User ID: 63760271 United States 10/20/2014 12:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I can already see the BS flags flying , but im going to post this anyway in hopes of answers. Quoting: Mr.Liberty1776 Last night when I went to bed I laid down and just about when my head rested on the pillow, I see a flash of orange light out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was lightning, so I look out the window for a few , but see none. Well I close my eyes and after a few seconds im seeing flashes of light again. I open my eyes and im still seeing the flashes , im confused the walls are not catching light , I look out the window no lightning, but im seeing these flashes. Im trying to think what is happening to me as the flashes are continuing, and as Im thinking my dog is laying above my pillow and starts trembling with its ears down looking at me! My dog hates thunder and lightning and is acting like it does in a storm , it must be seeing these flashs also somehow as its looking at me. The only way I can describe the flashes is like they were behind my eyes. Let the BS flags fly. This is the strangest thing that has ever happened to me in my life. I would just pass it off as looking at my computer too long , if my dog hadnt reacted to it also. After a little while the flashing stopped , the dog calmed down , and I fell asleep. Hey OP you deserve a direct answer. If the lights you saw were bright, jagged, and followed a semi-circular pattern then you had a harmless Ocular migraine. Lots of people get them, not like a regular headache migraine but still a little 'seizure' in your visual cortex or whatever it is. People get those sometimes as a reaction to OTC sleep pm meds, coming off pain or other types of meds..but they are likely to reoccur. Do make an appt like TODAY with an eye physician and make sure it's not anything more involving your retina or optic nerve..which some conditions can cause flashes of light like a flash or burst as you described. 'Fi were you I'd get it checked out because some things are considered emergencies..which you probably don't have, yet I personally would be on the horn to see a doc this very day. Good luck ol' chum! Surely it's not a big deal but treat it like it is one. |

(OP) User ID: 56605273 United States 10/20/2014 12:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was having bad headaches now and then a little over a year ago , went to the doc and they gave me a catscan of my head to check for tumors , they were negative. I wouldnt even of thought twice about this if it wasnt for my dog reacting to it also. My girlfriend also saw the dogs reaction with no storm , and she is just as baffeled by this as I am.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24574162 United States 10/20/2014 01:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey OP- about 2 weeks ago I was home by myself and I was seeing flashes of light out of the corner of my eyes. At one point I actually saw a flash and then I saw a man walking across my living room! I actually turned my head and said out load "WTF!". That really freaked me out. Not sure what happened, but I was doing some searching online the next day and saw that the Schumann resonance scale was off the charts the previous day. Not sure what that means, just saying. Again, fly the BS flags all you want people- it happened. |

Zimmer User ID: 63164098 Canada 10/20/2014 02:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey OP! I came to say a little something about your experience. I read your thread earlier this morning, didn't think anything of it, but just a few mins ago I had a bit of a vision of sorts. First of all, listen to some of the other posters and get your eyes checked out, make sure physically you're ok. I don't mean to sound like I "know" anything, this is just what I saw. That light was you connecting to some type of force or energy, kind of like someone or something plugged a cord into you, which you experienced as this light. Not much happened, you couldn't quite "jive" with this energy that got directed towards you. This might have been going on for some time now. (your headaches could be a side-effect) I know this sounds stupid, and if it completely doesn't make sense to you, just ignore me lol. But either way, this is a time of "building" for yourself, work on strengthening your body mind and spirit, "clean out your inner house". |
