that happens to me too there are like billions of white dots that resemble small bubbles and they float around in every direction.
i've also noticed how theres this ONE dot that stands out from the rest and wherever i look it moves directly in front of my pupil (its a much tinier black dot) but i only see the billions of white dots when i look at great empty spaces, such as the sky. oterwise i just see the one black dot, which i cant alwyas seem to find for some odd reason....

I'll assume you're referring to another person, as mine are colored and the time of day/brightness/etc. has no effect on their existence. Whether I look at white or black I can see them (even though in this pic it doesn't show up so well on the white).

I also often see those dots, but I can look right through them and see what's behind them. I see them the most when I look at something dark or when I look to the sky. A lot of mates of mine see them too though. I can see them whenever I want, but sometimes they just come up.

This is exactly what I have seen ever since I was a child as well. My parents would always tell me there are NO dots in the air but they never went away for me.



And this is exactly what I used to believe when I was a child. I would believe they were a crowd of people viewed from a great height, and the massive groups of people would form into shapes. I too watched them when trying to go to sleep although I suppose I don't anymore since they've been there for so long I tend to ignore them at this point.

The other interesting thing to point out regarding these dots is their "stability" during movement of your eyes. If you stare at a light and then look away, the "spot" you thus see moves when you move your eyes however these dots stay in the same place and do not move when you turn your head, move your eyes or spin your chair. Same is true for "slivers" which I have seen at times when looking at a very bright summer blue sky.

If these were like slivers or "light burn-ins", I would expect them to act like slivers and light burn-ins and move as well when one moves their eyes from side to side but they do not.

I am very happy to finally have found others who experience this and even happier to now have a picture I can point people to that portrays these dots. Now, if we could only figure out what they are exactly...

Oh. My. God.

I'm new to the forums and I joined just now only because I just saw this thread..

I have seen these "colourful dots" since as long as I can remember. They're all different colours and they dance around creating images and shapes. When I was about 6 or 7 I thought I was psychic and that I could see energy or magic. Now, I'm not so sure what it is. But when I look at the sky it appears that the dots are not actually dots anymore, instead they appear as bubbles and colourful shooting stars and balls of light that just spin around and shoot through the sky. I have tried making myself tear to see if I can still see the dots so I don't think it is anything to do with my eye being dirty or whatever. These dots move around and change direction and sometimes arrange themselves to create a 3-dimensional object in the air, if you get what I mean.

It's amazing to have finally found others who share the same issue as me, I've been wondering what these were for over 10 years.

Sorry... Why would you be psychic?

yes i used to get this alot when i was younger. when i was in bed in a dark room with no lights on like white silver dots flowing across above me. its very weird but didint think anything of it then not had it since.

see a doctor. sounds vascular possibly ( that's what is affected when we see 'shooting stars' . could be lots of things ............. but see a doctor.

I myself had retinal holes in both eyes done (they didn't know why , possibly due to being nearsighted)

What causes light flashes

The bright white flashes occur when the vitreous gel rubs, stretches or pulls away from the retina. The flashes can resemble lightning streaks, flashing lights or for me, I thought it looked like a shooting star, and moved in a half circle around the outside edge of my vision.

If you have ever been hit in the eye, you may have experienced "seeing stars", which is actually what I described above.

The light streaks or flashes can appear off and on for weeks or months. and as we age, it is more common to experience the flashes.

Again as with the floaters..if you experience flashes, you should consult your ophthalmologist.

My exam was completely painless, my eyes were dilated, and I had to wait for about twenty minutes, the doctor peered into my eyes and checked all sides of it for any sign of retinal tearing or detachment.

Prior to the exam they also checked my eye pressure and my vision. The doctor could find nothing that needed any medical attention and I was on my way home shortly.

I was advised to return if I observed any new flashes or floaters, but that what happened to me, was just something that happens often to people in my age group (I am 51 years old), and does not have to be serious, but should definitely be checked out if it occurs.

A visit to your eye doctor can bring you a lot of stress relief if it turns out to be nothing serious, however, if your retina is starting to tear or has detached, immediate medical care is needed.

Some indications that your retina has actually detached, is loss of vision, or a veil or cloud that settles over your vision, but often prior to this you will experience a new set of floaters or you may see the bright white streaks.

If you are diabetic, you are probably already aware of the seriousness of any changes in your eyes.

Your vision is on of your most precious things that you have...take care of your eyes and see your eye doctor anytime you have anything that is "strange" or "different" that appear's in your eyes.

I have moved to fast or something and saw little silver dots moving around at the top of my vision...I think that's something like "seeing stars" after you fall down or whatever.

And when I close my eyes at night if I pay attention I will see colors and stuff like that too, I'm sure it's totally normal.

i only see dot sometimes. not all the time.

I've been to an optomologist and they say there is nothing wrong with my eyes what so ever, I do see 'dots' sometimes but it is merely umm seeing static dots on a tv screen from the air and the electrical heat waves that go around it creating it.

i see the dots also they are pin points that buzz around like a swarm of bees also see the floters but mine are segmented like some germs you see on a slide strip

i have somethig like this.its caused by the eye focusing a little to tightly,the presure in can leave an echo thats picked up by the nerves & translated into an image,if you squint where your looking through your eye lashs you can refocus you eyes to see objects flotting on the surface of your eyes too.

I have read this whole thread and I'm sorry to say it, but it's amazing how people refuse to go to the doctor.

Agree. The first thing anyone should do is get their eyes checked out by a professional.

Seeing as this is potentially a medical issue, I am closing this thread.
