Dream Stills

July 4, 2009 | Filed Under Personal 

An odd ‘condition’ that occurred for a couple of days after my operation is worth mentioning for the strangeness of it. I haven’t mentioned it to my doctor so maybe when I do he’ll say it’s a common thing. I must stress that I wasn’t on any painkillers just eye drops.

For about two days I could close my eyes and see what I can only describe as dream stills. They were short lasting but clear images, moving but no sound and not connected to anything I was thinking about. I would just close my eyes and they would be there. They sometimes took up my whole field of vision and sometimes just a portion of of the vision field. Like sleeping dreams they were random and often did not picture any places or people I knew. They ranged from an aerial view of a small town at night to an ancient chromed helmet lit up inside by coloured lights.

This ‘condition’ faded away and now it’s back to normal when I close my eyes.

Too bad, it was weird but interesting at the same time.
