Hi All –
Somewhere on the forum I read an account of someone waking up and seeing an irregular charcoal colored blob in her bedroom, which emanated an orange light. This weird thing persisted for several minutes. I thought that this was probably a dream, BUT last night it happened to me! And, I realized it had happened before.
For years, I have had dry eye in my left eye, after cataract surgery. When I sleep on my left side, sometimes this eye is slightly compressed by the pillow. When I open it, in the dark at night, I see an irregular charcoal colored oval blob which emanates an orange light. This lasts a few moments (what a long time) and then fades away. When I put in eye drops right when I wake up, it fades really fast. It is, overall, an intermittent occurrence.
I wish I could find the original posting, but my search skills are unequal to this task. EG, where art thou? The bat signal is in the sky. (Also, if possible, please move this post to where it belongs. ta.)
