Seeing faces with closed eyes

topic posted Thu, April 24, 2008 - 9:25 AM by  david
Since I was young, I've been avoiding this thing. Now that this venue is available, and I see others with the same phenomena I'm fascinated to explore it a little. Those who said they "see faces" with eyes closed before sleeping, can you speculate a little on what you think this is?

For me the sensation is clearly visual. The snapshots I see are not moving, just faces. They aren't people I know which confuses me more. Also, the pictures are seen with my eyes, not in my head. The neuro-path the picture takes is without question using the optical receptors in my eyes, not behind them... how else to explain that??

As I said in the previous post, I thought (as a teen) that the people may be dying or dead (psychic ability), so it scared me out of going to bed there for a while.. I don't think that anymore and I noted that the faces are generally happy, but I don't know what to think. Maybe it has something to do with the conscious awareness of the whole indigo transition concept? I don't really think it's "psychic".. well, the logical sceptic in me won't admit it anyway...
Just simply, please help make sense of this...
what do you think this could be? Why would we see faces?

    This happens to me too - not on a regular basis - but often enough that I've noted it as significant. It's visual for me to...the faces appear in front of my eyes with the backdrop of my inside eyelids. Like looking at the sun with your eyes closed and seeing it clearly. The faces I see morph into one another. I remember a while back there was a commercial where the faces did that, and I was stunned, because that's what I see. And not all the faces are human. Sometimes animals or 'other' beings are in the mix.

    This started happening for me when I was an adult. To be honest, the first time was while I was coming down off exctasy. It really bugged me because it was just flashes of faces one after the other for a loooong time. But since then, it happens spontaneously when I'm falling asleep. Sometimes when I'm just relaxing with my eyes closed.

    I've never been scared by it, and recently, I've been closely watching the faces for anyone familiar... sometimes I think they are, but then they change.

    It's interesting that this happens to other people. I've never talked with anyone about it, so I didn't know...

      I have had this quite vividly yes.. One time in a huge long procession, one after another..

      I suspect they are blueprint models of the parallel lives we are leading on the soulular level... (past lives, present lives and future lives)...

      You could also just say its your imagination.. bun then isn't everything?

      peace,

        Interesting, I see my face in the moon talking to me and I see faces within patterns or trees, dirt and other stuff.. but I dont see faces literally in my eyes, when I close my eyes, I feel them and hear people trying to speak, or the remnants of my thoughts, sometimes random scenerios enter my head. hehe

    I found some other research under the classification "sleep disorders", but nothing relevant. had to laugh at that.. I don't really consider it a disorder.. they were saying it's when the brain starts to dream before the body falls asleep. Great, thanks... Still don't get why these peoples faces are appearing in my first dream.

      my guess would be people who passed, or just spirits that are involved in this plane, maybe they look at you because they know you can see them.

        Hey, uh,as long as we're sharing... I have a scary one that Ive never had a place to talk about as well, though from one psychology class I had once I thought it must have just been a manifestation of something there.. But it took a lot of convincing, years of it, because it was so real.. some kind of terrors? I never thought so before that class, and even now cant believe it: it truely happened, and it was truely visiable, in the room. (( and thats unual too, since usually when I sence other's presence, spirit or what-have-you, I only sense/see them, not with my actual eyes, but this was.))

        When I was a young girl, from about age 6 to about age 12, and after as well, though not nearly as often, I would see, litterally see, like with my eyes open as vividly as the rest of the room, eyes, all by themselves; bright red eyes, almond shape, no iris or pupel, all just red, candy apple red, and they would start in front of me the distance and height as if someone was standing in front of me - then they would fly at me, basically just getting closer and closer and bigger and bigger since they came towards my eyes. Often I would duck as they really looked like they were coming at me, but many times I would freeze with fear and they would get all the way to eyes, my face, and then everything would look red. Almost every time this happened, the whole event, I would scream - a scream full of terror.
        Ususally I would see them during the middle of the afternoon, but occassioanlly at night, when the red would seem even brighter.

        K - here's the other strange part for me - always thought that if I said anything some poeple would say that it must be im crazy, some form of 'night terrors' or that it was the devil, or a devil. K - but I truely dont believe in the devil, I guess there could be evil spirits out there, but I dont believe that there is one kind evil guy out there after all of our souls ((I believe all the religious writings in the various religions about even and hell are about different spirutal states we are in and our higher and lower selves, not a being out to get us.))

        Anybody got anything on this??? I would really appreciate it!

          Your Crazy :p

          j/k

          Oh spirits are coming out to me more than ever... did you ever feel orbs floating or fingers tickling you? That was creepy for me at first... it felt like spiders, but then I caught some pictures of these cirlces floating around and a bunch float where I sleep, also I figured out that I can make those bubbles tickle me and seemingly hold my arms and legs.. crawl on the bed.. and move the blankets-alittle.
          So I might conclude they could be very obedient spirits, or they are my thought orbs.
          Ive seen these very silvery orbs pop out of my head when I was looking at my aura in the dark, I kept thinking universal thoughts, like stuff that makes mathematical sense by means of obvious structure observation, like the earth is round and therfore we are already whole, complete, but put to sleep by some aliens maybe.

          I sense things all the time without seeing them, thats a good natural gift, it comes from your higher self, your spirit connection with the center of the earth, the axis, I bet you could get lost in the forest and yet sense where you should go and actually make it out.
          You probably know how to find anything that has to do with nature.
          And/or you have awsome ESP, you can sense the slight movement of waves, those invisble frequencies that people dont see.
          Like 11:11 is an esp, outer spirit awareness channel, to grab your attention when a shift, change or movement in your place happens.
          Listen to you dreams... not do what they say literally, unless it literally tells you, but you dreams are a very great place for you to interact with you true spirit form, your higher mind.
          Get a dictionary dream book, but get more than one, some may work better for you than others, or combinations work.
          Use your sense feelings, to get the answers. Give it time, its very well worth it. You can open a clear channel for you and your spirit to work out all karma and inner spiritual workings.
          :)

            I posted in the previous post about my experience too in which I always see people moving around. Since I have seen people I know before doing things at present and confirmed it, I believe it's people in motion at the present right now I am viewing, not of past spirits.

      What I see occurs before I am drowsy, but only with my eyes closed. The most intense time this occured, it kept me from sleeping for close to an hour. I was wide awake. I kept opening my eyes, because it was inundating me with image after image, and I couldn't seem to stop it. I don't think this, at least in my case, could be associated with the stages of presleep. However, as a waking dream, I suppose this could be possible. As a possible non-esoteric cause, I personally best like the idea of it being a stream of images from the subconscious, queuing the exposures of the previous day. If I had the assets to test such a phenonmenon, that's where I'd begin. I would first over-expose the subject to many people in a span of hours - 5 to 8, I think, would be best. I would then have them attempt to induce the stream of faces as they were in a resting position for about an hour, and would then have them 'wake up', or sit up, and take as many notes on as many faces and sensations as they could remember. After that was complete, I would wait for a 24-hour span of time, and then subject them to a hypnosis session, where I would ask them to recount any individuals matching the description of the notes they took - focusing on the most detailed and vivid faces/personalities.

      As for an esoteric answer, I think the best approach would be to begin taking notes for your own personal reference, and taking down your feelings and a short summary of the events of the day, as well. You may begin to see correlations, and it may help you understand the significance of the visions. The feelings part is very important and easily overlooked, I think.

    This exact same happens to me too. Except mine is always the face of a woman,ever since I was little she's been there as soon as I closed my eyes. I used to think she was my biological mother coming to check on me, then I found her, and it's not her. I've been lost from my path for about 6 years, and during that time I don't remember her coming to me. But recently and with a little guidance from a good friend, I found it again and she was there the past few nights.

    However, last night when I closed my eyes, I saw animal faces. But they were morphing into each other like Ash described. This past week, I've been on a quest for my spirit guide so when I started seeing them I was so excited that it was showing itself to me, then all of a sudden the morphing got faster, then it slowed to a wild boar and disappeared. Ideas?

      if it's the same woman, and she's there regularly... you have a potential opportunity to do something different.. can you reach her, ask her who she is? check to see how she makes you feel? anything to see if you can get one step closer to her would be extraordinary. Like I said, mine are still pictures like documentation pics.. maybe like work- biography shots (yearbook style) so I can't get to interface with them.

      It could be like Natalie says "psy ability" but who is she, and why does she come to you in a psy-way? If we are picking up something intuitively or psychic-allly, I'm just way curious what that could be.

    Hey David,
    this happens to me all the time. In fact I once tried having a conversation about it once with a friend and she just gave me a totally blank stare. I see perfectly clear, perfectly unique human beings who I have never seen before in my life. I once had a whole family sitting on a couch together-a grandmother, a bearded man, and a small boy with curly blonde hair and a smile that was missing quite alot of teeth. I tried drawing them, but I can never get them quite right. I'm almost positive this has to do with psy ability and perhaps being an indigo.

      Spectrum Vision, Part 1 of 2

      BY THE GROUP
      AS CHANNELED BY STEVE ROTHER

      From Steve:
      This month's message message the group gives us a look ahead to what we will see as we begin to experience Multidimensionality. This leads us to a new tool that they called Spectrum Vision and how to expand our vision to see the much larger picture that includes our multidimensional selves.

      GREETINGS FROM HOME
      Walking With Your Eyes Open

      DEAR ONES, you have moved so quickly that you do not even get to see your own shadow any more. The evolution of humanity is moving so fast, that by the time you formulate your rules, they change. This is confusing for most of you. You wake up and focus on your daily routine, and there is nothing routine about being human. Dear ones, open your eyes and walk in consciousness every second that you think about it. Every moment you wonder if you are getting bored when you are not engaged or not excited about life. Open your eyes and look at the physical body you are in. Just like the baby who tries to focus on its own hand - wondering if that really is its own hand - the reality is that you will wonder the same thing because you are not of this physical body. You are so large, so huge, that you encompass immense areas of the physical Earth. You are going to find that out in the near future because all of humanity is ready to take a huge leap in evolution where many things will begin to happen even more quickly.
      You have a choice as to how you experience what lies ahead. There is no right or wrong choice. As you move into this higher vibrational level, you will realize that the concepts of right or wrong do not exist in the same way you thought they did. There are no black and white rules. Instead, there are only choices and you have lots of opportunities to work with. You have been asking. "How do I walk forward with my eyes open? How do I work in this area to see what is taking place on this planet?" You are quickly reaching a trigger point and strange things will begin to happen as multiple dimensions begin to open for all of humanity. We have spoken about multidimensionality. It is not that you are now becoming multidimensional; you have always been multidimensional. You are reaching a level of collective vibration where you will begin to see things that have been kept from you up to this point. This is the thinning of the veil.
      The Central Sun is a Prism Dividing Light into Eleven Rays
      One of the ways we will share with you is to imagine a beautiful crystal. You can call it a prism because all crystals divide and refract light. So imagine this: A single beam of light begins a journey from Home. It is a beam of energy from All That Is. As this beam of light begins its journey, the first interaction it has is with this crystal. This crystal we will label the Central Sun. It is the first place of origin from Home. The Central Sun is the place where infinite energy is given the illusion of being finite. Now imagine at that point that the light becomes a human being and begins a human existence. In that realm, when the light hits that crystal it spreads out into eleven different rays of light. There is one soul having 11 experiences of being a human in every one of you. There are actually 12 dimensions because you have one point of perception - which is also a dimension - and 11 different experiences of the soul.
      We have shared with you these ideas before so that you could begin to grasp the concepts. Science fiction writers have already taken this idea and extrapolated all kinds of wonderful material for their audiences. But in the future this will be a reality that everyone deals with on a daily basis. So your questions now become: "How do I use it? How does it work in my daily life?" Let us give you some of the images of what we see that are ahead for you. Please understand that we are giving you a view from the top of the bus - the double-decker bus. We are sitting on the top of the bus and sharing with you what we see a bit further down the road. We can see farther than you because of our perception, but we cannot tell whether or not your bus is going to turn. That is your choice in every moment. Let us assume the bus does not turn and this is what is ahead.
      The Hundredth Lightworker
      You will wake up one morning and everything will feel a little bit different. One morning it will be the strangest scenario, because all the crazy ideas that you have been afraid to speak will suddenly be known by everyone, everywhere. All of the things you thought were outside the box are now known. It will be like the Hundredth Monkey, but we will call it the Hundredth Lightworker. Once that critical mass is reached, it triggers an awakening process that goes throughout all of humanity very quickly, spreading through all eleven dimensions of time and space simultaneously. When the hundredth Lightworker experiences multiple dimensions, all of humanity suddenly has learned a new action: how to function as a multidimensional being. With that new area, you have capabilities even though you may not yet know how to use them. In the beginning, it will feel strange. It will be scary, but at that critical level when everyone gains the knowledge at once, it will be part of your daily lives as well as your common knowledge. Experiencing multidimensions will not be just in the metaphysical arena, and it will become so deeply engrained that everyone will know about it. Learning to use it fully and get past the fear will take some time to develop. You will also start to develop belief systems large enough to hold this truth. This is the main reason we have asked you to begin developing a flexible belief system.
      From that point on, the way that you live life will change. Your normal way of learning anything is to put yourself into situations where you come face to face with the problem you wish to master. The challenge is that most of the time you turn and run rather than master the situation. This causes you to recreate the same set of circumstances, so that you can attract the same problem in a different relationship to have another opportunity to master it. Can you imagine how valuable it would be to jump out of that life entirely for just for a moment, and jump into a different reality where the same lesson was playing out differently? In this alternate life you have a different name, a different family, usually a different job, etc. Even though it is the same soul it is a different reality that is playing out due to different choices being made. There are friends all around you and you know them very well, but they do not exist in your daily life. You go to work in the morning and you have a different job. You find yourself in a totally different reality. Can you now see how valuable it can be to jump into that life to gain a new perspective on the repetitive patterns in your life? You see, both lives share the same soul and therefore the same life lessons. Here you can observe the same repetitive patterns taking place in an alternate reality.
      Spectrum Viewing
      The seeds for this shift are already planted. All you need to do is turn on your TV or watch a movie to experience that. These are the seeds that will eventually grow into your reality triggering a critical mass. By being able to take a piece from one life and walk over to another, you will be able to see the same, repetitive patterns from a totally different angle. That will be a huge advancement for every individual and humanity at large. This will speed the natural evolution of humanity more than any one item that has gone before. It is headed your way like a freight train moving very, very fast. That is why we talk about multidimensionality so often now. It will cause confusion and fear on your planet when it first arrives. Those of you who already have the knowledge will be naturally catapulted into teaching. You will be the ones who alleviate the fear. You will be the ones who simply hold the energy and play with it, rather than being afraid or thinking you are going crazy.
      There is another tool that you can begin using today. It is called Spectrum Viewing, as it allows you to develop the widest angel from which you can view anything. Imagine taking yourself out of a situation, then finding a place within the same soul. You know inside who you truly are, even though they are calling you by a different name. It is still you. If you can observe your experiences there and come back, that will give you a much wider view of your reality and a much larger perspective. That is what we call Spectrum Viewing. It is a naturally occurring event that will happen to all of you as you start raising your vibration and find yourself slightly pushed into other dimensions of reality. Spectrum viewing is developing the habit of seeing everything from the widest angel possible.
      Multidimensional Dreams
      Many of you are already in preparation for spectrum viewing in your dreams. You know what dreams are like, and dreams have interpretations and visualizations. Many of your dreams actually have parts that are meant to trigger something within you. You even have dreams to choose from as you fall asleep, and now one of them will be that you can literally pull yourself out of a reality and bring yourself into another one. Although it will happen in consciousness in the very near future, for the time being you will experience this more and more in your dreams. You will wake up mid-sentence and may not remember what you were saying or who you were saying it to. However, you will come back with all the memories and concepts about how things are different. Especially when you look at your own growth, persona, personality and the evolution of your soul from the multiple perspectives, that is when you start to see the larger picture.
      Any one of you can take the last ten years of your life and say, "If I only knew how it would end up, it would be okay." You go through a difficult situation such as the loss of a loved one, a job change or a relationship ending or beginning. At the time you may think it is a horrible thing happening to you or a difficult situation and you feel the struggles associated with it. What happens is that there is a gift you received as a result of the experience. If we asked you whether or not you would go back over the last ten years and change anything, would you change it? You would not change it because you know there is something you would be getting out of it; you would never shift the energy of what you have learned from those gifts. If you could know that ahead of time, it would be much easier to play the game of being human. That is what Spectrum Viewing is all about. It is seeing the big picture where you can see great potentials in everything that you call negative. In every experience you have there are tremendous things that you will gain from it, but usually all you see is a negative experience. There are incredible gifts that come right away as a result of these negative experiences. That is Spectrum Viewing - it is an attitude and a gift you can develop today. You do not need to wait for it.
      Look for the highest view. We see the cameras in the room. If you can imagine that your life is behind one of these cameras, do you not understand that it is possible for you to pick the camera up and experience the view from a different angle? You are not used to doing that. You are not used to saying. "This is my reality. How do I deal with it?" Well, let us look at it from a different angle. That is what will start the Spectrum Viewing of looking at things from multiple angles. Because eventually you will be able to look at it from several of your own experiences, and from multiple dimensions of your own life. You have access to that now you just do not know how to go there.
      Check back with us in June
      for the second half of
      "Spectrum Viewing" from The Group.

        Hey... I gotta finish reading this.. but I had to reply with what I read so far...

        Holy Moly... Thank you sooooo much Nick for shareing with information...

        I was just talking about this yesterday and a little bit today about why humans should never be bored and yet we do get bored...
        I was saying things like... " humans have the nerve to be bored because of the fact that we are so pure, when we are born we are full on stupid and impressoinable... however, we have this built in mechanism that just knows when to wake-up, thats the most beautiful part, that once we have learned enough... then certain things make more sence.. like knowledge is power over your own life and more.. your own evolution, advancement.. its like a test you are never able to miss, or fail, and no one can change it for you its fail proof." also I was talking about how when we sit to wait... we act all bored and uninterested in anything and or our own self.. that a babie looks at its hands and knows its life, and so its happy, and never bored cause there is always something new to discover.. or to be in the moment is enough to be happy..
        A lot of talk about birds lately...

        I was working at this one store and the lady told me her sister in law died, and her husband wants to give her the bird that was his wifes... however he is having second thoughts because his wife talked to the bird and it says certain things that sound just like her...
        For some reason I didnt know fully what to say... like I knew.. but I had a hard time trying to say it, I looked at her eyes and felt her energy like it was a test... and I half passed.. hahaha I felt compassion to give her a hug, but I was working with something else and she is a different store personale.. so I didnt know what to do... there are so many restrictions with people in general, that I guess I choked with my actions because of the two sided coin of things. I told her he should keep the bird.. but my companion says he shouldnt cause he needs to move on and he might dwell her memory in the bird and therfor if it dies, he would have a harder time to cope.
        I thought maybe he should keep it cause its like a moral duty, that it was hers and she probably would want him to care for it, its a bird... if it were things.. then Id say give them away.. but I thought.. Hmm.. life.. hahaha so keep it. The store lady wasnt to sure.. it looked like she didnt really want to keep it or take it.. and she wanted to be there with him. I wanted to be there with both of them. Thats usually the first thing I do, is want to hugg someone. For some reason I feel the need to touch hands.

        I like holding plates :)
