If I stare into space in the dark, I see red and blue triangles. (tiny ones). Then they all form together, and I see a picture of some random girl.

Or they form into a bunch of yellow worms. Much the same as Nivm. Oh Nivm sees the rolly wormy images. We are the same!

Are we really just brains in a vat? Jk

I wonder why I have a tendency to wake up just before my alarm goes off on a regular basis, especially when it's set for irregular times. I've also never been able to explain how on games like BF2 and CoD there are rounds where I have a .33 kdr, and then there are times when I get 35-0 and 57-3 games. I can only think of different levels of alertness, but that alone wouldn't explain the radical jumps in kdr.

I do that all the time with my vibrating alarm clock (I'm hard of hearing and am basically deaf without my hearingaids), in fact, I tend to get up a couple of minutes before its suppoused to go off. Also, kdr? What are you talking about?

One night, quite late and a year ago, I turned off my room's light, and the few electronics here. I then sat on my bed planning to think about things, assuming that I would fall asleep eventually. Both things happened, but before that, my gaze had drifted to the area above my computer chair and second desk. My eyes adjusted in a few moments to the starlight, but although I saw the walls and assorted unclear details of my room, the place I stared had nothing at all. It was like one of those splotches you get when you look at a really bright light or rub your eyes too hard, except instead of moving with my eyes, it was stationary.
 At this moment my first two thoughts, side by side, were that I was seeing MAGIC or there was something wrong with my mind and/or perception somewhere. Or both. Because of this interesting thing, I felt invigorated (my fear). A few more moments of staring provided dreamish images on the ~empty space, but of the roiling wormy kind. I imagined things at it, and of course it changed. I turned on the light, and of course it vanished.
 I made note of it to my sister, but didn't ask her into circumstances to see it if possible.

 That's about as unexplained as it gets for me.

Probably your eyes playing tricks on you, even the starlight won't illuminate everything in your room.

Again, eyes playing tricks on you.

Every now and then I see coloured light in my eyes,chances are it is my eyes getting used to the light.

 Note:

, except instead of moving with my eyes, it was stationary.

Which means it's not my eyes, and not the synapses for my eyes. It would have to be another part of my mind, which I want to find, or something physical, which I want to be explained. Those three explanations above are about as good as "it's just random normal magic".
 My eyes were adjusted to the point that I was just a glow-in-the-dark, plastic star away from reading, like normal. I was looking at a blank area of wall that should have been white like the other walls. I'll accept "trick of the eyes" when I haven't eaten, drunk, or slept in too long, but for this I want to know which trick if you still think it has to do with my eyes.

I say "um" "er" "uh" before nearly every sentence I say.  I also stop halfway through sentences because I forget what to say next.  I also forget easy to remember words like car, sky, table.  If I sit in one place for over an hour listening to someone lecture, even someone interesting, even if I have a full nights sleep in me, I'll nod off unless I stand up.

Two or three times now since I re-located my computer to my room, it has come on suddenly in the night. 

When I go to bed, it put my computer in Sleep Mode where it waits in a low-power state for any key press.  I made it so the mouse couldn't wake it up because when I go to turn off my mouse, that would wake up the computer.  I also turn off my monitor to save power.  The thing is, it just suddenly starts cranking back up, with no input from myself.  Of course this wakes me up because my computer is so damn loud when it starts up because my hard-drive spins up and it seems very cranky while doing so.

So I'll get out of bed, check and see if anyone touched my PC, and put it right back to sleep.  It's mostly weird and annoying because it interrupts my sleep and I don't know why it's happening, and I always want to know what is happening with my computer.

Sorry man, didn't mean to do that.

One thing comes to mind for me in immediate history: I heard someone talking over my computer's speakers. Sounded like one side of a phone call, but I have no idea how it would have been picked up by the computer. Very quiet. Couldn't make out a word they were saying, even at maximum volume. Had to be the speakers, because my mute button could block it.

I've had this too. They're picking up radio waves or other waves moving through the air.

My body does weird things sometimes, like once in a while some little muscle in my leg will start twitching for about 10 minutes, or else my eyelid will, more rarely.

This happened to me when somebody was calling somebody (using my phone) I could hear them through my speakers.

Once, I saw a glass just shatter into tiny pieces right before my eyes. There was nothing touching the glass or in it except the tabletop it was resting on. I collected most of the shards and managed to piece most of the glass back together, and it's really weird - the cracks do not seem to have a specific impact point, rather, the cracks are mostly uniform across the glass surface. Has anyone else had this experience?

[andrea]

the same thing happened to me, but after touching the glass. it just exploded.

The explanation I was given was thermal stress or something like it ( just come out of dishwasher).

but reading your comment on piecing most of the glas together, I see that it was probably a different thing, my glass exploded in tiny pieces.


edit: also, my TV used to switch on randomly on its own. That, however, was a problem shared by several people with the same model of TV

You sure someone wasn't singing an aria in the general vicinity?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

The only thing I can think of is a high frequency noise caused the glass to shatter. You wouldn't be able to hear it, being high frequency, but it could cause the glass to break. Violently so, and without an impact point. Where this noise would come from is anyone's guess.

[OmnipotentGrue]

This thread came up in my replies to your posts inbox. I can't explain.

[Josephus]

Yeah, that happened to me once before, with the fanart thread in the upper boards.
