Seeing stars? (Sparkly vision)

[quant]

I was talking to a good friend of mine, and mentioned to him what i was seeing.

He asked me when i saw these flying points of light.  I told him as i just under the shower and the water sprayed on me.  He told he me had assumed that this was when i saw them.  This was his explanation.

He told me that the light i was seeing my bio-electric field.  And that the reason i saw this is because when i went under the shower it stimulated my chakras, and i was able to see part of my "non-visible" self.  He explained that it was just light, and that was the reason that when i put my fingers out to touch it, that is why, you can't directly touch light.

Anyways, i was happy with what he told me.  And i will definatly keep my eye out for them in the future.

What you guys seem to be seeing is energy as Tom says.  This was described by Reich as Orgone Energy.  I have been seeing this for a good few years now.  At first it got me worried.  I asked a doctor and an optician what it was and they didn't have a clue.  It was only when someone pointed out that Reich had identified it as a kind of "energy of magic" that I was relieved.  I would say that seeing it is definately a good sign.  

This is a description of what I personally see -

Seen best on a white wall or by looking up at clear sky, these dots or stars move in a regular pattern, appearing and disappearing.  Some have described them as electric tatpoles.  Sometimes when concious of them they seem to blur or create and aura around what I am looking at.  They are not floaters.  Floaters are like a grey smudge that follows the eye as it moves.  I hope this helps

i believe i have an explanation for some of the "stars". i have seen the ones that were described as the ones from being lightheaded. i don't know if they are the same ones i am about to describe.

i'm 23 and i have done a fair amount of lsd, and other various drugs. anytime that i do anytype of drug and close my eyes i can see what appear to be milllions of tiny points of white light coming at me. it appears as though i m travelling through space.

now if i m tripping or on some other kind of drug less of a hallucinagenic effect, and meditate, then these "stars" start coming faster and eventually they all start to swirl in a clockwise motion. not each individual star but the entire view .to be compared w/  looking up at the night sky and spinning around fast.

the times that i hvae stuck w/ the meditation or have done nitrous at the same time the swirling gets so fast and tight that it appears to suck in al of the stars to what looks to be a center. when they get to the closest point to this center, all of the stars have come together to form a tubelike structure.

after a few seconds there is a rushing wind sound along w/ musical tones. i m flying through this tube at incredible speed and can see geometric patterns on the inside of the tube,along w/ colors to match.

in astral dynamics this is described as a gateway to one of the planes. this was the experience that i had that has brought me to where i am today. i was curious about waht this was and went to the bookstore to look around. i picked up astral dynamics and happened to flip to the page taht had "tubelike structures" at the top. i bought the book.

i went through a stage where i experminted w/ drugs for about a year . when i m sober, which i have been for over a year now, i can still see these stars cmoing at me. the more i meditate the more i can see them. i can also see them very clearly w/ my eyes closed or in a very dark room.i have not been able to get these stars to conform to the tubelike structure w/out the use of drugs.

i have not been able to get to the end of the stucture, i think because there is no end. i havent experimented w it for a while mainly because i m intot he energy raising techiniques in astral dynamics.

i can still see them today but i don't make a huge deal about it like i used to because now i know that they are just a small part in what my experience is going to be. hope this helps.

Fredhedd, I know EXACTLY what you're talking about.  I have experienced the same thing.  I saw them best when I was on a drug, but they can be seen sober too if you concentrate enough.  One time I followed the "stars" and they stopped coming at me (kind of like like what you see in Star Trek or Star Wars when they hit lightspeed, but not as fast) and started circling around me instead.  It's tough to describe because my eyes were closed, so it's not like I was actually seeing them circle me, but then I sort of "zoomed out" and I could see myself at the center of all the circling "stars" and they created a sphere around me.  I was then interrupted by a friend of mine.  It was a very interesting experience.  A lot of times when I'm going to bed, I will try to see these stars, but most of the time I will give up.

I was just going to start a thread on this very subject.  Lately I  also have been experiencing these little floating sparks I call "Astral Nats"  and seem to really come into play when practicing "spot focus" against any uniform colored object.  Also I have been noticing larger color blotches now and again throughout the day without even trying mostly blue, black, red or orange.  That would be neat if we are actually seeing parts of our own auras!  And maybe other energy out there.  I am  so relieved to know that is energy related.

I see those "electric tadpoles" whenever I look into a clear sky.I've always thought they were just related to the inner eye,like those bits of material floating inside your eye,maybe light reflecting off subsances in there,but now i'm not so sure!http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile_tongue.gif" border=0> I have been training my auric vision for the past while,and can usually see "air disturbances" around people,sometimes clear or white,or dark,sometimes colored.

I have also seen those speks o light that move around in unisen.  Never gave them much thought, not sure why.  They have a familulatry to them for some reason.

Only when one can sit back and look at the whole picture, can one see the purpse of the little things in life.     - Derick Koelsche

Okay, put me on the list of "seeing stars", too.  A star seems to be pretty much a stationary thing, relative to our perception of time and space when we observe them, so if that's what some of you see, well....what I see I have thought of as "fireflies", which are moving around very quickly and seem to be appearing and disappearing quickly, as well.  Usually I've shrugged it off as something to do with whatever sustains the cornea on one's eyeballs.  Saw a physicist on the "Thinking Allowed" program, lately, talking about how everything is light, so...?  Who knows?  (And what about those who say each person's universe is projected from within?  How would that work?)  Anyway, when I first started experiencing it about 23 years ago, it spooked me a bit.  One night at work at a dishwashing job back in 1979, I got  dizzy from the heat and exertion, and perhaps stood up too fast, and allofasuddenwhoooOOOAAAaaaa!  all those "fireflies" were a broiling, roiling, rock & rolling mass that , for about a second or less, were all becoming a very bright orange color, as I recall, and they were blinding me--totally taking over my vision!  (I actually had this nasty, fleeting thought that I was going to spontaneously combust!  Hehe!)  This happened more than once.   Tonight as I read through all 3 pages of this topic, I tried seeing them, and could see them a bit on the computer monitor.  Sorta like the little dots on a tv or monitor get a life of their own and start moving around, but the movement suggests more than a fast, two-dimensional surface.  Sometimes I watch them in the blue sky, which is easy.  There is a whitness or transparency in some or most or all of it, (haven't really STUDIED it), so I've wondered if the bright orange "fireflies" associated with lightheadedness/oxygen debt, are actually "dying" fireflies, (lack of air).   All speculation.  I'm no scientist.

I see these also and have done so ever since I began meditating 12 months ago. I don't see them in the sky neccesarily but every where and anytime, but only one or two at a time...sort of like tinly silver flashes of light...I asked a Reiki Master what it was and she said that it was just energy....I occasionally also get purple blobs, that look like a small blob of thick purple smoke about the size of a 20cent piece....no idea what these are though, they only last a sencond!
The other day I also saw a large ball of energy (I assume thats what it was) sort of like a flash from a camera but not as bright, it flashed twice...not sure what that meant either! Just glad I'm not the only one, I started thinking I needed a brain scan or something!!!!!

The electric tadpoles - good description.
I experienced these in a lucid dream, where my recently departed mother-in law paid me a visit in the house, accompanied by others also, whom i presumed were deceased also.
In the dream i touched a wall and got electricuted, looked up and there they were ( flying sparks).
My mother in law greeted them, as if she was familiar with them as entities.
Robert Bruce mentions in his book about the high electricity present when departed ones are present.
When i woke, i remembered the details of the dream so vividly, and knew we had spoken.
Felt blessed with the experience.
I also get the firefly sparks at random times in my waking life.
A wonderful friend of mine once told me they are  the energy of angels around us.

I have seen those floating things, (look like tadpoles or something) floating around when staring at a blue sky out of focus. They seem to be internal to the membrane of my eye.

In the dark of my bedroom at night, I don't look for them anymore because I'm tired now at night, I use to see "Magic Dots" and call out to them each night when in bed. They would float around the room and surround the bed and keep me company so to speak. They would sometimes take shape and even float right up to my fact and take different abstract forms. They almost looked like the dots you see on a TV screen when sitting SUPER close, the pixels on the screen, red, blue, green.

Don't know if that's what you meant, but had to share...

Thnx

Just a funny thing happened a few weeks back.  A friend and I just got into kite flying for a laugh and so we were flying the kite down at the beach and while I was controlling it looking up at the sky I suddenly noticed that there were all these bright little dots pretty evenly spread out over my field of vision in the sky.  I yelled out to the others and enjoyed it for the few seconds it lasted.

Anyone had that before or any idea what it's about?

BUMP

Anyone else seeing stars?

[-lines-]

Seen the tadpoles, seen the quick bright lights that pop in. The bright ones that pop like a flash every once in a while are related to an eye condition that I have. Also had the tadpoles take over my vision after I stand up. Far as I'm considered, they're just eye things.

[gubby]

-lines-

May I ask what your eye condition is?

I have been getting small star bursts in my vision for a few months now and you have me curious.

[-lines-]

It's from macular degeneration, for me at least. They told me it's called white without pressure. It might be called light without pressure; I never did catch the start of the term. Ended up having laser eye surgery on both for the macular degeneration, but I'm still seeing the bursts every once in a while. Ususally they are very small, but sometimes they are larger. They'll be able to tell if you have something wrong with your eyes when you go to any optometrist.

Ever seen the dots that change colors/look rainbowy?

[kole]

I see those little dots too.
There was some interesting discussion on mysticweb forum about them.
According to the guy named Flipstar there are 3 steps.

Step 1:
This is how I see Angels in the sky. In the daylight hours, stand outside in an area where your view of the sky is unobstructed by trees, buildings or telephone wires. Take in three deep relaxing breaths releasing tension in the shoulders and neck while looking up. Try not to focus on any one thing in particular while you breath comfortably and at a steady pace. Now do whatever it is that connects you and centers you. If it be prayer then pray, if you chant, chant. Still your mind and ask permission to see the Angels of the atmosphere. Be patient this could take a minute or two. Don't be discouraged if at first you don't see anything, for some it is instant and for others it may take a few tries. With just a little bit of practice you will start to see them everywhere without effort. Try it, let me know what you see and be prepared to have your mind blown at the vast multitudes of the Good Creators gleaming hosts whizzing about, busily watching over us! Work with this for a while and then if anyone would like, i'll share step 2.

Step2:
Continue to watch them and relax, ask them in your minds eye to come closer to you. As they draw in closer allow them to mingle with your own evergy feild. After a sort while they will surround you and before long you'll be lit up like a lightbulb with an electrical energy. You can also practice manipulating them into shapes, or asking them to fly in front of or move behind trees and buildings.
We are all so ready to dismiss miracles every day as tricks of the eye or just our imagination. I tell you the truth, if your gut tells you one thing and your head tells you another, your head is a liar! In the beginning it all has very little to do with seeing is believing and everything to do with believing before you can see. Regardless of what you believe or see, the more you work with something, the more it becomes a reality. Thats what it means to take a leap of faith.

Step3:
There is a step 3 but if you don't approach it with extreme caution, you could instantly turn into a giant banana, so i'll hold off on step 3 for now....

No, I'm not sure that I've seen those.

But I have seen tiny orbs form out of these starbursts I mentioned. Like tiny silvery planets spinning then shooting away into thin air.

When I was a kid I could lay down outside looking up at the sky and see hundreds of clear microscopic sized air particles. Don't know what else to call them. They had no color but I could see them. I haven't tried looking for those in so long.

Thanks for info you shared on your eye condition. I've actually been considering going to see an optometrist just out of curiosity, maybe he/she will/won't find anything.

[Naiad780]

I see them daily, numerous times.  Because seeing flashes of light can be a sign of an eye disorder, as -lines- stated, I went in for a check up and my eyes are just dandy (beyond the mild nearsightedness I have always had).

I can see them right now  Mostly I don't pay too much attention to them because they never seem to respond to me, but they are pretty.  I do wonder why sometimes they appear as brilliant blue flashes, and more occasionally red or green.

[ThoughtForm]

I've been seeing these for some years now, still haven't quite figured out what they are though.

I first noticed them as a student when I was relaxing on the sofa one late afternoon just staring blankly up at the sky when I started seeing all these tiny specks of white light moving around the sky randomly much like pollen grains on the surface of water.

I thought I was just seeing things until I tried an experiment and told some fellow engineering students sitting beside me to look out the window up at the sky for 30 seconds to a minute and describe what they see.. all of them described the exact same thing; tiny specks of white light moving around randomly in the sky!

As far as I can tell these are not 'bits of dust' on the surface of the eyeball as they emit pure white light and move around fast and randomly. I once witnessed one speck of light 'chasing' another speck of light all around the sky, weaving in and out in between all the other hundreds of specks of light  

Now whenever I look up at the sky I see them instantly and there are always hundreds if not thousands of them.. what could they be?  

[MisterJingo]

Those stars are actually blood cells moving through the myriad blood  vessels on the retina. Usually sensory perception such as that is filtered out by the brain (deems as unnecessary), but on occasion it becomes apparent. It can also become a part of standard awareness if you make concerted efforts to perceive it. Consciously re-aligning certain perceptual filters in the brain.
A lot of usually filtered out perceptual effects can be seen if one looks for them.

[open_mind]

I see those things too, on any uniform light colored background. Now it's not a eye condition because i score as high as possible on any sight test and the doctor says my eyes is in excellent shape.
I would not think they are from blood cells or similar because they usually follow the the contours of objects like trees and a couple of times i have seen them in 3D(kinda mind blowing the first time), when in 3D they make something that can look similar to a comets tail. The colors i have seen them in is in order of most common, starting with white, blue gold/yellow and black.

[MisterJingo]

Do a google and look this phenomenen up. Also do not discount how the mind could alter these things. They could follow the countours of trees as if the tree is the only object of detail in sight (against a uniform sky), those along the 'edge' of the tree would be more pronounced. Looking for a period of time would perhaps make them seem to follow the shape.
I can lie and look at the ceiling and see a vast sea of these things (admittedly I have HPPD which could make things more pronounced)  seemingly interacting and floating around, like seeing the wind. There are many layers of vessels in the eye, and this could create many visual illusions (like them tracing objects or interacting.)
Imagination can fill in a lot of 'holes.'
Someone mentioned earlier that they can see coloured lights in bed at night. This is due to rods and cones still firing due to earlier excitementation. Such effects could also be combined with seeing blood cells to give greater effect.
I guess what i'm saying is that everyone see's these, and if there was a greater meaning to them (over that of the biological explaination) there would be a lot more literature out there regarding them.
