture what my room would look like if my eyes were open like I can move my hand then my hand would move in what I am imagining
It's the opening of your "3rd Eye".. it's an amazing experience but I would suggest reading about it (think chakra). It will put you at ease.
I understand you all.
Yes, I too see people. Very detailed faces and clothing. How can my mind create such things without ever having seen them? Its as if they are real and actually exist...or existed at some point in life. Styles of clothing differ in that they are from various eras. I'm beginning to wonder if they are people who once lived or people on another dimension or something. I know that sounds a bit crazy...but so is the human mind lol
Whenever I shut my eyes I see a door and someone opens it up and walks towards me but I open my eyes before it gets close
I've been seeing unknown beautiful faces and places I've never known or been ever respectively as I drift off to fall asleep since 7 months . Also I feel slight tremors while the faces and images begin to flash. I remain fully conscious. I never get scared by those images. I also more often get dreams of my deceased relative (more often the one who was an ardent devotee of lord shiva) and also of Hindu God Shiva's Shivalinga form .Then those faces vanish and so as my tremors. I happened to be very religious earlier. But I'm no more that religious. I used to meditate and was into spirituality earlier but I stopped everything . Still I see those faces at the centre of my forehead .
I'm unable to decipher the reason for this. Please help with the causes. I don't feel any sleep disorders. My sleep schedules are perfect .
The same thing happens to me ..i see the universe and stars and am being pulled towards them
Hi, i am having exactly same visions like someone getting out of the chair, and someone turni g his face towards me, and some ine looming at me with no expressions
James Black said...About once a week I experience a waking-hallucination. At first,a year or so ago,it concerned me. Now, not so much. In fact, I have fun with it. I am awake enough to realize that it IS a waking-hallucination. I do not have going-to-sleep ones and I do not notice colors or patterns as most others reporting do. I can see these at any time, anywhere simply by closing my eyes and waiting for the curtain to open...entertaining. Back to my waking-h's...I even attempt to ask them to do something (I like to control if I can). At times it does and at times it has a "mind of it's own" (ironically). I have caught my self reaching out to touch or grasp it in a deeper waking-up mode and, it disappears! I feel stupid at that point and wake more to realize it "got me" this time. More recently, I know what is going on enough to know what is going on and attempt to "play" with it before fully awaking. Sometimes, I simply way and see what it presents and, knowing it is a hallucination, simply wait to be entertained. As the saying goes, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste". As such, I simply let it entertain me.
This happen to me yesterday first time ever that is why I am looking for an explanation..I closed my eyes it was dark at first then a bright white light appeared and became brighter even sparkling then it seemed that a door or the white seem to part with even a more beautiful white sparkling light.It then ended.
I am 13 Years old Teen and I don't draw, not interested in art that much. My bathroom is simple, it has a bathtub with a small covered window beside it(Light can still go through) and whenever I go take a shower, when I put my whole body under the water, sing a song and starting to feel it. Some random images starting to appear, It ussually happens when I cover my ears and put my head down so I can hear the water my clear when it falls on my head, random images appears and it changes so fast from time to time(only when I close my eyes)that's why I open my eyes and end up remembering just one or two images, they are always non-sense images that have nothing to do with my life, and when I look down with my eyes closed it get dark so black images start to appear and changes in like 1 second at a time(1 Image per second)and ussually the black images are dark, like sometimes things appear like killing, assassins and some of this sort, when I look at the window with my eyes closed it shifts to a white and bright things like ocean, nature and other weird things. When I open my eyes, it all stops, no sound appear or any video-like appears, just images the changes in a second and shifts it's brightness depends on where I look, I feel like I have a problem though...
The SAME THING HAPPENS TO ME! When I close my eyes while taking a shower I feel like the bathtub shrinks and grow bigger and I fear that sometimes I feel like this is the actual size and I fall of...
This just happened to me and I googled it and it got me here I was closing my eyes and it look like I was watching a television but a television while in front of me and what I was watching on television before I close my eyes that wasn’t the same thing
when i close my eyes, i just think about school the next day and my friends but i cant really imagine it because the people im thinking about randomly look weird. their eyes turn big or their heads get super tiny so i cant see them or like ill thin about a building but i cant because the building becomes very small. i think this might be normal but idk.
This actually just happened, that is why I reach here..
The image an seeing is like a reflection of my own eye. Black (dark) and white around (light) with line like little vain in the white (light) part.
Sometimes I just see the black and white fog, burst of white here and there. Sometimes I can make out something like a butterfly flapping if I put my mind to it. But that's just imagination. Other times I see in color, a face changing like a kaleidoscope, Happy (like the Jokers smile) to sad. Or just images/shapes changing kaleidoscope like still in color. This is all while I'm still awake before I fall asleep.
At night, with a eye mask on, non-euclidian shapes drifted in grays and dark grays on the inside of my eyelids. This morning while waking, a white slowly spinning spiral, right of center, against a filed of drifting non-euclidian objects in dark grays appeared. It remained for a few seconds but as my conscious mind awakened and tried to retain the image is faded quickly and disappeared.
I have had a similar experience years ago when, in my youth, I sat in front of a white wall, about 18-20 inches away and struggled mildly to focus on one spot in the field of white in front of me. Within 45 to 60 seconds, images began to form on the wall, or rather, were projected on the wall as sensory deprivation seemed to begin and my stored memories formed in free flowing vague but familiar images in my field of vision. Perhaps something similar occurs during sleep process and waking; the inside of the eyelids become the field upon which memory images form.
"One may see to the core of reality, while another sees merely the surface.
Yet core and surface are essentially the same, words making them seem different.
If word be needed to name them, wonder names them both
And from wonder unto wonder existence opens."

ONE time, I went to bed in my pitch black room. Closed my eyes and the room was filled with extreme white light. Opened my eyes, pitch black room. Closed them again, extreme white light. While this was annoying, I needed to get to sleep so I decided to lay there in the super bright white light. Maybe it would fade away?? Nope. As I looked into this extremely bright white room, I saw off in the distance what appeared to be a group of 30-40 people, slowly walking closer. As the group moved closer, I could see that they were only black figures and not actual people. Sort of an alien-being look. The group stopped while some distance away. Only 1 figure moved closer and closer to me. They had no distinguishing features, only a black figure. He extended his arm and motioned for me to come, using 1 finger. I didn't hear any sounds, but I KNEW what was being said. He said "come with us, we want to show you something". Repeating several times "come with us, we want to show you what's here". But I said back to them (in my mind's voice, not out loud) "No, I don't want to die. NO I'm not ready to go". With that, he returned to the group of figure people, and they retreated away, smaller and smaller until they were gone. Then the room finally went pitch black dark.
Now I've discussed this with a few people, but I want to know what YOU think about all of this. The incident occurred in early 2006 and I'm typing this in Jan 2019. But the event is a vivid as can be. What do you think? You can contact me at BobHuff08@gmail.com

When i close my eyes i see a tunnel i go into a very high speed. I open my eyes its still there. I can see it with my eyes closed and open. At the end of the tunnel i always get a smokey light slowly getting bigger and brighter. It takes a lot of energy for me to concentrate to gey into the tunnel. When im tired its difficult to go im the tunnel...
I've just recently opened up about this to my girl friend. I had a dream I would meet her and the very next day I was shopping and ran into her also shopping. We started at each as we were in shock, not believing our eyes. We knew we seen each other in a dream. Come to find out we both have empath abilities and with me after alot of studying realize I can project myself and see ppl. Far off. She was in another state and I wanted to put this to a test. I closed my eyes and thought of her, feeling here essence. I could see her but parts were blurry, I seen what color she was wearing and that she was laying on a couch.. I put my hand on her shoulder and said hey babe I'm gonna call you.. this was my vision. So I opened my eyes and called her, she answered right away and said what took u so long. We both laughed about my flight back to the house, then I said I likd your grey sweats. She jumped and thought I had surprised her by showing up.. but I didnt.. this is when we found out and it made our relationship so much stronger..
Wow, I'm so excited to see this article and the comments. I have always seen the "color explosions" when I close my eyes at night. I have mentioned to my husband that I have never really seen black, because there is always some color or static going on in the background. I am so glad it is not just me.
I find the colors relaxing and beautiful, like my own personal fireworks display. The colors I see are soft and they either start from the outside and implode in on each other, or start as small soft shapes and explode and fade to the outside. I have in recent years, learned to control what colors I see, but mostly, I just let them happen and enjoy. Very soothing.
I close my own eyes and roll them back into my head, and I see what looks to be another pair of eyes. These eyes, they are without irises, they are sclera and pupil. Or that's what I see at least. It's frightening, and I feel dread come upon me when I see it. Why is this something that occurs to me? They stay hardly out of my view when I roll my eyes back like this, they're hiding from me, why?
Ive found when coming off of meth these visions are most prevalent with varying intensities or clearness an emotional responses. Mostly happening at night i saw one the other day around noon in a reflection of my leg in the dash. It was a face of someone i dony know a white man brown hair an bright yellow eyes i looked closer at it being only visible when the light hit it at a certain angle an the face being somewhere it shouldnt be. I threatened it and assured it i was talking to it an i see it clearly the eyes darted down an it dissapeared. Ive seen outlines of people that appeared to be made of fog shadows of people at night. Bodies would vividly appear an move under the cover of blankets or the space in between spaces. Its weird but all of it goes away after you stop doing the drug. Might be sleep deprivation mental states triggered by the drug various beliefs an outside influences which create these images the brain tries to make patterns they are hardwired too so it always tries to make sense of the senseless connecting dots that may not be connected or maybe its all real an the vail is lifted ever so slightly during this changed perseption of reality. Hard to tell interesting as it maybe its exhausting an utterly fruitless so i recommend not trying to figure it out.
Wow, the thread is longer than I expected! I think this page contains hypnogogia, clairvoyance, hallucination, phosphene and many unknown category.
I began seeing things, and I thought it could be brain doing its thing. The first time I realized it wasn't my imagination was kaleidoscope. It was very clear and detailed. I want to draw what I see, but I couldn't do it with my eyes closed LOL. Eventually, I see different visions: people's unknown face and faded demons - which disturb me when I'm trying to sleep. Recently, when I close my eye, I could see the image I never see before. It looks like I was in someone else's eye. I don't remember the previous visions... Another vision was blueprint of the "keyboard" and "map" which is neither but it's important. There are words on the top right of the blueprint in different language in German maybe? Sometimes, I see things or places, but I don't know why I see them.
Another one was maybe my past life????? When I was 4ish years old, I saw "me in first POV" was looking at the person in the lab experiment room, she was suffering. "I" was coldhearted and serious, and that person is the doctor man.
I have too many to say, but I never seen red thing or some entities... I believe y'all tho. We're weird. I'm happy I'm not the only one.
I dont really know how to explain this but I see these flashes sometimes like of images of this guy every time I see this guy it feels like there is a connection like me and him are connected sometimes like I can see threw his eyes and he can see threw mine kind of connection i know this might sound crazy but what i am saying is true the first time I started seeing this guy in my image flash it was just of his eyes they where so focused so determined but I saw alot about him threw just looking at his eyes then I started seeing flashes of the rest of him he is tall with black hair he has a build on him but every time I see him it's like he is close but keeping his distance like if he is watching me from afar he is either in fog or in the dark with barely any moon light shining on him even when I am not seeing those flashes I still can feel his presences when I am walking alone outside at night or during the day when its rainy and gloomy I dont know what it is but what ever it is the connection is very strong

I am a 13 year old kid who want to seek answers. So when i was about 8 I travel to a world that i never seen before but when I open my eyes i wasn't there so when i stood up I walk around the house with my eyes closed but I got to say its hard because I hit my head a few times and still didn't under stand what was happening but right now in just calling it a parallel universe but for now
When I close my eyes I see black circles around my sister and it's been happening for over a week
Thank you guys, I had been wondering about it for a long time!!Then I googled it, and read all your experiences!
Best regards
😊
I have had a similar experience but much much scarier i went to bed and 3/4 down my bed i could see this incredibly.faint face and stared at it thinking it was just something in my room then all of a sudden i started to see pictures of literal demons morphing and changing incredibly fast all staring at me with a sinister smile i could not breathe or move my legs or even speak this went on for about 20 seconds i rubbed my eyes with my blanket for a few seconds and they faded away the images did not change or get affected.at all if i blinked or shut my eyes i was shaking for hours after this ive heard this is because im clairvoyant and ive just discovered my.third eye which is used to view messages from spirits? So did i receive a message from hell?
I think i may have the worst case of Clairvoyance or your third eye ive seen literal demons lots of.them and im not religious at all and the day before this happened i swear and i mean i swear i saw a shadow person standing right next to me sitting down on the couch i turned around and for a 1000th of a second i saw the outline of a small person that just almost immediatly disappeared i cannot stop shaking
Enter your comment... I tend to sleep when I'm alone in my hostel, but when I'm at home I sleep well even when I know my mom is not around and if no one is in d room with me. but in my hostel I don't sleep when I'm alone at night and when I close my eyes trying to sleep I starts dreaming seeing different kind of people buh knowing fully well even in my dream that I'm not sleeping
I close my eyes and saw a black doorway no hinges or knob no frame supporting it
like some trans dimensional doorway perhaps like on Dr Who or such sco fi stories would suggest. I rarely watch tv or barely go to any theaters so the black square or rectangle is there and its edges are emanating a purple aura as if the aura was alive and moving like needing to expand perhaps to ascension.
I have ides but not certain
many things are going on right now
I truly am in certainty that I have met finally my twin flame soul
its a woman and its definitely a runner chaser aspect stage 6. Im seeking guidance as much as advice on this vision
it seems we mirror each other
have 99.9% in common,sex is mind blowing to put it lightly
no matter what has happened nor how ugly snappy or sad or mean, we are drawn with increadible force together it is mind breaking barriers crossed and a miracle we are able to even do that
im the chaser to her runner.
my third eye has seen this vision
nowhere is it explained online
so I seek a guru if ones available
Same here i close my eyes and creepy things pop up out of no where when i wasnt thinking about it and other times i can control what i see while im awake with my eyes closed like im creating the vision...i don't know...it's weird
I began seeing people with my eyes closed during the early 90s. I was incarcerated at the time. I've only discovered recently that others have also. I can tell you from personal experience that it has nothing to do with clairvoyance or that false explanation that you have a psychic ability called "Remote Viewing". That's BULLSHIT!!!! What you, me, and a lot of others are experiencing are the intentionally, controlled, images projected into our minds by people in the black ops department of U.S. government agencies. The system is called "Remote Neural Monitoring". This is a malevolent branch of the U.S. government who have been experimenting with its own citizens. Their goal: to establish total mind control of unsuspecting citizens. WAKE UP!!! This is the state that the United States of America has devolved into. It's time to stop being naive about this "land of the free" mentality. That America no longer exists.
I see a 3 d image of rotting leaves..
All brown and layered.
Like walking on a forest ground full of brown decaying leaves...weird..it actually look gross and freaks we out..where I have to open my eyes.
We expierence something similiar to this, but my wife and i see little grayish or blueish creature ob our bed and sometimes they blow things in our mouth when asleep and we wake up choking. We dont know what they are but they also try to assault sexually when asleep. We have no answers but we got them.on camera,, we would like to know what they are??
Could i see the pic?
I see black swirls at night, dancing orb like starts in the sky as of recent,lucid dreaming,dont always feel scared by it I see imagery sometimes like a slide show no bad faces. Have had sleep paralysis and I'm thankful for prayer as its helped me. I have experienced lots of loss recently. Ima wondering if loved ones could try to say they are ok. My grandmother told me she was ok the day after she passed. Always been a lucid dreamer before I knew what it was. Recently started seeing haze in the sky during the day what is going on.what else scared me is multiple sclerosis because my back has been so messed up the past few days its debilitating. I think if anyone is scared pray it helps me most of the time it's not a bad think but I dont try to seek any of it. Especially telling people things and then them saying that's what they where thinking or people crossing my mind and something crazy is going on with them. My boyfriend I can tell thinks I'm crazy. My boss is super into church on pastor said I'm a prophet I dont know I had never thought that but I dont want any bad from this.
I've been seeing like people with white possessed looking eyes and people with really sharp teeth like momster looking like and then skulls
I have extremely vivid visions when I'm fully awake and my eyes are closed....it's as if I step out of my body and watching the whole thing live! They're mainly good visions about me. I've been looking for info about this type of dream, but really have found much!
When I close my eyes I can see very colorful and visions ...some weird, some amazing, but most are about me....for instance there was one night when everytime I shut my eyes I would see a huge giant keyhole with hundreds of eyeballs in it, another time, every time I shut my eyes I would see little animated money bundles with little googly eyes and smiley faces like playing ring around the rosy, another time I closed my eyes and saw myself coming out of my bedroom with a pair of turquoise shorts on eating something out of a bowl and I'm walking to the kitchen..as I'm beginning to pass the front door, out of the corner of my eye I see someone standing at the front door...I commence to walk that way and sit my bowl down on the arm of the conch and open the front glass door to two police officers....one tall, one short, both white, blonde, buff, and wearing Oakley style shades with their arms crossed...I have a little panic attack, because I'm home alone and I don't know why they're there...nevertheless, I let them in and they ask if I'm Crystal Garza and I say yes and I offer them a seat on the couch...they commences to hand me a certified letter and in the letter is a check for $350,000! That vision FRIGHTENED the crap out of me!!! Why would such a vision frighten me? If anyone could help, that would be amazing!
Omg Im relived that I'm not the only one. Wow...
I would be like to tell you how happened was at friends we got in fight and he punched me 2 times 6
Hi Eric.... ok not sure where to start. I also have experienced seeing things well my eyes are closed in the past couple years and truly believe the lord was trying to show me things. It always starts out w a bright colored wave that moves all around at times it's as if I see a circular motion happening. I used to see faces that looked as if they were trying to break through something, then I was able to actually see them, I could see the color of their skin their hair almost as if a movie screen but one at a time stacking on top of one another.for some reason I've believed these ppl may have already passed away as well... but dont know cause I've never seen them.I wanted to post cause for the first time I experienced something different, these all happened w my eyes closed but the other day as I experienced this and opened my eyes... I could still see this purple almost neon presence or waves moving in and out... w my eyes opened. I was a little freaked out. I am a believer and I've always believed I was receiving from God but questioning if it's from God or From evil. But it's as real as I am
That's exactly my experience I believed it was God cause I experienced it during prayer and at night. I did believe it was ppl who have already passed away but I'm not sure. I saw that color movement w eyes open the other day which was new.
I see alot of regular faces in prayer time or when going to sleep, I also have a gift of discernment and i recently have seen some evil looking things like a face disfigured all the sudden or a evil entity as soon as my eyes closed always when I'm w this one person. It scares me cause for the past 3 yrs my discernment of them has been on high alert to the point I cant be around them anymore. It's someone so close to me. And idk what to do. But w my experience I do believe it's something from God or are eyes are being opened to the spiritual world
I see something similar to this. It reminds me of a tunnel. I've tried to chalk it up as my third eye opening and me going into the realm of sleep. Like a portal, i do at times have orbs of lights that come out of my peripheral while awake. I've had it looked at and it's retinal holes from my near sightedness. But if too bad and with floaters, that can be a sign of retinal detachment. Pretty freaky sometimes.
I see red-green colors that switch to red-blue every 5 seconds when im in a dark room. I dont even have to close my eyes. Idk what it is, can someone just explain.
I've recently noticed this as well, swirling circles and sometimes images that with eye move can controlled. Reading more into this to see if it is blood pressure related. Have you had any issues with ringing in the ears or with white noise?
I see a single face whenever I close my eyes, and I mean close them for anything longer than a blink. It started not too long ago, and the face is always pale skinned with scratched out eyes in the shape of an x. When I say scratched out, I mean when you scratch something out of a physical copy of an image. I found out today that it is... or was... a woman's face. This woman also reached out to me, causing me even more fear than it usually does. Now I'm scared to close my eyes. I also have a gut feeling that this isn't a medical issue. Can anyone help me and explain this?
Every night for the past 4 months when I close my eyes to sleep i see siloetts of people and door ways and lit up windows in the distance behind my eyelids. I have had dreams that have come true and some that failed. Why is this happening to me.I don't always understand but why is this happening to me. I don't have an email so if you would like to share the answers I have a Facebook account under my name lareesa coldiron or please text me at 5416006265 I am very interested in what you have to say and try to understand what's going on in my soul. I could share some stories of the things that came true after dreaming. Thank you for this website and please let me know.
When I close my eyes or I am in complete darkness I see a wall made of very tiny bricks moving. When I was a child I felt like I was falling very slowly but now I have realized that I can control the direction of movement of the wall and it feels like I am floating inside a large cube.
I googled this today, I'm glad I'm not alone.
Some days When I wake up in the morning and I haven't opened my eyes yet i start a series of picture flashes, it's super fast and I can't make it out if it's people or things, whether I know them or not I also feel that my eyes are following them trying to see more and I have a sense that my eyes are darting back and forth there's plenty of colors, shapes, things and people. It freaks me out. I felt like I needed to look this up. I have heard your like flashes before you when your dieing and I started wondering if that is what this is like. It makes me a bit dizzy as I'm trying to focus at that point I open my eyes and it's gone. I know I'm awake, sorta, I can hear the cat meow. So what's up with this!!!???
I'm 23 and I have a terrible habbit of sucking my thumb to fall asleep. It's an addiction that nothing has helped, as a child my parents tried everything, once my dad duct taped my thumb... I stayed away for 16 hours try to sleep. Nothing has worked. Now at 23 I'm having to get braces for the 3rd time and I'm exhausted by this habbit. I read something about closing your eyes and focusing on your goals until you slowly fall asleep. After 2 months I've fallen asleep without sucking my thumb 2 times, non consecutively. Something weird has been happening within the last few weeks though. When I close my eyes, if I don't think about anything specific, the static sometimes the static starts to take shapes, I see vivid images of people or things. I see traffic passing by a drain tunnel, or dark red liquid draining and dripping. I see trees and blurry road signs. I don't understand it, I feel like it's something dream like but it feels like new memories. The one that really got me was a static sound like people whispering and I was immediately filled with fear. It's confusing and disorienting to see these things and have no idea where this stuff comes from.
Hi, I have these experiences from time to time to where I unconsciously close my eyes for 4-5 seconds while reading or sitting idle and don't realize it most of time. While my eyes are closed, the image before I closed my eyes are still playing and I feel like I'm still awake and in my physical body. I can feel and move like normal, although I feel like have control over myself, I don't. I don't realize that the movements aren't my official movements until I attempt to do something in detail like finishing reading a sentence in a book. Everything begins to feel distored and I immediately realize I closed my eyes and wake up. It's like visiting the my mind of myself, but instead of ME it's like I'm viewing another me in another deminsion at the same point I was before I closed my eyes. The weird part about it is the movements of this "dream" I experience always coexist with what my body is feeling.
For example, one time when I unconsciously closed my eyes I scratched my nose because of a tingling feeling. The normal things happened and I felt like I was doing those thing physically, but of course I was reading something before I closed my eyes and in my reality dream I attempted to read it but it was distored so I woke up knowing it happened to me again. Of course I was in the same position I was in the reality dream, but I felt that same sensation to scratch my nose. I was about to scratch my nose, but it felt weird to do what I just did in the dream the exact same way. Then after that it led to me to start thinking I was seeing some kind of future or maybe I'm just overthinking. It happened like this multiple times, but 1-2 of these dreams in my lifetime went to extra lengths and even predicted things I've done like 40 seconds ahead after waking up from them. So I went searching for an answer to see if there was a simple answer to it. I consider myself kind of stubborn and despise the thought of things being predetermind for myself. So, if that was the case I'll try to do anything to do the complete opposite of what was predestined, but the fact I followed those same movements unconsciously right after seeing them bothered me. The story I told you about the nose scratching just now was the first time I actually was aware of my actions. I also wake up from those dream fatigued even though I had plenty of sleep (6-7 hours) then I go back to my energized self after like 10 seconds.
Ya when I close my eyes I s👀 people a little hazy heard to see them sometimes.has anyone ever told you why this happens I would like to know.all my life I couldn't find out why and I'm 37 years old and honestly I don't even dream unless its important it's like GOD is telling me something you know! Anyway if you wouldn't mind sending me a text back because I don't have any idea why it happens thanks and have a blessed day or night

I am a 14 year old boy and when I draw or color or do anything that involves my hand my eyes start to flutter in the back of my head and I see a man dressed in black and also when I sleep and I dream I feel like my my soul leaves my body and I'm somewhere else and someone else that looks like me but it's a different reality in a different life that I'm living and it feels so real I want to wake up but I can't until I get scared and sometimes I wake up trying to catch my breath or try and hold on to what I had in my hand when I was dreaming and sometimes I see and hear people that are dead in my visions sometimes you tell me what's going to happen in the future and most of the time it happens where I can see my future in my dreams sometimes and it also happensI don't know if somebody's trying to contact me or if I got a gift or if it is something different but I don't know what exactly is going on so can anybody help me because I really need help to know what this means if anybody knows what it means can you please contact me and give me info about it at my email @johnnyelias696@gmail.com
I am also 14 years old I went to jail for 3 weeks and I was reading the Bible and something told me to read Revelations so I read Revelations and I came home three weeks after I had got locked up and when I came home I went to my room and I went to sleep that night I had a dream that the world was ending but it was in Revelations it happened exactly the way the Bible said it in Revelations and remember my dream that we had to look for hotel me and my family and they were giving us the mark of the beast in our forehead and whenever me and my brother cuz we we didn't want it so we kept escaping so I took my brother with me and my brother kept running away but we can't finding our way back in that building and after all my whole family except for me and my brother got the mark of the beast everybody was outside with the riot and everybody was protesting and yelling with signs and I said to my brother that wouldn't you get out of here I feel like something's going to happen something bad I don't like it let's go and there was a entrance to get out where a gate was so me and my brother got out and we try to get our family but they didn't want to and as soon as we were getting out we heard gunshots and people running and screaming and me and my brother ran over your running towards a forest I don't know how I knew it was a forest all I remember seeing was trees and then all of a sudden it was pitch-black and I went I mean my brother couldn't even see your hand that was directly in front of our face that's how dark it was are we started looking around and where people were at their clothes were there but their bodies were gone and it scared me so I went to go check on my grandparents and right before I made it a house down from my house I woke up cuz I got you scared but it felt so real I don't know if that's kind of what happens to you but if but I feel like we relate with that dream but it was my second time having it two separate times they were both a year apart
Yes. I sometimes see a spiral, kind of like a tornado. It fades after a few moments. Sometimes it’s small and other times it’s large.
So I was laying in bed last night and I was a bit emotional. After a while I began to see a swirl or a spiral that was constantly in motion but never crossing the room in distance. It was also sparkling or trying to emit some type of light from it as well..what was this
Sometimes when I lay in bed with my eyes closed, I can see the room around me, it comes out in a very similar way to my eyes becoming dark adjusted. While this is happens I feel like I am losing awareness of my body
When I close my eyes I see the most scariest monster/ creatures one could ever see but they don't scare me they are there in the dark.. no background or lights or anything but the 1 creature I see.. i would love to know why.......
When I was a kid I always hated shampooing my hair in the shower because when I would close eyes to rinse it out I would see the scariest of faces staring back at me. when I close my eyes now I usually see this weird reflection of my own eyes.. or someone else's
A couple of days ago, I was laying down in bed with a friend. I was no where near sleep, but I was relaxed. So, I just closed my eyes and when I did, a grey wolf with yellow eyes flashed before me and I could see it so vividly. It was almost like the wolf was right in front of me. But, this isnt the first time. I close my eyes and see people (ive never seen before), objects, places, etc. Its very interesting to me but at the same time a little scary. Ive always wondered why.
Last night I closed my eyes to go to sleep, I instantly saw a mirrored reflection of myself, except the eyeballs were black, completely black. Not sure what to really think.
I did the exact same thing last night. I woke up and went back to sleep. And all I could see is flashy digits, numbers, shapes and more. I'm wondering if that is how we dream? Because I woke straight up from a dream to go to the bathroom. And went back to bed. I had this happen 2x and it is weird.
I see the same things bit I see horrific demon monsters that can fly. They can all fly.
I have suffered from migraines for years and have always seen what I describe as snow or floating dust even when I close my eyes I see it. It's like tv static but not in such a way that it distorts everything I see as I can look past it. kind of like looking at things through a small snowfall. It's disorientating as I often feel like I'm in the physical world but not completely anchored to it. I know that sounds crazy but it's like a buzzing feeling in my head, (not a sound) and it's distracting and dizzying at times. Lately, the headaches are more consistent and it's caused me to be more aware of things I had just assumed were normal like the images I see when I close my eyes. It started off as only being able to see the ghosting images of light sources and this image would remain even after I reopen my eyes creating a blind spot. I have had MRI's and cat scans but they found nothing! However lately I've noticed something else. I am seeing images and often memories of something or many things That I had watched or seen earlier that day. sometimes these images play out as a video all displayed at the same time so I will be seeing multiple memories at once making them hard to focus on and understand what I am seeing. To make matters worse they are all playing as if they have a negative filter on them like the filter you see in a photo editing app when you select the negative filter. The hardlines show up as the color green but everything else is blacked out and often hard to decipher. I don't know whether to be scared of this I would actually think it was cool if it wasn't for the massive migraines and snow I keep seeing. Someone, please tell me if I should be as afraid as I am. Or as concerned as I am.
I am 68. a year ago I started seeing colours red green blue like rain going sideways. I began to to see faces of strangers. All colour was montone. Today they changed to running in forest twice I have seen a big cat like a linx, but with colours of a leopard. I also see in full colour. one was a forest in full fall colours. They come more and more often.
I think my wife thinks I am going crazy. Anyone know why this is happening
My earlier comment did not say that I am fully awake. I tested it by opening and closing my eyes. Within a few seconds the visions start. Also when testing the same video would come beck.
I have experienced this. I am in a dozing state. My mind replays my entire day start to finish it can be at warped speed or it can be as if im on laughing gas everything is distorted and slow. In the slow one something specific will stand out on their body such as their head may be like a giant balloon or their hands may be super tiny it doesn't really scare me its just really weird and feels very real.
When nodding off I have visions off trees blowing in the wind. I really like the visions maybe part of my condition as I have CIRS. The only good thing to come out of it.
Sorry about Cirs must be hard. I had a vision that I was flying over a forest and reaching grasslands. This one lasted close to a minute. It was so peaceful.
Right before falling asleep I see a series of faces, like a slide show. I just see faces/shoulders and there’s no demographic skew—little kids, adults, old people, male, female, and a full mix if races. They present as a photograph would, with the person looking into the camera, never a profile. Some seem to be from an earlier period of time or foreign land (based on a hat or what upper body clothing I can see). Facial expressions might be moderate smile, slight smile, thoughtful, discouraged, tired etc but never anything extreme. No-one looks scared, terribly sad, threatening or overly joyous. And never does more than one person appear in a single slide.
I recognize none of these faces, and from what I can tell they don’t repeat in a single session’s cycle or from night to night. I guess they could be people I’ve seen in on TV, in magazines or on the street that day, but by now you’d think I’d sort of recognized at least somebody.
This happens frequently, but not every night. And only happens right before I’m about to fall asleep.I have terrible insomnia and welcome when it happens because I know I’ll soon be asleep.
I've had similar experiences. I'm so glad that I've stumbled across this page. I was trying to find reasoning behind the vivid images of faces, sometimes terrifying, and specifically eyes. It's been happening more frequently where I'm starting to drift off and then I see a shadow or an eye float past and I'm not talking about eyeball I mean like the oval shape of an eye. Sometimes if I close my eyes after I'll see tons of them almost like a wall. About 3 months ago I noticed disgruntled faces and like you said vile looking creatures. The other night it was an old woman and she looked comforting but the more I tried to look at her the deeper her eye sockets got and the droopier her skin got. I thought I was going crazy. I talked to someone about it and they mentioned something about schizophrenia but I'm pretty sure I'm not.
I have this too! If I am very tired I will usually multiple times per day close my eyes for literally one second while driving, working, sitting, ect and instantly have a "dream" in a matter of that second. I will see people they will talk or tell me something I will see vividly the background and then open my eyes real quick realizing I'm driving or my head has started to lean towards the keyboard. Throughout my life I have always had extremely vivid dreams while sleeping as well as several throughout the night almost every single night.
When I close my eyes and focus on the middle of the darkness i first see a circle then stars in a circle or a wavy curtain then scenes will appear. Sometimes scenery sometimes a room but with different furniture and people in it or animals. Incan communicate with the people. Some are friendly. Some don’t like me but I can hear people walking along the floor boards if I’m turned facing the wall. Sometimes I will see a computer screen that I can control with my hand it’s like a computer / television system and it has games on it and I once told it through my mind to put in news and sometimes it will show different species or people that look human. I see a weather map sometimes but the continents don’t look like earth and the names of the cities or countries are nothing I’ve ever heard of. I’ve seen so many weird things. Also sometimes if I’ve had a really intense dream I will wake up and see math equations or writing in transparent or green on my wall. I’ve also seen once rooms and every time I close my eyes and open them the room would be a different color each had a symbol. I only remember a beautiful lady on one. A man on another. A symbol of a couple in a sexual position and the next room said reincarnation. I wonder if I will see those rooms again when I die. Also I do have a medical condition. I have narcolepsy which is an excess of the REM stage. I always am paralyzed (sleep paralysis) when I see the things fully awake. I enjoy them though its entertainment and I’m certain it means something Just don’t know what.
I just started take a pain pill and something for shakes. Meds I haven’t taken before. The meds made me start seeing things and people moving around while my eye are closed. So I’m off them for a couple of days to see if it stops. It probably will.
So I’m waiting for my doctor to return my call.
Me too especially in the tele when it’s off
Me and my dad experience the same thing. As soon as I close my eyes even if I'm wide awake, I am ambushed by thousands of faces. Their face is so close to mine our faces touch. I can only see them torso up. All ages, nationalities, eras. They don't do anything but stare at me.Some have big grins some are emotion less...Some turn into evil twisted faces. I find yelling at them help,or I punch at them. I draw the faces I remember the most. It's happened since I was a kid I'm 28 now...
For years now I have been seeing images of places and people who I have never seen before when I close my eyes. I see landscapes flashing by. Mostly in black and white. If I am calm and look closely the images become very clear and defined so much so that I can see the wrinkles on the faces of people. I see war scenes too from centuries ago quite often. I also sometimes see my brother, uncle and dad who are no more. I enjoy these visuals. But looking for an explanation as to why this happens. I often wonder if I have picked up these images from magazines or movies and somehow stored them in my memory. Do you have any information on why this happens. Or why this could happen. I know that I have strong intuition and can feel people emotions. Is this something to do with that? I am wide awake when these visuals appear, my eyes closed. Sometimes I have to open my eyes when something starts to make to feel fear or if I start to panic, usually when there's a lot of water as in rivers and seas or sheer cliffs or walls falling down. I open my eyes for a few seconds to clear the images. I hope to hear from others experiencing something like this. Many thanks
Hi,
I have trouble falling asleep most nights. It's even harder when in a dark quiet room. I need the small light changes and the quiet ambient noise to almost distract me when trying to sleep. If not my mind will go into over drive. I will start awake after hearing someone screaming at me to wakeup, i will see things I would rather not. And the bugs crawl under the covers. The hallucinations as I have come to call them as they are the closest can be controlled almost. If I can hear familiar sounds rather than the quiet the images are colourful, bright and fast. Everything melds together almost like a hippie visual. I know it sounds childish and fearful but it allows me to sleep easier without waking from visuals, sounds and feelings that we all know are not real. That we all know we have no way to control or stop as we are falling asleep.
I have tried many, many times and have had many arguments with my partner about growing up and sleeping like an adult in the dark and quiet.
It's strange, it's like the control over it all is gone.
I know it sounds probably stranger and it's potentially in my head.
But this is my method and it works and keeps it at bay most nights.
I experience the same thing and my third eye is opened a bit as well.
I also seen this before its like short movies for me before sleep i laugh to myself because i only close my eyes not even sleeping yet .
I see a circular band in grey that gets smaller and smaller then repeats when I close my eyes in the dark. It is so unnerving I totally dark the room and go to sleep with my eyes open.
This only happens when I'm laying down. I will be lying down and I close my eyes ,and sometimes my eyes are open to then these visions appear of people I have never seen in places doing different things. Some people will just be walking down the street and I can see them clearly and as I continue to watch what there doing they fade away. After it fades away another vision will come .I get different visions appearing back to back ,and they look like a whole nother world . Sometimes the vision stays longer then usual. They are usually there for a few seconds and then they fade away.It doesn't happen all the time ,but it does happen often. Tonight I saw about five people in flouresint yellow on a street corner talking and working with hard hat on . I can never hear what any of them say . Then I saw a car the front tire was made like the cartoon flintstones like the tire was a log only this log drove while on fire. It's like it was made to burn like that and it kept driving to a underground place I watched it go down underneath the street , and then it faded. These visits are so real but what are they ? Can you please tell me. Thank you.
Hello to you all. My name is Tracey..I see beautiful images in color of places and fields that I have never been before. I am not asleep its just after I close my eyes to rest. At night when I see a light of any kind..that light transforms into whatever image I think of. Animals ,people, places or whatever. It use to bother me but I have come to try and enjoy the scenery and figure out what is happening...how is it that I can see these images..When I was A child about 8 to 14 years old I could see dead people but only the people that died in my family this really scared me every single night...I had to sleep with the lights on. I have learned to recite the scripture that says God Has Not Given Us The Spirit Of Fear But Of Peace And A Sound Mind..it gives me comfort and peace knowing this..but still being human I still become anxious sometimes..
Yes I thought it was just me..thank god Images..When not going crazy. I see this woman walking towards me looks like Shes dressed in a 60s style dress Shes happy and talking to someone with her but walking in my direction almost like their in another dominion but so close to ours. I see animals anything I thin in my mind its there in color moving!!! Its weird.
My eyes are wide open looking at the darkness and my walls inside my home.i am not asleep .y eyes are opened.I am saying to myself out loud..what the hell is this? Images..When not dreaming no more than I am right now texting you. God has given some of us the ability to see things that others can not...dosent have to be any scientific proof..when others can't experience the things that some people can see..they always will have doubt..we know what were seeing is really happening. Although I don't have the gift of hearing the dead people speak from the other side..i believe that there are others who have that gift.
Please contact me. This is The SAME exact experience I've been living with for the last 2 years..it started out one night as a "friendly" ghost type figure i could see when I closed my eyes. Not just see but also feel when he would rub my back and touch me in anyway..I thought I was going crazy! He was handsome and very nice and loving at first but then slowly turned mean and cruel and then that has led to 2 long years of dealing with evil spirits as I close my eyes to go to bed..not just seeing but physically feeling them too and leading to very hard time sleeping with them pulling all sorts of tricks and taunting me every night. The only thing that I have had that has dimmed it and helped me is my faith in Jesus and asking for His help and following Him. That has truly helped it get under control from the insanity that it once was. Its so hard to explain to or relate to anyone who hasn't experienced it before cuz we just sound crazy as can be lol. Id love to be able to talk to you about your experiences also. Please email me. My email is tawny2459@gmail.com
When I close my eyes at night in bed, lights off, I notice a wave/waves of energy moving, almost like I am seeing the Earth’s magnetic field or something. The waves are sometimes darker smears or lighter smears. This continues as long as I pay attention to it. It encompasses my entire field of eyes-closed vision and is very soothing. It is not spots or static, more like soft vertical waves moving slowly from left to right.

Hi Mildred, thanks for sharing your testimony of what you see is the closest to mine that I have read here. My visions are cloud like that turn into a bright light in the center and then wings that fly off and disappear. It is quite beautiful. How do we find out more on this subject do you know?
Most often I see swirling purple aurora borealis through a silhouette of trees, and a star-filled night sky. Some stars blinking and bright, and an occasional shooting star. Sometimes I see faces which appear suddenly as if a spotlight is shining on them, but I don't recognize them and they don't seem aware of me. Sometimes I see dark, rocky cliffs that seem to move and shift in a menacing way. I really like the Aurora borealis! Especially since I've never seen it in person. Maybe some day 😊
Its an early sunday morning I'm a 36 year old man, i went to stretch and closed my eyes for a few seconds like i always do. I didn't see the whole face of the man i seen. He was tan, not dark and not a light tan. I would say middle eastern. His hair swayed above his brow as if a light breeze carried it. I could see speckled bits of sand on the left side of his face by his eye.( the only part of his face i seen) it was his eye as if i was focused on it. It was a look of gloom not despair a 1000 yard stare. The eye itself was off, the white part of the eye was black the colored part was a deep gray followed by black. No light reflected from it. 20 secs is all it lasted then i opened my eyes again. Not sure who he was just felt like i was comfortable after seeing it. Is that weird? Maybe.
Sometimes i closed my eyes, idk what happens or what its called, but i try to describe it here, example : rn i see laptop infront of my on top of my bed and every detail on it, then i closed my eyes and i can still see it and if i moved my eyes i can see it moved like i open my eyes its just weird can any of you guys told me what i experienced?
Wow! You and I have very similar experiences with this . It almost was as if I was reading my own post . That's what I would write. I see a bit more as well and I dont know what to make of it.
Wow! I have very similar experiences as you do. I just recently acquired this and dont know what to think of it
Hi, I also see faces, but I can see them with my eyes closed and opened, while I'm laying in bed, it's like each person I see is going through their whole life in front of my eyes from child to adult, I some times wonder is it past lifetimes that I'm witnessing, and sometimes I can see land and trees and theres fog, but I actually feel like I'm flying over the land and I can feel the wind blowing my hair, and I can close my eyes or keep them open but can still see it. I'm not sure what it all means, but it sure feels real, I'm glad to know there's others experiencing some strange but awesome things out there, love to all
I do. Sometimes there is nothing at all but sometimes a bright patch will get larger and then a whole scene will play out. Usually different every time. Once I dropped in of 4 guys in a convertible who had a car wreck. Last night I just saw some lady yelling at a crying man. Last year I actively tried for several nights to try to see things. After that I had several strange experiences. I think when I woke up to find two people dressed in old fashioned clothes standing by my bed having a conversation. I knew they were real so I watched to see how they would disappear and they did. They started to grow smaller and move away in a circle shape which the moved into an old picture that was on the wall. It then popped and was gone. I think maybe that was hypnagogic but I can't say for sure. After a few more weird things happening we smoked my room good with sage and no more weird happenings until recently. Last night I had dropped off while laying in bed watching tv. I was not paralyzed as I moved my head and arms and started watching tv and then I looked up and saw kind of a funny misty edge to a shadow on the ceiling. As I watched it a swirling mist or fog of some kind came down toward me and then kind of moved around the room. It had a few particles of dust or something in it. I kept watching tv and would also look around and find it again. I was a little scared and decided it must be in my head or my eyes or something and just stopped watching it and later when I did look for it I could not find it. I did wonder if it was a spirit or something and if maybe I am having these things happen because I am getting old and closer to death? Don't know. I never saw much of anything until we moved to this house. Gonna have to sage the room again.
I always see a bright red circle when I open my eyes
When I close my eyes I see ppl with white eyes coming at me. I see dead bodies with blood and it scares the crap outta me. I haven't slept in 2 days. And I even try to think of other things but still it happens.
I close my eyes and I go blasting past beautiful places. Its amazing. I also see green lazor lights at the end. Love to hear everyone's experiences we are all so special hehe
Last night I had some crazy imagery. I was attempting to go lucid, and my mind went insane. I was seeing rapid flashes of dark demonic imagery. Dark blackish red walls covered in eyes mouths teeth and hands. I was a bit scared at first, and then I attempted to control it by changing the scenery which worked for a moment. But, it was torn away by demonic hands and went straight back to rapid flashing of this wall and demons. After my attempt at changing scenery was ripped away, I was no longer worried but more curious and stayed with it as long as I could. Sounds of screaming began to happen, the flashing became more rapid with more gruesome imagery. It was super interesting and I am hurrying through my day to get back to figure out what it was.
I see faces that I've never seen before. Some are in black and white. Some faces look like pencil sketches. Some are colorful like the white cloth wit splashes of blue and red paint. It was vivid.i see images 5hat I would call visions. I saw my self by a o.bright orange fire. I had a white ling dress on and a crown on my head. I took the crown off a three it in the fire.Sometimes it's a whole scene that lasts a minute.i just closed my eyes and I saw a dead man in his coffin.He had a vivid white face and his hair was slicked with oil
. It happens all the time.
What did the entities look like? Demons don't show there real self's. R u religious?
It seems I was cursed by an individual the curse was meant for a member of my family but it bounced off andaytached to me instead it was a curse that meant to drivethe victim inSan ofi sM
Tiny mouse I too have images of people usually they are back somewhere between 1850 to early 1900s. Landscape etc. If I concentrate I can bring them closer to me.
I do enjoying it and mine only started a few years ago. I wanted to mention it to my primary doctors eye doctor but have decided not too!
Just wonder if there's others out here and wondering why.
This has been happening to me as well whenever I go to meditative state before bed, fully conscious I lay on bed close my eyes. I see sort of a ring light which moved in a circle, like a cyclone with light on the corners. When u focus on those lines, it splashes a wave of light and a door opens, I see people that I have never seen before, I guess an adult man and a kid sitting together, eating have never been able to focus past that to find out what it actually means but it scares me and I tend to open my eyes because of the fear of unknown.
That's happens to me alot also some of them out of this world looking
I see a white mist in the darkness and what I can describe as sometimes random electrical sparks, I notice what imprints from light is and most of the time its essentially empty. I am aware of eye floaters and how food or sleep deprivision can effect the brain also night terrors. But somes times I can see flashes of light crossing vision eyes open or closed. I can see floaters but am not sure because they move at different speeds and direction. I never want to sound crazy but a decade ago I remember seeing and hearing 2 people in my mind that passed away years prior to that memory, I've thought about this for years, infact its probably only reason am here. They could'nt of possibly known what to say to me in that present time, the only conclusion I have is my mind used memorys to get a visual a verbal message to myself. It gets wierder aswel, last week when I was trying to sleep an image of a figure came into my thought, so i focused on its facial features and my mind was like constantely trying to build a animation using jigsaw pieces but i could never picture the full image. Maybe its me and I need to change sleeping pattern because its not happened since however still random sparks and sometimes see loads of stars which maybe blood rushing to my brain. Every night I will drink water to help my brain to rest and take things easy because my mind might not be able to cope with everything going causing illusions. Take care everyone and take good care of your brains :)
I have for many years seen faces of people l don't know. They ate very close and l can see every detail, sometimes they are couples , sometimes they are on there own and on occasions they will turn and look at me.
I experience this when my eyes are half closed. I am not frightened, on fact the opposite, l find them a fascinating
I usually sees visions when I’m restless and try to sleep, I close my eyes first. I see black and white then try to imagine what I would want to dream about but usually the bodies and faces turn very demonic and terrifying. Some nights it’s pretty bad even after I open my eyes again to get the disturbing images out of my head I continue to think about them. Again this happens more often when I cannot sleep no matter how hard I try.
This just happened to me. I woke up from a nightmare nearly an hour ago and too frightened to fall asleep. I've been telling my boyfriend over the last few days that I'm able to see faces when I close my eyes, while I'm still awake. At first they weren't clear. They were all shadows, over time they started to become clearer.
It started with this thing (not sure if it was human) reaching out to me from what appeared to be a window frame. Almost as if it were trying to get in or something. Sometimes it was one, sometimes there were two. Then they became a little clearer. I swore one looked almost like my grandfather who passed away a few months ago. Then, this morning..I saw as clear as day (in black and white) a blonde woman with shoulder length hair in se sort of distress. She seemed irritated with the way she seemed to speaking (I didn't have auditory hallucinations) with facial expressions and hand gestures -as if she were arguing with someone. It was so bizarre. That was clearest "visual " I've had yet.
Now those didn't terrify me, this dream that I just had did and what I think I woke up to see as my boyfriend gently shook me.
My nightmare (the end of it) basically I was in my childhood living room, it was nighttime, and the front door was open, but glass screen was closed. I was trimming hair (um, down there- idk why it was a weird dream) and I see this heavy set dude walking down the street..I'm embarrassed bc he sees me, well trimming down there. He walks by making a jerking off motion, I open the door to yell at him to get out of here and that when I see his face. It is freaking terrifying. Think John Wayne Gacy and the clown from American Horror Story with Twisty the clown. The grey face and some sort of white make-up/mask...he walks up to my neighbors door and is trying to go in. I scream for my mom and dad (idk, why..bc I'm my age in my dream and let's say I'm out of my twenties right now). I lock the glass door and yell, then this Michael Myers type guy jumps through a now bay window that appeared, I'm still yelling for my parents at this point - then bam, my boyfriend wakes me up.
But that's not the end. That's not why I can't fall back asleep.
When my boyfriend woke me, I'm not sure if my eyes were open yet or not...but I instantly could see our little closet in our room. In our closet at the very top of the rack where we have things hung, there were these two deep bright red beady eyes.. tucked into my boyfriends sweatshirts. Just looking out at me..and as if it were some what stunned that I woke and saw it.
I say that I think it was stunned, but now I'm not sure. What I am sure of is that I haven't been able to fall back asleep since and have turned the light of my cell phone on.
This isn't the first very real or vivid dream I've had in the past two days.
I'm curious if these awake visons and my dreams are connected.
Either way, I'm still a bit freaked out.
Im replying to your comment because its th3 closest to my experience ive rwad so far. Thought we could compare notes.
I need help pls and advice

When i go to bed i lay awake and in the dark i see tree leaves above my head and too the side of me but i see a eagle Wing with the feathers than a eye with eye lashes. Some times i see a face but not so much now. Years ago i had a wolf that use to talk at me now that when im awake. Im not on meds but it is some thing strange. I dont tell any one because i feel they will judge me
I have a similar occurrence. Sometumes when I am falling asleep or sleep deprived, I will start to space out and hallucinate myself lying in a totally different room. My eyes will be closed and everything, and suddenly ill be looking at some sort of setting or scenery. It is so strange, ad soon as I realize what's happening it goes back to black. Its so weird. I will drift off, suddenly be somewhere else, and then snap out of it and come back to reality. This also happens when I take benzos or pain medicine.
I have been having this happen to me but it's a little different. I sometimes find myself traveling down a road I have never been down. Once I found myself flying really high and then suddenly descended down to the top a a bunch of tall buildings. I sometimes see faces and shapes. It keeps me from falling asleep.
I have the same condition as you
This is a very old post but I've been having a hard time explaining myself to others about what I see with my eyes closed. I've had several different experiences while staring out of my closed eyes. The most common is different images that start off tiny and change shape over and over again. Could be an animal, person, shape, a group of people. This is common when I lay on my side.
More recently I've tried to focus on these images and when I start too focus I see a night sky full of stars. When I lay on my back. It usually starts off some what fuzzy or blurry, but if I focus they look like tiny stars. Once this image comes into focus I can open my eyes and the image remains. I look around my ceiling and see different parts of the night sky. In general it lasts until I go to sleep which usually takes 5-10 minutes.
I see demonic looking creatures.. like a maggot running sideways...balls of bright light that pour out like a cloud...coloured grids...lots of little star looking lights like in space and patterns of lines..feels devilish, and then I end up with a headache urghhhh
Satan disguises himself as angel of light.
Pray it away.. it's demonic
My dad died on the 23August. Im a care worker. A resident who's on palliative care just told me my dad is standing behind me. He was chatting away to some one in his room. Also told me about my dad in his garden who used to put soot in his trees dirt. He also said he was sad about how the family have been treating me. Up set me but its spot on.
When eyes close to go sleep its by choice l scan the inside of eyelids to search l always see faces slow move towards me one @ a time.don't know them.love the experience!!
Did you find out what it was? When I was around 13yrs old, everytime I would close my eyes I had what felt like heaps and heaps of different faces coming towards me trying to tell me something, this went on for a couple of weeks. I eventually told my mum, and told her how tired I was, as I could not sleep she told me to tell them to go away. strange enough it stopped.. but I'm still curious to know why it happened
This is great. I just lost the ability to see images every time I closed my eyes. I thought it was how everyone was. Personally, I want it back. Thanks for the great read.
I dont know how old this thread is or if anyone still reads/posts here (the original post says 2006), but I found this recently here in 2022 because I've been trying to understand this phenomenon.
This is all very new for me; I've never had any type of visual hallucinations before. I've never done psychedelics either. I've definitely been a heavy weed user, and while stoned recently I seem to have learned a new ability of some sort.
I was kind of just laying there relaxed and I allowed my eyes to close. I didnt really want to sleep though, so I kept opening my eyes every few minutes or so. One particular time while my eyes were closed, I started noticing more detail in the usual blurry blobs of color and shapes that seem to fade in an out while my eyes are closed. For whatever reason, I "focused" on one an area of light. Now this is very difficult to describe... but as I focused on this very small fleck of light there was like a zooming in effect or like a camera panning toward a focal point. It was like I was looking through something. Inside of whatever I was looking through...would be some sort of scene. What, or who, was in the scene is always completely unrecognizable as human or familiar objects, but they remind of those things. And they MOVE....and they seem to be trying to communicate with me. Sometimes they seem to wave or even like encourage me to keep trying to see the., because they see me. It was terrifying and fascinating at the same time The other thing about these visions is that I could only hold the focus for a couple seconds before I would lose the picture. I would then have to open my eyes, close them and try to find another "portal" to focus on and look through (thats what I've taken to calling them).
Things have gotten weirder, though. Remember I mentioned learning before... I've found that I can absolutely do this stone cold sober. I dont get them every time, and there does seem to be some kind of connection to almost being asleep. I wish that I could see them for longer periods of time. They don't "scare" me as much anymore and now I more curious than anything.
They do seem to be somewhat repeatable...I'd say the most common one is room full of people that "wave" at me. The room changes shape and color. The figures are like these constantly morphing blobs that churn and vibrate and turn in on themselves. Like I said, they seem to be trying to communicate with me in some way. Sometimes encouraging. Sometimes happy/excited to see me and trying to get me to understand that they see me. Sometimes not active at all...maybe simply curious. It has me completely dumbfounded.
The rational part of me feels that it has to be some kind of neurological phenomenon .
The more imaginative side of me ponders the possibility of them being visual representations of your lifetime of memories, visualized in real-time.
The other thing that comes to mind is looking through a wormhole in the galaxy at beings on the other side and trying to communicate. Its very bizarre.
I just wanted to share my experiences. Some responses here seem to be very close to what I've seen, others not so much.
I meditate with closed eyes and I get some color flashes but mostly a black Fog that gets lighter and lighter and then the fog will blow away and I can see clear sky but the fog will come back as soon as I have a coherent thought and not just the effect of the mantra where I'm conscious but unaware with language. I want to stay in that clearing but I just can't.
I love your description, I have the same thing. Though last night the shapes that usually bounce around and morph turned into sharp images of people, or like videos. It's so hard to exlain in trying to figure it out
Sometimes when I close my eyes at night, I will see a complete page of text from a book, but I can’t read it. Sometimes I see a coloured background that looks like a patterned fabric or paper. When I was younger, I used to see lightening for a few minutes when I closed my eyes. If I am stressed and I close my eyes, I sometimes see a purplish orb of light. I should mention I have been diagnosed with glaucoma recently.
So, I’m 51 male. I’ve always seen monsters and demons as a child in everything. The floor, the curtains a sidewalk paint on a wall tiles etc;
For the life of me I could never understand why
I started doing amateur paranormal stuff with evp’s and pictures cause I’ve seen things I couldn’t explain that terrified me
After a while all the faces disappeared and now all I could see was a gigantic orgy with young abused girls and women and demons having their ways.
And it was never the same image twice
Now it’s everywhere
Well
Up until I got married and wife had a 12g
For real this girl would try and flaunt herself to me
I busted her every time cause I’m not about that
But she kept it up still
So after 6 years and as well an abusive father still butthurt about the divorce
And daughter loves dad I questioned the relationship
And then one day by accident ( yes, I’m a man, I watch porn) my daily upload had a video that when I looked at it closer I could swear it was my stepdaughter
She denied it but too many coincidences led me to pick this apart
Found more vids and you can see they covered up any identifying marks moles ect;
Couldn’t prove it 100 but it made sense
After a whole thing and without bad reaction daughter denied it but I convinced the mom otherwise but to leave it alone since her father drove his own bus over himself
I think she started to wake up
But for the last year and a half
All I can see now is her everywhere
In the carpet on the dirt in the leaves on the dirty window and without even seeing all the vids i collected,she started mimicking the same moves
In fact, she would come out of her room dressed up almost exactly like the last porn I watched. Mind you, I hunted this down furiously cause she was a minor and sick people have to be punished.
I found no good in all I viewed
I found no joy in all the match play for marks that they didn’t scrub (bad editing left frames open and clear and boom, all the marks in the right places). I moved us away from reach and we’re dropping everything cause I think she suppressed all of it
But the more she seems like she’s more depressed, the more I’m seeing images i e never seen. All her at various ages and always being molested. Could it be her reaching out to me and because I genuinely love her as a father I’m seeing all this disgusting imagery cause she knows that it’s not that for me but to show me what to look for?? I can’t stress enough of how impossible this all could be unless she was my eyes to see all I see.
Please don’t try to troll this
Im already sick of this but I can’t turn it off
And they’re all her
And in some like a video,yeah, she turns and looked at me crying and trying to say something but I can’t read her lips.
I
Sorry for the short novel but I needed to say all of this so as to better understand my shoes and my mile. I cant I see it
Please help if you know what’s wrong cause I’m not crazy
I see them any time I want to I love it, mine started after inviting the Holy Spirit into everything I do. The first night it happened I got woken up by a call at 11:52 pm from an old lady telling me god wanted to send me a message he loves me. Miraculously I had been praying for God to give me a sign that whole week. After the phone call I saw my first vision and drew it out. It was beautiful. It’s so beautiful I can manifest it and see it on a wall in pure dark room. I can always see the stars and a white bird flying around no matter what. As I lay and wait I see more. The most visual illustrations have been when I wake up in middle of night. I have seen a finger pointing to a book and the book is lit up with a shadow over a certain area of book. I look at that clock and type in such as such time it is ( 2:45 am ) so i type in 2:45 scripture in google and go to my Bible. Crazy enough the beginning of chapter I’m led to is the part of the Bible that was shadowed with a circle over it. It’s been powerful messages some that I needed to hear based on my day or week. God has chosen you my entire life has changed since then , I will never look back. I literally feel so blessed and loved that he chose me to see this because I am extremely creative and pure on heart. God is so good I encourage you to look for a sign and the time and do some digging to read the message he wants you to read.

Joel 2:28 - And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Amos 3:7 - Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
1 John 4:1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Daniel 1:17 - As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
Proverbs 29:18 - Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Numbers 12:6 - And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
I am 31 years old by the way and a mother of two. My whole family is changing from this. Be willing to receive this gift it’s a glimpse of heaven !
YES, this exactly. It's only when my eyes are closed and I'm relaxing to fall asleep. The faces are still, as if I'm remembering looking at a photograph of someone, but it's never anyone I know. No movement, just a still close up of a face. It could be a woman smiling and wearing an old fashioned Victorian hat, a man with a beard looking serious etc. This morning I hit the snooze alarm and when I closed my eyes in my "mind's eye" I saw a still shot of a baby wearing a bib, food on his face, and he was crying. Not crying in the sense I HEAR anything, like you took a picture of your crying toddler in his high chair. These images aren't scary in any way, but at times it bothers me because I wonder WHY it happens. This has been going on for maybe 3 years and it isn't evert time I go to sleep.
Oddly enough, or maybe not so Oddly, it sparked a real memory from 40 years ago when my mom told me she sees faces when she closes her eyes to sleep. I jokingly asked her if they talked to her and she became annoyed and dropped the subject. Good news is that she's nearly 80 yrs old now and has no dementia or mental illness so I suppose those of us who experience this shouldn't worry too much.
Is be curious if your experience is like mine?
Do the people actively move, or is it like a snapshot of someone doing something?
I sometimes see faces when I close my eyes to sleep but it's more of a the experience of looking at a picture of someone, but I never know the people. I'm definitely still awake because I can think, "who IS this" and open my eyes. I thought it was maybe because I'd been looking at a lot of old photos doing genealogy but they aren't old fashioned pictures, just up close head shots of random strangers. I'm not actively trying to see a face, although I can do that if I try, it's an unsolicited image of some random person, always people, never inanimate objects, young, old, smiling , frowning, etc. Does this sound like what happens to you? I never had this until I was around 50 years old.
My mother also has this, or she did, telling me 4 decades ago about it snd I remember laughing at her and thinking it sounded nuts. So maybe there's a genetic component to it?
When my eyes are closed and I an still awake, I can see old cities with buildings and horse drawn carriages and people and street lights. All in black and white and grey. ITry to look around which I can do for a while but then it fades. Sometimes if I wait it comes back.I've never been to places like these. Seems like long ago.
Hello. I would like to get someone's opinion on this that is knowledgeable about dreams and visions...
So my younger sister passed away in 2013 from breast cancer. We were very close and I still miss her terribly. I have had dreams about her but I knew they were dreams.
So a few nights ago I was lying down. I wasn't necessarily going to bed for the evening but was starting to doze off. I mean I wasn't even dressed for bed.
So my eyes were closed for maybe 5 minutes and when all of a sudden an image-- (I guess I don't know what else to call it), came to me. With my eyes closed I saw my sister in a bed. I don't know if it was her bed or a hospital bed but I think she was in a hospital gown but she didn't look like she did when she passed away because she had shaved her hair and was thin. But in my vision, she looked like she did before she got sick. Anyway, her head was turned towards me and then she waved and smiled and then it was gone! I mean it was like a flash, like maybe 5 seconds and then I opened my eyes immediately after it was gone. What was that? Was it a dream? Was it a vision? I feel like it was not a dream.I've never experienced anything like that before and I am a person who dreams and I have very vivid dreams, very strange dreams--always have and sometimes they're more vivid than others but this was different. Not just because it was my sister but because of the way it happened and it was so quick and the wave. I don't know what that means or what what it even was. Can somebody help me? And i'm going to say this just for the sake of background information.
I live in a different states than she did and but it's was only about 3 1/2 hours driving. But I was not there with her when she passed away. And even though in some ways I did say goodbye to her about a month before she actually passed away once we knew she was going into hospice. I didn't really know that I wouldn't get a chance to see her again before she actually passed. The last time I saw her was actually about 2 weeks before she passed. She and her husband were in this area and they stopped by on their way home and I remember giving her a really long, tight hug not knowing tthat was for sure the last time I would hug her. And I've always hated that. I've hated that I didn't wasn't actually there to say goodbye although like I said I did say goodbye to her weeks before.
So what is that that I experienced? Was it some type of vision? Was she coming to me to say goodbye because she knew I was? Experiencing some anks about it? If so why after so long? I mean it will be ten years in a few months.
So if there is anyone out there who is an experienced dream or a vision or whatever you want to call it interpreter. I would really appreciate your interpretation. Thank you!
i am a male ! yes i have the same things i see different people face both male and female old or young i never meet when i close my eye in i am in a relaxing setting ! they dont appears to be passed away people like old people who have passed etc ! sometime i even feel if i am become them for few moment ! one at a time ! just like the netflix movie (sense 8)they arent scary or upset ! i have experienced remote viewing few time from the past when i were younger! but i havent been needs to use it or able to capture how i did it ! anyone feel free and contact tome to share the mstery via google! ps : i never diagosed any mental illness in my life but rather i am a carer if that help
yep i see them also just like what you described ! but in time i actively reach them in my head more in front of my eye when closed they last longer than few seconds and i can even feel a bit of their emtion as if i become them ! like a netflix movie sense 8 but only last 10 secs! then gone next person jump in etc! i pretty sure it is not a dream as sometime i can see them when i walking in the house! i dont drink or smoke or suffer any form of mental illness!
Mine began as short bursts of light, now As time passed, I started to see a different world people did not look human, and animals looked like shadows. there are buildings forests. and rocky Land with mountains. These last aslong as my eyes are closed, and at night I see it even with my eyes are opened. Nothing ever was disturbing.
I often see grayish white images of ppl and things. It moves like a motion picture. I find myself focusing on it to the point my eyes hurt.
Am I the only one that is a bit spiritual? Do anyone experience sleep while your brain is active...or see something in a dream and can control it at times?
Here's a brief story- a couple months back I had a dream that I'm walking into the house. I sat down and there's something watching me that I can see from the corner of my eyes. This pigued my interest. I'm literally fighting to see what was holding me back from viewing it. The moment I forced my way to look up I caught the black image for a split second before it changed into my deceased bestfriend and called my name...jolting me out of my sleep. This isn't the first time tho. Sometimes I really can control things and not sure how I do it or if I feel weird that I suddenly go into this mode...I don't wanna call is astro-projection, but someone assist me plz?
I see my surroundings with my eyes shut all the time. Its a grayish haze but I can still see the outlines of objects and even my hands and body. I also see shadow creatures. There is literally a spiritual war going a
on right now because I can "control " the spirits, for lack of a better term. I mentally push them away from me and they disappear behind a hazy black hole. From researching, I've learned that I'm pushing them back to their side of the veil. They come back immediately though which really sucks cuz this is scary. I've read about demonic attacks, alien invasion, and ASTRO projection. Although I don't necessarily belive astro projection is NOT real, I don't believe this is what I'm experiencing. I know that it's terrifying and hard because a lot of advice that's given is to not give these things your fear. Prayer and meditation are the only things that give me a moment of relief. And I literally mean A MOMENT because it takes complete and continuous concentration to keep pushing these entities away, then they come back immediately. They come within close proximity to me and suck my energy in through their mouth. The best advice I've gotten is to seek out a priest for deliverance from demonic attack. This is because the attack means that I'm being saved and I'm a threat to Satan and His minions.
Part 2: Along with the shadow entities, I see blueish orbs (like a UV blue) and honestly, they look like fairies. They have wings and they pulsate a UV blue color circles that seems like energy. They seem to be in cahoots with the shadow entities because they pull the creatures through the veil. Through watching, I've been able to discern that the shadow entities suck energy and share it with the UV blue fairies whom then use it for an aphrodisiac.
Conclusion: I've given you all the facts on what I experience daily and my opinion. I don't think I've ever written anything more sci-fi sounding than this and what you do with this knowledge is up to you. I've posted bits and pieces on other forums and have gotten lots of "your crazy" but I don't care. The is the first time ive spilled it all. This is the honest to God truth and all I can say is God save us all.
This is very close to what I can see. I can see things around me When I close my eyes. With closed eyes, I find that I am in a forest. As I move I find tunnels, and the other side there are tall cliffs with other tunnels, some lead to a beach or town. The town looks post apocalyptic. I also see a fussy black area that fades leaving people that do not seem human. The people ignored me at first, but now they stop and look at me. They attack me sometimes. There are also animals like here, but not the same. This never goes away, it is also shows up in the dark with my opened. I read that people like us are estimated to be 0.02%of the population.
And someone please reply to my comment
Hi. I have had this for years. It Started with red blue and green colours.After a while, it changed to the same colours, but now like sand flowing like a stream. As time went by, I started to see calm water, and when I looked there was blue sky behind leaves of a tree. I then began to see a forest, sometimes summer or fall. At the same time I saw a Lynx with spots like a leopard. All of these lasted a few seconds. The visions started to last longer. I would move through a forest on roads, I was alone. Then apocalyptic buildings, and ruins. I then started to see people, not human and strange animals. Some animals would morph into giants. Now some animals attack me, and the people will chase me. The people now surround me.
At this point, I see these with or without my eyes open. The only time I am free of these is during the day in with my eyes open. At night, I will go down the hall, and all I see is the forest, I have to feel my way to the light switch.
At night, when I close my eyes before going to sleep, I see black and white skulls, demon faces or crows flash before me only for a few seconds. I don't watch scary movies that can cause these visions.
Can anyone explain what it means or why it happens?
I am just now seeing this. It happens to me when I lay down and close my eyes to go to sleep. It's. Like bright white dots will start way in then distance, then move closer and spread out like star constellations. Then it will move from left to right or up to down and change its constellation shape so to speak. Then it will just fade away leaving a kinda cloudy where it faded out. As the next one appears I can see we're all the other ones faded out as if they left a puff of smoke or a cloud that is just a little bit lighter than the pitch black. They will also sometimes form into a circle or triangle type shape, and even some other shapes that I can't really make out. But it always start very small and distant and then spreads out to form some shape until it moves to the other side or up or dawn and then fades away. Very strange. I thought it to be nerve and brain pulses, but I really don't know.
Guy I know I’m going to sound crazy as heck - but it’s something intelligent making the pictures behind our eyes. I know because it started that way closing my eyes and seeing images but now it has started to communicate in thought form but it’s not always nice. Fyi. I don’t know what it means for everyone but I’ve been taking opiates and it DOES NOT like that - it also seems to control my dreams. I wouldn’t recommend giving it any attention or trying to talk to it. Not sure what or who it is but it gets worse if I take more medicine and audibly (in thought form) tells me to take less. Yes I sound crazy but just look for my previous comment over two years ago.
