You have too much gain.
But yeah it’s normal.
I always assumed everyone saw it. I’m not special after all.
Though mine is gray, definitely not purple.
I can make static if I squeeze my eyes very tightly, sometimes spots. No one i asked when I was little had the same results. Haven’t thought about it in a long time.
If you see this when your eyes are open then it may be visual snow.

I have this… I just thought this was normal vision. I hate my eyes 😔
So did we all, friend. You’re one of the tv static people now. Welcome
I have this in my right eye without break but also no migraines
Aight! I want to heart from people thinking this is normal, or not, and if you can actually see pictures in your inner space. I feel a doctoral dissertation could be written here.
I see pulsing waves of color, even in pitch black rooms. When I was little they were bright as fireworks, now, depending on the night they’re either just vaguely waves of purple, grey, and blue or sometimes electric blue and white.
I was recently reading about this because I discovered there’s a name for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner’s_cinema
Oh yeah, those things, I get them too sometimes. I always thought they looked like one of those super old Mac screensavers. (I can’t find a picture, but maybe someone here knows the one I mean.)

Yes. It’s called “Eigengrau” and it happens due to the adaptation of the eye amidst the darkness.
The indistinguishability of dark events from photon responses supports this explanation because rhodopsin is at the input of the transduction chain. On the other hand, processes such as the spontaneous release of neurotransmitters cannot be completely ruled out.
So it’s like when a camera doesn’t have enough light to properly take a photo, producing a lot of grain. Like when you have a high ISO when taking a photo/video in a dark room, it looks very grainy. I guess the eye is still adjusting its “exposure” if you see some of this graininess in the dark (or when you close your eyes?)
how did you take this photo? Small camera through your ear?
They just closed their eyes and then pressed in their ear and anus to take a screenshot.
Wow that’s so much easier! I’ve always had to pee and fart at the same time
“Peeing without a fart is like having sex without an orgasm.”
Idk what piss poor model you guys are, but for me is sneeze & fart, much easier imo.
This is a normal closed eye hallucination level 1 on this Wikipedia page
Oh shit that’s why I can like make shapes and shit when I’m like in deep relaxation
Ever try one of those float tanks? They’re really good for that.
Yes, but its not purple, its just like as if your soul was drifting through the universe and you see tiny dot-sized stars from afar.
Sometimes I couldn’t sleep and the lights are off and there is a tiny bit of ambient light outside, and I just open my eyes and stare at the ceiling and also notice a sort of static like that, but with a brighter background light.
Yes, and if you GENTLY press on your eyelids you can make other colors happen.
Also if you stare at a clear sky, NOT AT THE SUN, or at a bluish wall, you may see little swirly things, it’s the white blood cells in your retinas swimming around.

I’m glad to see most people replying yes, I was like “wait, is it not?”. The only time I don’t see noise is when I look at flat colors on a screen and I’m not a fan.
Welcome to the simulation
I wish it was still 1999 :(
Can I offer you a blue pill in this trying time?
I see brown and tan herringbone with paisley patterns blooming through it.
That’s closest to mine, honestly. More of a beige and black hounds tooth, though.
This gif is very calming to me.
