i just sneezed.
and when i opened my eyes. i saw like 20 grey lines with a thin aura of white light around them. they were around 1 inch long and very thin
they were moving pretty quickly. on any surface i turned my head to face
at first i thought they were bugs like flies and i was freakin out
dafuk never had this
what could this be?
it lasted for like 30 seconds
They're undeveloped proteins that just kind of float in the vitreous humour. Normally, they settle to the bottom of the eyeball, but a sudden jarring motion shakes 'em up like a snowglobe, and light refracts off of them.
The thing you experienced is the "seeing stars" that boxers talk about.
