that sounds like what i used to call my "little arrows". i've noticed this since i was a kid (i'm 53 now).

whenever i stared off into the distance, i would see points of light flowing from the outer edges of my vision to the center. they would form circles of points of light that reminded me of little arrowheads, and would fluctuate from light to dark, but very quickly. hard to explain, i know. but maybe 10 or 12 around the edge of a circle, flowing toward the center, followed by another, then another, until there might be 6 or 7 flowing circles, pointing toward and centered on whatever i was looking at (or toward).

my mom asked me once what i was looking at, and when i told her she said she'd never heard of that before. now, she grew up in the spiritualist church, so if anyone had heard of this as being paranormal, she would have. and she was (and still is) a big fan of edgar cayce, and if there had been a mention of it in any of his work that she had read, she would have remembered. so i never mentioned it again.

as i got older, got married and had kids, i forgot about this little "quirk" of mine until just a few months ago. i wondered if i still had this. one day, i was outside on break at work and stared up into the sky. and there they were. if they were a sign of eye trouble, as many times as i've had my eyes checked over the years i would think i would have found out by now.

i also recently noticed some little snakelike things when i "unfocus" my eyes. i thought maybe they were what is called "floaters" or perhaps an infection of some kind, but i just had my eyes checked last week and no sign of trouble, other than i need new glasses again.

i have wondered what this was for a long time. so if anyone has any insight, i'd like to hear (read) about it, too!
