Not only do I not “see dead people”, I don’t see a damn thing!
Thanks BadBaby! That dancing chicken feet story gave me the feeling of peace and closure about seeing nothing but black when I close my eyes and try to picture things, that I’ve been searching for all my life!
I can keep zooming in and zooming in. See how the neurons fire, the muscle cells move, the molecules interacting with each other, and so forth.
When concentrating on the image described by the OP, I can “see” any element or angle that I want, in as much detail as I want. If my eyes are open, I can also see my office; if they’re closed, I see swirling patterns of blue light on a red background. Neither conflicts with the horse image. I also have distinct impressions of a chill, wet breeze, the odors of salt and seaweed, and kind of scrunchy-sounding hoofbeats. I didn’t try for those, they just showed up along with the image.
Now my toes itch from the imaginary sand in my socks.
With my physical eyes I see flashy colors and fractals when my lids are closed, but in my minds eye I can see anything in full color, full detail, just a little bit…fuzzy?
I agree with the people who have said it’s the “mind’s eye” when imagining something, not actually seeing it on one’s eyelids. When I close my eyes I see, depending on the light, anything from yellow to grayish peach (which is a really unattractive shade, I might add). My imaginings have nothing to do with my eyes, though. The horse is white, btw.
I kind of get the same (see above). I can’t remember, but I think I didn’t used to before I did mushrooms. Looking at your username, I wonder if you have also partaken of pyschotropics, and whether or not you remember if they’ve always been there, or only after messin’ wit your head?
