What you’re seeing is the inner workings of the holographic universe we inhabit. Your brain interprets the signal as static.
/Obviously I’m not serious…
But you’re right.
Only the hologram is produced by the nervous system. Not God’s super computer or whatever.
I mean, I guess that’s true in a peculirar sort of way in which nothing really exists outside of our perception of it.
What I mean by that is that whatever we see, hear, taste, etc… is merely neurons firing in our brain, processing a signal that it receives. So if we’re looking at a tree for example; that tree is just light/energy waves vibrating on a specific frequency. It’s only when it hits our optic nerve and travels to our brain that it’s translating into something that we call a “tree”.
So when the eyes are closed, the random interference pattern could indeed be interpreted as you say. Goog catch. Kind of makes you wonder.
I see a little “DVD” logo zipping around that changes colour when it bounces off the periphery of my vision.
I saw it hit the corner perfectly once!
This, but there’s paddles on either end that hit the logo back and forth.
And I never seem to win
how did you take this photo? Small camera through your ear?
They just closed their eyes and then pressed in their ear and anus to take a screenshot.
Wow that’s so much easier! I’ve always had to pee and fart at the same time
“Peeing without a fart is like having sex without an orgasm.”
Said no one goto the doctor
Idk what piss poor model you guys are, but for me is sneeze & fart, much easier imo.
Yeah, though mine doesn’t flicker as fast - it kinda moves in slow waves.
This is a normal closed eye hallucination level 1 on this Wikipedia page
Oh shit that’s why I can like make shapes and shit when I’m like in deep relaxation
Ever try one of those float tanks? They’re really good for that.
They also mention it on the wiki page but I could see fractals and different patterns when I closed my eyes while on shrooms.

Yes. It’s called “Eigengrau” and it happens due to the adaptation of the eye amidst the darkness.
This is what the night sky starts to look like when I try to look at stars
The indistinguishability of dark events from photon responses supports this explanation because rhodopsin is at the input of the transduction chain. On the other hand, processes such as the spontaneous release of neurotransmitters cannot be completely ruled out.
So it’s like when a camera doesn’t have enough light to properly take a photo, producing a lot of grain. Like when you have a high ISO when taking a photo/video in a dark room, it looks very grainy. I guess the eye is still adjusting its “exposure” if you see some of this graininess in the dark (or when you close your eyes?)
the brain is always trying to find pattern in incomplete data. one of the explanations i have seen is that when our ancestors were sitting around the fire, those who saw the tiger or something lurking in the dark had better chance to pass their genes than those who didn’t.
it is why we are seeing patterns in clouds and random geometrical shapes on walls and stuff like that.
Welcome to the simulation
I wish it was still 1999 :(
Can I offer you a blue pill in this trying time?
Yes, and if you GENTLY press on your eyelids you can make other colors happen.
Also if you stare at a clear sky, NOT AT THE SUN, or at a bluish wall, you may see little swirly things, it’s the white blood cells in your retinas swimming around.

Sure is for me, especially in the dark
But if I focus I can see it everywhere
I see brown and tan herringbone with paisley patterns blooming through it.
I see pulsing waves of color, even in pitch black rooms. When I was little they were bright as fireworks, now, depending on the night they’re either just vaguely waves of purple, grey, and blue or sometimes electric blue and white.
I was recently reading about this because I discovered there’s a name for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner’s_cinema
Why did I know it was a NileRed video from the tiny thumbnail? 🤔
Oh yeah, those things, I get them too sometimes. I always thought they looked like one of those super old Mac screensavers. (I can’t find a picture, but maybe someone here knows the one I mean.)
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.
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 ceiling and also notice a sort of static like that, but with a brighter background light.
If you see this when your eyes are open then it may be visual snow.

I have this… I just thought this was normal vision. I hate my eyes 😔
So did we all, friend. You’re one of the tv static people now. Welcome
