Little white lines...

[Jitenya]

Every once in a while, little glowing white dots move around my vision. Focusing on the makes them dissapear. Am I hallucinating, or is it somthing else?

Also, if I shut my eyes for about ten minutes, then get up and start moving around, I have a nearly perfect sense of where everything is, be it a fammiliar or foreign place. I can bove beyond what I last saw when I closed my eyes, so that rules out an extremely good mental map. Anybody know what that is?

Its not that.... I experience it myself frequently. Acctually I just have to look at the sky during the day.

Sentinal: I'm pretty sure its not that. The lines I see move around on squiggly paths.

Still possible. I have it happen once in a while bu I never felt that it had a paranormal cause. Just a possibility

Well, I can't say about your ability to perceive where things are with your eyes closed, but I know that if I'm paying attention in a certain way, I am conscious of tiny particles moving across my eye.  If I were completely uneducated about the biology of the eyeball, I could definitely believe that they are souls or something, as they look like very tiny, translucent spheres.  For me, they always travel in packs, and I can make them move by rotating my eye quickly to one side and then following them with my vision as they travel across the "globe."  There is definitely a pattern to the way they move (basically just gravity acting on moisture), but it's kind of a fun self-stimulation sometimes.  If I move my glazzies up, for example, a pack of 5-10 molecules will surge up at a good pace and then float down at about half the speed they rose.  same type of pattern if I move my eyes to one side. 

As for glowing white dots, if you don't need to strain to notice them, that's probably almost definitely something wrong with your vision.  I have heard of that specific ailment before, but I can't recall of what it is a symptom.  Have it checked, though, because if it's not visual and it's still there it could be a sign of a neurological condition.  If you suspect something neurological, be also on the lookout for funny or metallic tastes in your mouth, odd smells, etc.

leroyskagnetti:Thank you for your insights. I should have mentioned a fact I neglected in my original post. THis has been going on since my childhood, I have had none of the symptoms you described about the white lines I'v had no such tastes or smells insofar as I can remember, and while I do not have to strain to see them, they are not a common occurence, happening at most once every year or so.
