Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a personal experience of visual phenomena perceived in a specific room during childhood, described as glistening static electricity. Participants explore potential explanations for this experience, including neurological and psychological factors, while also inviting others to share similar experiences.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes their experience of seeing a glistening static-like phenomenon in a room during childhood, expressing a desire for explanations or shared experiences.
  • Another participant suggests that the experience may be related to a disturbance in the occipital lobe, characterizing it as an "elemental visual experience" limited to light texture rather than a full visual hallucination.
  • A different participant proposes that the phenomenon could be classified as closed-eye hallucinations occurring with open eyes, noting similarities to their own experiences in darkness.
  • A follow-up response reiterates the idea of physiological sensitivity or emotional triggers being involved in the experience, while also prompting the original poster to share more unusual experiences.
  • The original poster mentions hearing a slowed-down voice in their head during the same period, indicating a range of unusual sensory experiences.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing interpretations of the phenomenon, with some suggesting neurological explanations while others relate it to psychological factors. No consensus is reached regarding the nature of the experience.

Contextual Notes

Participants reference personal experiences and subjective interpretations, which may depend on individual psychological or neurological conditions. The discussion does not resolve the underlying causes of the phenomena described.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in personal accounts of sensory experiences, psychological phenomena, or neurological interpretations may find this discussion relevant.

Would someone kindly direct me where would be the best place to post this question ,or is this in fact the place that would best help me to understand this question, or should I say unanswered question/phenomena.Throughout my childhood, and primarily in one particular room of my home whether it be daytime or night time, although more often at night time, when ever I looked into or stood inside this room (an upstairs bedroom) I would always see the entire room filled with what I would describe as glistening static electricity as if I were staring at a TV channel with no reception, kind of like snow on a chaneless TV channel. This was quite frightening to me As I child (somewhere from age 5 years to 11 years), yet never spoke to anyone , not even my family about this. This was just one of the many odd phenomena I have experienced, but would love to know if anyone has also experienced this, or has some explanation to what this was. I have my own feeling/belief of what it was, but would be interested to know if what I think it was , is what others feel it was. I look forward to a reply. Thanks!

This sounds like a disturbance of the occipital lobe because this kind of elemental visual experience is governed there. I call it an "elemental visual experience" because it was limited to a kind of texture created by light rather than being the kind of well developed visual hallucination that implies that much more of the brain is involved. It's important that this was only triggered by looking into that room. It means you were either physiologically sensitive to something in there, or that there were emotional triggers associated with something in there.

What other unusual experiences have you had?
 
I believe these would be Closed-eye hallucinations (level 1), of course, with open eyes. Your experience mirrors mine. It happened only in darkness on flat surfaces, such as the walls and ceiling for me.

"It means you were either physiologically sensitive to something in there, or that there were emotional triggers associated with something in there."
Interesting. I guess that COULD be possible. As far as the lighting, it occurred and every direction I looked, yet always/only in this room.

"What other unusual experiences have you had?" I/you could write a book on THAT question. To start, again, all around that age, that home etc., I would constantly hear a voice in my head that sounded as though it were in slow motion, as if one had an old record player, and the speed was set on as slow as it could go, causing the voice to be in a semi baritone, and so slowed down that I could not understand what it was saying.
