"Vision is controlled hallucination"  — Max Clowes

We humans rely on our sense of seeing more than any of our other senses.  Even if we can’t see it, we want the descriptions from others who have.  I’ve talked to blind people who say they make images in their heads through their other senses.  When you see something really out of place or start seeing things that aren’t there or shouldn’t be there, this can be incredibly upsetting. 

Take a deep breath and relax.  Then, look at these tips for seeing things that aren’t there.  Please keep in mind that I’m not a doctor or licensed therapist, so don’t use this in the place of a diagnosis.

 Flashes and Floaters

First, there could be a physical reason for seeing things that aren’t there.  If you see flashes, or think that one of your eyes is under water while the other is fine, or even see incredibly bright snakes wriggling through space, chances are you’re not going crazy.  You are having an aura.  These are warning signs that in about fifteen minutes, you are going to have a migraine.  If you see auras all the time without having a migraine, then you could have another kind of eye problem.  Either way, contact your doctor.

Another kind of visual and really annoying visual problems is seeing what’s often called a "floater" — a black spot that continually moves across your eye.  This is almost always the sign that there is a physical problem that needs attending to by a doctor.  I happen to have a floater in my left eye.  It used to look like a flock of birds rising, and not it’s just one bird.  This was damage to my eye after I got punched there.  After a few days, you get used to it and you don’t pay any attention to it anymore.

Faeires and Freaks

Seeing these can be even more upsetting.  This can be anything in the paranormal realm — ghosts, orbs, UFOs, whatever.  You may see something you know you didn’t make up and no one else sees it but you do.  This happens to almost everyone.  It’s no big deal. 

This has happened to me a lot.  I’ve even seen dragons.  It really didn’t change my life in any way.  However, I did know I saw what I saw and that what I saw was only important to me and the dragons.  Proving that the dragons were "real" would not do me any good.  But it has helped me to trust in my own judgment more than the judgment of others.  That’s a very relaxing thing at times.

Perhaps there are certain invisible creatures that float in the realms where most human eyes can’t see.  We can’t see ultra violet light without mechanical help — why not living things?  Our brains do ignore or cut out a lot of what is actually in the world.  But we do see enough to get by.  If you do see something freaky, most likely this is a good thing and your glimpse into the realm of the invisible is a rare treat.  But it does not mean you are going crazy.  Don’t worry if the strange thing that couldn’t possibly be there is "real" or not — just enjoy the view!

Hope this helps.
