I wrote before about how I can see vivid colors when I close my eyes. Sitting on the shaded porch in bright sunlight if I close my eyes while wearing sunglasses I see a bright orange. Without the glasses I see blue. Deep, saturated blue, really pretty. That is unchanged. A couple of times lately the orange is not just a solid color but overlaid with a grid of sorts. It isn’t even but tends to get more pronounced in the center. Here is where it gets weird. I can focus that uneven grid into a picture. The other day as I squeezed my eyes tighter it started to look like a scene with a house in it. I squinted and imagined and lo and behold, a really nice scene appeared for a few seconds. Just now it started to do the same and I focused the blob and made a face. I might have been my face, wearing a hat and smiling back at me. I’m talking near photo quality. I seem to be doing it by willing it as much as squeezing my eyes. Am I headed for the padded cell? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-can-do-amazing-things-with-my-eyes/970670)._
