Comment on Have you ever been shown the "clarity"?

  There’s not all that much more to tell, really.

  Normally, particularly when it’s really dark, I have a lot of little blotches of a lighter, gray shade that fade and shift constantly across my whole field of vision. Until it abated temporarily, I wouldn’t have thought it possible for it to abate. But when it did, I got to experience a more potent experience of “darkness” than I had before probably ever. But it wasn’t just darkness that was amplified. My vision definitely felt “clearer” of… the ordinary sorts of visual artifacts I see pretty much all of the time.

  It was a very calming and pleasant experience for sure. Definitely the sort of thing I wish could be the case all the time.

  This has only happened to me once. It came on while I was meditating (so that may not particularly qualify as “spontaneous”, but anyway) and lasted until I fell asleep maybe an hour later. By morning, my vision was “normal” again.

  I’m not saying my experience was (or wasn’t) the same as the experience you’ve had. I don’t disbelieve your account, though. And it wouldn’t surprise me if the same sort of experience I had might sometimes be experienced spontaneously by some individuals.

    OK thanks for the detail. I actually have the “visual snow” didn’t know it was called that. But I don’t suffer any of the symptoms of the syndrome. I always assummed people just saw like that at night time. But I read that it is 2% of the population only.
