Yeah, that'd be this, which is pretty standard for most people (I think). Visual snow's relatively rare, apparently.

Well, glad to say I am not subject to constant fuzzy reception with reality...

Yeah that's about right.

[Frumple]

Nah, reality's pretty clear. It's more like having a second mostly-transparent layer overlaid over everything.

Fuzzy reality gets fixed by glasses or contacts

Or, in more short term cases, it can be cured by a process called 'Sobering up', however, this process is often deemed cruel and unethical by medical boards, and should not be practised.

By following some of those links, I learned that the little things I used to wonder about when I was a kid are called floaters. Funny that I've never talked about them to anyone. Ever.

I should really stop by the sad thread more often. Apparently KNOWLEDGE is a by product of depression.

Welcome to science.

That is really weird... I remember such a thing when I was much younger, but I don't get them any more.
Maybe my eyesight has just gotten so bad I can't see them any more.

I wish I never read http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1120 reminds me of the "noise" I see in the dark.

I'm scared :O no sleep tonight again.

Don't be. I've actually been halfway tempted to start up a visual snow thread to see how many other folks here have it/have experienced it.

It took my almost two decades to realize that it wasn't how most other people saw the world, heh. I'm semi-lucky as it didn't onset for me; seem to have been born with it. A lot less distracting when it's the only thing you know, yeah.

But yeah the dark was fucking terrifying for a long time. Giant multicolored amoeba-things larger than you floating around is not conducive to untroubled sleep. Eventually figured out they weren't going to eat me, though!

Wai... so it's not normal?

Nope. I don't get them at all. Now I feel left out.

Rare enough they've not really bothered researching it so far, outside of where it's connected to stuff like migraines (and even then, only to the extent of knowing that the effect goes away with the other symptom/cause). Doesn't help that they can't really pin down a set cause, or the fact that it may actually be several different conditions (with similar symptoms) caused by several different things.

Also rare enough that the practicing optometrists (two, so far) and psychologist (only one) I've asked had never heard of the symptoms before they ran into me

So yeah, not particularly normal. Like said, took me nearly twenty years before I even noticed it was unusual, heh. Congratulations, though! You've been mildly hallucinating all these years and didn't even know it. Who needs drugs, eh?

[MaximumZero]

I do that before I start lucid dreaming. Also, the edges of my vision do that, except exceptionally bright and painful, right before I collapse from a migraine.

I deleted my Gmail. Accidentally.

Google has -not- been helpful in getting it back. It doesn't help that I know next to nothing about it, and that I use it rarely for e-mail. I use it for syncing Chrome and for youtube, that's it. So I have next to no information to put on to prove I own the damn thing. :/

My life is a fucking mess.

While reaching for my pill bottle so I could break up one of the highly addictive benzos that is presumably the only thing keeping me from turning into a walking writhing tentacled mass of panic six times a day I accidentally flipped a bowl of soup that I had barely eaten and sent it flying all over my bedroom, most unfortunately sending a potato into said bottle of clonazepam. Also there is soup in my hair. And you know what? Fuck it. I will take a shower tomorrow.

On the bright side I managed to save five pills so I won't have to go through the horror that is benzo withdrawl even though I've only been taking them three weeks. I guess it's more incentive for me to get off these awful things too.

[Pnx]

I have nosebleeds, really bad nosebleeds. Usually this is caused by dry air, but it's very humid about right now. I don't know where these nosebleeds are coming from.
