little dots in the sky

I wonder if anyone else have ever seen this, but one day i was sitting outside, before one of my classes just staring at the sky, and I kept my eyelids open for a long time without blinking and I started to see these blue/indigo dots moving around in the sky and consumed the whole sky, then when I blink they all go away. This only happens when I keep my eye's open for a long time. Some of the little dots tend to move and disappear and reaper into existence as well. Here is a picture that i did in Photoshop to show you what I’m trying to illustrate.




If you look closely you will see the dots are faint and not really pronounced but you can still see them.

Are they dots, or are they sparkles? I've seen both and I think they're two distinct things.

Most of the time when I look at the sky, I see a shimmery sparkle. I think it has something to do with dead cells on your eyeballs.

yea they're more sparkle like, but dot shaped?
thanks for the info though

sometimes it hurts to look at the sky, ( not talking about the sun) just cause it is kind of bright in general. I wonder if the spots are just the eyes trying to adjust to the brightness. Or another theroy is that they are cosmic rays falling to earth.

I see that now and then as well, not just in the sky but all around my room and the likes. One day I got it really bad, I stayed up all night and went outside when it was morning and the sky was full of it I think it's got something to do with your eyes, not sure though.

My mates mum is a reiki master and I asked her one day what those little dots are and she told me that its just energy floating around. I just think its dust particles in your eyes or dead skin cells.

Those little dots are called 'floaters' and are actually inside your eyeball. You see them as they float around in your eyes, and it is basically dirt, dust and lint in your eyes.

i see them too. i see them not only in the sky but everywhere.

This is the truth. As you close and open your eyes slowly you can SEE the floaters reacting to your eyelid movements....proving they are in FACT in your eyes..ON your eyeballs.
Yup.

I am considering a NEW possibility that has to do with chemtrails however. Since they are dumping fine particles of metals ect into the upper atmosphere then maybe they gather into themselves, forming balls like things.....or just sparkling in the sky where there used to be NO sparkles....heh

There are several distinct dots you could be seeing. Floaters, the blue field entoptic phenomenon, or visual snow.

I also see little dots around me all the time, although I'm not sure they are related to any of the things I've listed.

thank you guys for the information!!
i haven't seen it much anywhere except when i look at the sky for a long period of time and I'm glad that other people see it too making me not insane lol

That happens to me all the time, when i was a kid i thought they were air molecules bouncing around, Who knows maybe they are.

Wiki has a great picture and read on floaters.

When I push on my eyeballs really hard, its like Im flying through billions of stars at near light speed. When I stop pushing, it takes a few minutes for my vision to return. I wonder what thats all about.

The picture on the Visual Snow wikipedia page represents what it looks like really well.. the blue field entopic phenomenon fits the description really well too.

I've seen floaters too but that's definately something distinct. They are relatively stationary and don't have the same shimmering/sparkle effect.

Sometimes the "visual snow" makes it slightly difficult to read text... particularly in a book like a paperback novel, but sometimes on a computer screen as well. Does anybody else get this too?
At least that's the only explaination I can come up with.... it's not a focus issue, it's an interferance issue if that makes any sense.

This is false information. I mean no offense, just want to set the bar straight. Floaters are caused from multiple things, but none of them are dust or dirt in your eye.

The most common cause of floaters is shrinkage of the vitreous humour

However, there are many other causes, such as tears in the retina that release red blood cells.

Dust and dirt can be removed, floaters generally stay for years at a time and fade away if your lucky.

What the OP is describing is not floaters.

I have done this before! It is a very weird experience but quite enjoyable i think.

I think this has something to do with the fact that you are rubbing or pushing your eye to hard and your eyes are trying to adjust to the light that is passing through the eyelids. It could also be something else...

I also see these dots you are speaking of but i also see objects and they are not floaters as you described, they are in different colours and sometimes go around objects like a shield.

It may sound like an aura but i know what an aura is.

Im not too bothered about what it is but i would like to know more...

pretty wild you bring this up... On a very bright day when I look into the sky I see these dots!
For a long time I thought I was just seeing this as there was some liquid in my eyes. And I was just seeing that as an illusion.

But everyday when the sun is bright I look into the blue sky and see thosands of tiny dots! As it almost looks like its snowing outside.
But I live in florida so its no snow!

I am pressed for time here, but when I get out of work tonight I will edit this post, and give you some more details..

It's energy. I see the same thing when I stare in a dark room, or up at the sky, or at a wall. I have a couple floaters too, but these are different. I started seeing the energy more as my psychic abilities increased.

Yea and hey are almost see-through with a hint of blue and they move around and some of them tend to disappear and re-appear like I said. And they fill the entire sky. I don’t see them much anywhere else but the sky.

Very interesting information that others have given though

Thanks!
