Sometimes, when I’m tired and close my eyes, I see a stream of faces. Just face after face at varying distances and angles each quickly morphing or fading into the next. It looks pretty damn neat, actually.
I’ve looked it up and just found a bunch of woo-ey bullshit about third eyes and ghosts, etc. Obviously it’s more related to sensory deprivation and pareidolia, but it definitely is a real, strong phenomenon, even if most of the reports are attached to dubious explanations.
The really weird thing about it is that I’ve got moderate face blindness. I fail to recognize people or mix them up all the time when they change their hair or jewelry or clothing style or I see them outside a usual context.
