So finally i stumble upon this "thing" i have been having as long as i remember

Closed-eye hallucinations and closed-eye visualizations (CEV) are a distinct class of hallucination. These types of hallucinations generally only occur when one's eyes are closed or when one is in a darkened room. They are a form of phosphene. Certain users report closed-eye hallucinations under the influence of psychedelics. These are reportedly of a different nature than the "open-eye" hallucinations of the same compounds. Closed eye hallucination is directly related to a chronic type.

Sometimes when focus really hard on this, i can see faces, people moving around, like my very own weird black and white 3D braintelevision. I can partly control it sometimes, but things just move around most of the time.

Anyone any experience with this? Its one of those weird things nobody really talks about i guess.

When I put pressure on my closed eyelids by slightly pushing against them, these visualisations tend to get intensely coloured after a while. It gets kinda trippy, and slightly beautiful in its own way.

every day when I wake up, or after I close my eyes for a long time and then open them up, I see the word like that small gif basically. Like a tv channel picking up nothing. Lasts like a minute or two.

Not really a hallucination per se but something weird's going on. Apparently my eyes went to shit in January this year. Awful floaters (like 3 in each eye), crazy perception of white blood cells, and this stuff as well, all at once.

I went to the eye doctor for a full month obviously but he basically told me "shit happens" and that nothing's wrong from a medical standpoint.

i used to do that more when i was younger, but no so much anymore.


i mostly just get that "visual noise" one. if i press my eyes hard i remember being able to see stuff zooming past me all of the time, like different rooms, and music instruments. i specifically remember a cello.

i never did/do drugs... so i'm not sure i'm producing LSD on my own or what

Does anyone even see the color black when they close their eyes? I always see a gibberish mash of non-colors. Recently I learned to control some of the gibberish into super exact visuals, like creating lines on how to draw a manga face so I know if it looks like a proper face before I actually draw it. Problem is that I 'forget' the lines when I open my eyes again... *must train moar*

I don't think I have any CEVs though.

I thought everyone experienced this. I've had this for as long as I can remember.



I get open-eye and aural hallucinations as well, but not nearly as frequently.

I always see two white "eyes" whenever I sneeze with my eyes closed, really scared me when I was kid. I'd think there was a wild animal inside of my head staring at me. Is that the same thing or is it just the effect of shaking your head when sneezing?

For as long as I remember I have had waves of green, blue and red since I was a kid. They flow around when my eyes are closed at night and look trippy as hell.

Another weird thing is when i close my eyes, and get concentrated, i lift my hand in front of my closed eyes, and the shape of my hand forms like i can see through the darkness. I know its a hallucination because when i open them my hand is not in the same place i projected it.


I think all this stuff is linked to (lucid) dreaming abillities as well. The hallucinations get stronger and stronger when i get sleepier, and just transition into dreams. It made going to sleep much more fun and easier though. Instead of thoughts keeping me up, i just watch some braintv.

When a room is pretty much completely dark I can see noise almost like in that gif(There is no purple and not nearly as much noise). When I first noticed it I thought "This is like Bad Company 1."

I distinctly remember seeing raindrops (like falling in to water and rippling) at some point when I was younger doing this.
