A sea of traveling sparks in the sky

[Wyze89]

Had an interesting experience today. I was at work, on my 15 minute break at Kmart. I go outside to smoke a cigarette. When I sit down and started looking at the sky, I see small sparks of light enter my vision. "Whoa, whats going on here?" My first thought. As I continue to relax my eyes, I start to see the whole sky sparkle with these little transparent orbs of light. Only I was seeing them. What could have this been? A mere hallucination? No, I don't think things like that happen on accident, because today also happens to be the day where I meditated, but stopped when I saw a bright greenish light start to appear from under my eyelids, and it felt like I was about to be lifted up out of my body, but then I opened my eyes (I know, I should've kept going lol). What do you guys think of this?

And also, when I tried seeing them again in the dark, they weren't there. Neither when I went back into the store. So those sparks of light had to be in the sky.

There's some great discussion regarding this in this thread: http://www.bring4th.org/forums/showthrea...ntoptic%22

What you saw is likely what can be described as "blue field entoptic phenomenon."

I don't 100% buy the explanation given in the wikipedia article...I have seen these "particles" do some very crazy things. Sometimes, a large number of them will swirl in sync together, coming together then bursting outward. I've seen one swirl in a circle for a long period of time. Sometimes they'll seem to "dance." And, on top of all that, if they were following capillaries, wouldn't they be travelling on distinguished paths, where we could trace some following others? I have stared at these things for hours and I never seen any two take the same path.

It's discussed rather in depth in that thread though...well worth the read if you're curious.
