Visual affect - unfolding mandala

[Chrysalis]

Has anyone experienced sparkling lights almost like silver glitter peripherally? I read somewhere that this is an indication that your spiritual guide is nearby. I've seen these sparkles when I'm awake and doing something that requires my focus -- like driving. I've always wondered what was going on. I don't think it's any to do with my vision because it's been checked out and it's fine, if a little nearsighted.

I used to see those all the time, but as a singular point, the effect I'm describing I always thought was evolved from this. The little tiny transperant sparkles you see following a track when looking up/bright light are your own cells in capillaries of the eye, and the tiny stars are low blood pressure, feeling faint, etc. As far as I know, Somone here might know better

But these sparkles are outside my body, off to the side. When I've seen them while driving, they were outside the car window. But I could only see them peripherally. If I turned my head to look at them, they disappeared. I don't get migraines.
