bright bluish flash!

[psychedelia]

im unsure of were to take this so  i hope it is the proper place.

simply i started meditating few months back and its been useful with dream recall and helping me relax and sleep but a few weeks ago i had a bright! bluish flash in the upper right corner of my closed eyes it freaked me out i had no idea tht could happen. i googled it and all i found was a burst of energy from a sub energy level we normal do not observe.
if you have an answer id love to know it!

Congrats! 

Sounds like you are hitting one of the first steps of walking down the long staircase into your consciousness.

When you start exploring your consciousness, you find sorts of weird stuff happens. Lights, sensations, etc. At first it is overwhelming because nothing is ever the same. You have been so intimate with your perception of perception, it is confusing that this stuff was ever there to begin with. If you are serious about this; as you progress you will start picking out the patterns, the cues, and making a mental map of you mind. You consciousness is a vast realm and these lights are only the beginning. 

As you start to shut down your tactile sensations and disconnect yourself from the physical, out of place sounds and bight flashes are extremely common. Think of it like tuning an old radio. To use a metaphor: You are twisting the dial, and catch something for a brief second, but pass it. Then it takes you a bit to fine tune it to that exact frequency. Your flash was like that brief moment of clarity. To give you some vocab. These flashes are usually a common occurrence in transitioning from F10 to F12.

To take a more scientific swing, one could say they are random synapses firing, which is more than likely as well. I remember reading something really good about this a while ago from personalreality. Regardless, both explanation are good signs if you are looking to get to the astral/deeper into your consciousness because flashes of lights are a classic signpost that will help lead the way in the dark. Literally.

F10, F12, F15, F21, etc. are definitions coined by Robert Monroe, arguable a, if not the, modern day founding father in bringing Astral Projection to a widespread and "respected" field of study.

With these "focus levels", he was attempting to create a discussable framework for discipline of astral projection. These "Foci" were his centralization for common patterns he experienced. The reason you should familiarize yourself with these numbers is that what we are discussing here is completely subjective. Any common word will have bias, better said, you will have bias to any word with context. Thus a Letter and number is a more productive concept for you to form your knowledge base around. It has high verifiability amongst peers. Each one of these "states of consciousness" have attributes surrounding them. Memorizing them and attempting to understand what Monroe was talking about will be essential in your understanding of what you are experiencing when you are alone in your own head. It's not like you can easily Google a quick question while in that mindset.

Of course I, alongside others, do not believe Monroe was 100% accurate in his depiction. Regardless, as the Lewis and Clark of this domain of science, his nomenclature should be upheld and respected as it provides a nice sequential pattern in which we can cluster main concepts around. For the lower levels of the astral, at least, I would argue that it is extremely accurate. I made a helpful conceptual framework that is Stickied on the main page in this forum. Look up top for it, it will lay out most of what he said into a nice single picture.

In addition, there is a wonderful F10 primer written by Major Tom right here.

Understanding what F10 is, why it is important and practicing reaching one will be your first mission if you are serious about this. Just look at all the stickies in this site. Everything you could want to know to become an expert is right here. You hit the jackpot by coming here. Anything you don't understand just type in the search engine. Stay skeptical and form your own opinion through your own experiences.

Best on your travels,
