Chrysalis, I see them everywhere all over my visual field. It might be a neurological condition, I too have read that new studies reveal that it may be caused by a hypermetabolism in a part of the brain called the lingual gyrus.

CFTraveler, that's interesting! Pixels. If they are pixels though, should I be seeing them even in complete darkness? Or do I have it in reverse, it's not that I'm seeing light, it's that my visual receptors are stimulated for some reason and that is what I'm seeing?

Actually that could make sense, I have very protruding eyes, and I was told that my eye sockets are too small for my eyeballs and that is why they protrude.
Maybe they are squashed against the eye sockets?

No idea. But I was asking in case it was something astral that I could focus on. I have noticed a few times that if I wake up quickly from a dream, the visuals break up into the visual snow!
And sometimes when I am trying to fall asleep, I can see the dream almost taking form in it.

So, it's like I'm seeing pixels on a screen. CFTraveler might be right, lol!

This lack of HD display sometimes make me feel that I'm in a false reality.
