do you get these like zig zaggy patterns flash behind your eyelids? does anyone know what i mean. my zigzags are very even, parallel and symetric and the flash only lasts for afraction of a second. i figure its the synapses (or whatever they are called) in your brain firing off some chemical thats linked to adrenaline. has anyone got a proper scientific explanation for this?

Dreams perhaps?

Good place ????

i have NO idea what your talking about unfortunatley...but heres something ive never understood.

If i lay in a completeley dark room, and its completley silent. I can hear the noise of my own brain working. Or so it seems. But stranger still, i can make it more intense, i can explain how, but i just can. To the point its like my brain is going into overdrive its insane! I dont mean where you make all the blood run to your head, this is different. Maybe its just me.

And maybe its the same for you. After all, were all the same, but different...right?

I don't get flashes but as I am just dropping off I get a sort of sudden whooshing sound in my head for a brief second ' .. maybe it is the same sort of thing .....

AS for the jumping bit it your body reminding your brain you are only going to sleep and not dying, that is also why we toss and turn roll over thrash about etc when we sleep.
