    I did look into the squiggles about two years ago,as we have a family history of merlacula degeration and glycoma.the sguiggles are blood cells traveling through the eye veins at the back of the eye,u will often see one straight after the other.the larger squiggles often in chains with circles with circles inside is loose eye wall which has broken away.and lastly the very rare snow vision which Julia has is something of an enigma but may well be caused by very tight muscles where the skull meets the neck.a pioneering doctor has cured a few patients massaging g this area.it didn't work for me how ever and still causes me very bad night vision.oddly when I mediate my visions manifest from the snow ,the snow does throb and constantly moves.it's great when you look at a clear sky and all three going on at once.

    Thanks for the response. I'm not sure if it's the same thing. My eyes are healthy, save for not having 20-20 vision. The squiggles that I see look more like gray-silvery tadpoles, a bunch of them, that swim in all sorts of directions, and I see them when my eyes are closed and in the trance (mind awake and body asleep) state of consciousness.

    LadyM,

    Tadpoles, yes, that's exactly how I describe them. And grey-ish or silvery, very alive and ever-active. Been seeing them for years and have gone through a plethora of explainations very much like the other participants on your thread. Weeding out all possible physical difficulties, I have concluded these squiggles or "tadpoles" as I call them are Prana pure and simple. I think as we move forward in spiritual awareness, we're actively taking in and witnessing the ever present Prana.
    I often do the simple exercise of opening the crown chakra and funneling Prana throughout the body. Perhaps that's what you are experiencing as well.😀

    I had to think of this thread when I read this earlier today:

    Quote Now, I had already come upon this notion in a book called 'Essay on the Origin of Thought' (1974) by a remarkable young philosopher named Jurij Moskvitin. Lying one day in the sunlight with his eyes half closed, he became aware of a kind of moving mosaic pattern through his eyelashes. It seemed to be made of tiny light fragments, and as he slowly developed the ability to focus on them, he recognised patterns like those in religious art., "art and ornamentation created by civilizations dominated by mystical initiation and experience." These forms, he finally decided, were made up of "dancing sparks", a little like the tiny lines in the work of the painter Signac. These sparks, which he decided looked like little tadpoles, make up our whole visual field, on which we impose shapes. He compares it to the way that, in a Dutch painting, a wineglass examined closely proves to be merely a few strokes of yellow paint. Moskvitin is suggesting that the external world our eyes reveal to us is simply a limited version of a larger inner world. I was reminded of Moskvitin's thesis by Mike Hayes' theory of light - on which he expands greatly in this book.

    I apologize for not responding to your post. I am just seeing it today. Prana -- a possibility that I have never thought of and it could be that. If it is that, it's stopping me from having a conscious out of body experience. You're saying that if I do this exercise of opening the crown chakra, it will help move the prana out of third eye's field of vision?

    Thanks for posting the quote. This is a possible explanation too. Lately when I see the squiggles, I try to observe them for as long as I can. Sometimes they become dancers, taking on human form. Something about watching them for too long, however, sends me right back into waking consciousness.

    There is a kind of gelatinous tissue in the eyes that detach from the eye ball in some people, mostly those with myopia.

    And this gelatine floats around and looks like tadpoles. There is no concern with this except from seeing it. You can live your whole life with this as i have ( in fact i thought for decades that everyone saw those until my optometrist said no, unly some unlucky myopics).
    Nothing spiritual about this and it ain't prana.

    Prana can be seen in sunny days and is much more like sparky dots or white ones. Not tadpoles like at all

    Ask your optometrist

    Thanks for your post. Someone pointed something like that out earlier in the thread. What I have trouble understanding is how is it possible for me to see them at night, in the dark, with my eyes closed and in a trance state? I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it would be strange.
