Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes?

  I see brown and tan herringbone with paisley patterns blooming through it.

    That’s closest to mine, honestly. More of a beige and black hounds tooth, though.

  I do, and have had the same question.

  Yes, but its not purple, its just like as if your soul was drifting through the universe and you see tiny dot-sized stars from afar.

  Sometimes I couldn’t sleep and the lights are off and there is a tiny bit of ambient light outside, and I just open my eyes and stare at the celing and also notice a sort of static like that, but with a brighter background light.

  I’m glad to see most people replying yes, I was like “wait, is it not?”. The only time I don’t see noise is when I look at flat colors on a screen and I’m not a fan.

  My wife and I have never experienced this. 🤷

  Very interesting though.

    its like constantly seeing static, in a non bright room.

  Yes. And if you want to see something really cool, take a look at a clear blue sky. You’ll notice tiny dots of lighter color moving quickly following constant short trajectories. These are your own leucocytes moving through the capilars right in front of your retina. The brain compensates the darker color of the predominant red blood cells, so you can’t see the capilars, but the white blood cells are translucent, so they appear as lighter dots!

  Mine varies from the static to a fine lattice grid that is constantly changing.

  In poor light I see an outline to all visible shapes. The outline is in green color.

  a small proportion of people have this, i have it mildly as well. my opthamologist at the time said it wasnt common and he only knew a teen that had it. its mostly because of the part of yuor brain thats active.

  Aight! I want to heart from people thinking this is normal, or not, and if you can actually see pictures in your inner space. I feel a doctoral dissertation could be written here.

    it became more pronounced around the time i developed peripheral neuropathy for a while, and RLS like 10 years ago. then its still there but its less severe than it was before.
