alright, im going to try and describe this in as simple a way as possible, and hopefully not sound like a total nut while i do it (although we ARE on an esoterica board, so hopefully im in good company).
since my early adolescence, ive experienced a weird phenomena in my vision from time to time, and ive yet to find anyone else who has experienced it. i call them "drips". they are very small pinpoints of white light that travel downward in my vision. it doesnt happen very often, but ive been writing down some of the occurrences lately to try and discern a pattern out of them.
first ill try to describe what they look like visually, in detail. size-wise they are about the size of a large housefly, maybe a quarter inch in "diameter". i say diameter in quotations because they arent perfect circles, but more like a tear drop, or a streak. color-wise, they are not just the color white, but rather like a hole in an old film reel. perfectly white. but NOT bright, per say. they dont appear to give off any light, and it doesnt hurt to look directly at them. but they are without a doubt, the "brightest" color of white ive ever seen in my life. but its not something that i can actually look at or focus on for one simple reason: they are fast as fuck. they ALWAYS start at the top of my vision and travel downward to the bottom of my vision until they are out of sight (hence "drips"). the speed that they move at is much faster than free-fall. more like when an MLB pitcher throws a fastball and youre in the front row looking at the space in between the pitcher and the catcher. very quick. the whole sighting lasts a fraction of a second, but ive never been able to record the time it takes from top to bottom because they dont happen at a consistent rate (believe me, ive tried sitting in a particular spot and timing them… its just not gonna happen, i dont have the reflexes). the rate, does however appear to be uniform. they are ALWAYS this fast, as far as i can tell.
now, on to some of the patterns ive noticed with them. for one, they only happen whilst im on foot. never in a car, on a bicycle, or any vehicle for that matter. they do however, happen sometimes while i am in buildings, but only when both my feet are on the floor/ground. lifting both or one of my feet results in them stopping altogether. there is also a correlation between where they occur. if i find a "spot" where they happen, i can stay at that spot and wait for an indefinite time and continue seeing them (but like i said, not at a constant rate. there is no rhythm to them). if i leave that spot and return to it at a later time, i can see them again, but the "point" seems to be very small. if i move an inch in any direction, they stop happening. the compass orientation of which way im facing also seems to be irrelevant, and this is what leads me to believe that they arent some sort of "eye glitch" like floaters or photopsia (they are also never accompanied by a headache or migraine as photopsia generally is).
